Highlighting God's Presence to Inspire Your Life!
Do you have that battle too or not?
Doesn’t it seem like we are programmed to always be doing something trying to balance all the “necessary” activities we do in this life?
Working, going to school, taking care of family members, attending events, meetings, taking time to go to the gym, church activities and the list goes on and on.
First, I will start with sharing a few thoughts about “stepping out in faith” and then if YOU would think of one way you have done that in your life and leave it in the comment section below you would be helping me out in finishing these thoughts! No worries. I’ll remind you at the end so you don’t forget! 😉

As humans, don’t we tend to live and view life focusing on things that relate to our five senses in a humanly way?
SIGHT…..What we can physically SEE with our eyes is what is usually our reality.
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” –John 20:29 (NIV)
++++++++++++
SOUND….The things we can audibly HEAR with our ears from so many others is what we believe.
“My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.” –John 10:27 (NIV)

TOUCH…..With the sense of touch we can FEEL a gamut of emotions from anger to happiness.
Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” –Mark 1:41 (NLT)

SMELL….The aromas we can SMELL can influence our moods.
For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. –2 Corinthians 2:15 (NIV)

What are some common things we might have to let go of?
–The security of our familiar surroundings if a job relocates us
–Our good health when suddenly an unexpected crisis occurs
–The close proximity of a child who moves half way across the world
–A relationship that can not be reconciled
–A person whom we love dearly passes from this life
–When the direction of your life might not line up with God’s way
Take a few minutes to think about your favorite song and who sings it.
What does the song remind you of?
Why does it hold such special meaning for you?
