The King Is Coming

DAY 17 OF 26

Alive and Well

Tunnel vision is real and the daily grind is hard. It’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture amidst the challenges of life. We can easily be consumed by our trials, forgetting to look up and see what God is doing all around us. When the mission becomes too difficult and there’s little to show for all of our hard work, it’s tempting to throw in the towel. That’s when we need a healthy dose of encouragement. We need to be reminded that God is real, he is at work, he is for us, and he is faithful.

The truth is, God is doing amazing things all day, every day! He’s changing lives and impacting cities around the world. People are being saved, orphans adopted, marriages restored, communities transformed, addictions broken, finances stabilized, people living on mission...and the list goes on and on. These stories need to be told so that we can be aware of what God’s doing all around us. When we hear of the great things God’s accomplishing in our church and city, it gives us hope to keep on keepin’ on. It encourages us to keep loving, keep serving, keep volunteering, keep giving. Being reminded that God is at work motivates us to keep living out the stories God is writing for us.

REFLECT

The Bible is a collection of God- stories that remind us of the true character of God and all that he’s done and continues to do.

RESPOND

  • The word “Gospel” means “good news”. As Christians we’ve been commanded to share this good news so that everyone may know God. Who do you know that needs to hear the Gospel today?

    During the Christmas season, we celebrate the long-awaited arrival of Christ. But we also look forward, to the day when he will come back.
