William Carey – “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God!” I wonder this morning what it is that we’re expecting and attempting that’s bigger than we are? I reminded someone this week the only reason the widow’s oil ended was because of the number of pots that she gathered. Maybe we’re not gathering enough pots!

"...for apart from me you can do nothing."  Today and this week let’s lean on Jesus to accomplish what is to be done in His name!

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV

1 Thessalonians 1:2-4 ESV  “2 We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, 3 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, ... ” What would your life be like if you viewed people from this perspective?

“Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?” – 2 Corinthians 13:5

"...that does not doubt in their hearts but believes..." What an insight into what faith is! Now put that faith in action in prayer in asking, believing and forgiving others as you have been forgiven. Why hold onto a grudge or hurt when you can release it for more of God's work in your life.
