CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Are you a humming bird or a vulture? Either way, you will find what you are looking for.

Vultures fly over the landscape looking for the dead carcasses that they rely on for food. They have incredible eyesight and can spot a dead animal from miles away.  Hummingbirds fly over the landscape looking for the flowers that they feed on.  They are attracted by the bright colors and consume the sweet nectar inside the flower.  Vultures fly over flowers and hummingbirds fly over dead animals, but they only notice what they’re looking for.  We’re not that different ourselves.  If you are looking for negative, gloomy, depressing things to make you feel down about life, I can guarantee that you’ll find them. However, if you’re looking for exciting, positive, joyful things to help you maintain an optimistic attitude, you will find them.  It’s possible for two people to be in exactly the same circumstances and have one find the rotting meat and the other find the beautiful flowers.  The ugliness and beauty of life are both there, often side by side.  But what you are looking for is what you’re likely to see and consume, impacting your attitude, your relationships and your level of influence.  What are you going to be, a hummingbird or a vulture?  Remember, it’s your choice!

“You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13)

How are we living for Christ?  While we may not have the same physical needs as other Christians around the world, we do have a responsibility to stand in the gap for our brothers and sisters in Christ.   Are you routinely praying on behalf of others?   Jesus is in the people business and we should be too.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
God honors nations who honor him.  Our country was founded on Godly principles and I believe we are still reaping the benefit of that foundation today, even as our country slides further and further into depravity.  As evidenced throughout the Old Testament, God will honor a nation far longer than they deserve because of their foundation.  This grace that we live under creates an environment in which Christians in America often don’t know what it’s like to rely on God completely.  We live in a cushy society where our “problems” are often trivial compared to what Christians face around the world.  Our mentality of “you can accomplish anything if you work hard enough” can easily trap us into leaving God out of our lives altogether, thinking we have somehow accomplished success on our own.  Therefore we need to be ever vigilant about seeking Christ in all we do and putting Him at the center of our efforts.  We should humble ourselves daily, acknowledging that we are nothing apart from Christ.
