Every morning, I spend 20 minutes on my treadmill and watch a Bible study series on RightNow Media. I love taking this time to learn about God and pray. It just starts my morning out right.
The past few days, I watched the “This is the Day” by Tim Tebow series. Here are my takeaways:
Life isn’t about ONE day. It’s about THIS day.
Question: Are you living out what God is putting on your heart?
You have today so you need to make it count. Live the extraordinary life and not the comfortable one. This means risking what people think about you to do what God is putting on your heart.
You can be extraordinary & humble all at the same time. This is what Jesus was. He did extraordinary miracles and always humbled himself with others. It’s not about the fancy exterior and external actions. It’s about the interior motives and your heart. Strive to have a Jesus heart.
When you get out of your comfort zone, the giants will come. Giants of self doubt, criticism, fear, ….. Remember that God is bigger than any giant that can come at you. Pray about it and more importantly listen.
We are not guaranteed tomorrow – only this day so live it to the fullest.
Here are some great verses to go with this message:
““When you are invited to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the seat of honor. What if someone who is more distinguished than you has also been invited? The host will come and say, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then you will be embarrassed, and you will have to take whatever seat is left at the foot of the table! “Instead, take the lowest place at the foot of the table. Then when your host sees you, he will come and say, ‘Friend, we have a better place for you!’ Then you will be honored in front of all the other guests. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Then he turned to his host. “When you put on a luncheon or a banquet,” he said, “don’t invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. For they will invite you back, and that will be your only reward. Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. Then at the resurrection of the righteous, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you.””

“How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.”
