Who we choose as a base and the crew we surround ourselves with can make a huge difference in how we view events in our lives. The very things that we carry around with us can be used by God to make a difference in those around us. Where is your base? Who is in your crew?
We may never see the dark side of the moon from earth, but God, not only see’s it but knows it. He not only knows what’s there, but also how it came to be. We all have a dark side of the moon to our lives. As we walk with God, draw closer to him, he begins to surface and expose what was previously hidden, or that we tried to keep undisclosed.
Living the good life is best experienced in humility. We know that the enemy wants to stir up cares, worry, anxiety and pride, so we give our lives to walk humbly under God as our strength in everything. We intentionally stand firm, in a posture of resistance to every distraction the enemy uses to take from us the gracious life we have in Jesus.
