Privileged – Yes, We Are.

Are these three statements true for you? I‘m alive. I’ve eaten food today. I have a safe place to sleep.

The bare minimum is actually quite adequate. When it comes down to it, most of us are doing pretty well. If we’d be honest, God has blessed us abundantly. Sure we each have a different journey, but we all have assets to manage and grow.

Exercise your muscles even a bit and you’ll have some strength. When you exercise your muscles regularly and increase the demand you can become muscular. Regardless though of how you perceive yourself, from scrawny to massive, you have the built-in capacity to move and do something good.

That’s not just an enthusiastic “Oorah!” to affirm our physical potential. It’s a call to muscle-up YOUR spiritual drive.

Ability + Choice = Privilege.

You may think you lack ability or the power to choose. The truth – – The Bible says you lack nothing! In fact Christ says, “You can do greater works than me – you can count on it!”

Privileged? Yeah!
