    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>What is your ambition? What motivates you? Paul talks to the church in Rome about being filled with the Holy Spirit and allowing his joy and peace to bring confidence. The closer we are to God, the more confident we become in Him and He uses us for his glory. But we must be willing to allow Him to use us! Paul was consistently being used by God and yet he would be careful to give God all the glory and boast about how Jesus was working through him. This should be our aim, for Jesus to use us and that our lives would reflect him on a daily basis. Lord, give us the confidence we need in You!

  <description>Paul has taken on the difficult task of trying to unify the church in Rome which is made up of Gentiles and Jews, two sets of people who didn't like each other for hundreds of years who are now worshiping together. It seems they had asked him some opinions about some certain matters and he replied back pointing them toward Jesus and he mentions something specific toward the middle of the chapter...he prays that God, the source of hope, will fill them completely with joy and peace, then they will flow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. As we grow closer to Christ, may we have this confidence!

  <description>What has happened in your life that was so bad that you lost your confidence in God? We see this every day in a believer's life. Something bad happens and they get mad at God, blame God for what they are going through, they eventually withdraw from God until they completely shut Him out of their lives! Where does one go when they leave God? What's a better alternative? There's not one and that is what the author of Hebrews is trying to tell their audience who was in danger of missing heaven because they have lost their confidence in God! Persecution has come to them, some have been in jail, some beaten, some have lost all their possessions, and they are losing their confidence in God, in Jesus, so the author is encouraging them to take a look at the people of Israel that wondered in the wilderness for forty years...THEY DIDN'T GET IN! And he tells them if they walk away from Jesus, they won't either and neither will we! So again I ask you, what has happened in your life that has caused you to lose confidence in God?
