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. en-us episodic We at GRINDIT want to encourage people to keep going, to keep grinding, when life gets hard. Quitting is not an option!

Did he just pick places and go? Did he get direction from the Holy Spirit? Did Jesus tell him where to go? They only thing we know is where Paul got a vision where a guy says, “Come over here and help us!” and he immediately goes to Macedonia. But Macedonia is a huge region, not a particular city so then, why does Paul go to Philippi? Because Philippi is the leading city of Macedonia...things are happening in that city and that is why Paul chooses it. Paul plans ahead, sets goals, and moves toward those goals. He doesn’t wait around on God to give him direction. He chooses a place and goes, however, when he is on the way and the Spirit has different plans, he listens and is obedient.</p> direction, lead, guide, guidance, plans, goals, obedience, obedient, obey How did Paul know where to go when he was traveling around sharing Jesus?

The context of this passage is how people think they are in control, they have stepped in God’s role thinking they have power to control people and situations when we actually have nothing. It is good to make plans but the bottom line is, if God didn’t allow to carry out those plans, we couldn’t. Therefore, it is God who is in control, not us; He sees the heart and the true motives of a person, not us, therefore God is the only One qualified to be Judge...not us. What we can control is how we respond to the law, or how God wants us to live. We can only control us, what we listen to, what we allow in, how we respond to people and things. So, worry about what you can control and that is YOU! Allow God to take care of everything else.</p> control, sovereign, sovereignty, free will, choice, choices, goals, plans, plan Many people take what James says out of context and say we shouldn’t make plans and set goals but that is not what James is saying at all!
