Walking in HIS gifts - a call to humility

Backstory: king Nebuchadnezzar believes he has built a large kingdom, by his power and his doing. He even sets up a golden statue of himself to be worshipped.

Then he has a disturbing dream
About a tree 🌲 being trimmed by an
Angel down to its stump and roots. Daniel interprets that dream for the King telling him that dream is about him and his kingdom.

Verse: “You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox and be drenched with the dew of heaven. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.”
‭‭Daniel‬ ‭4‬:‭25‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Key takeaways:
- the most high is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth
- He gives them to anyone HE WISHES

What should our response be:
- humble ourselves: the gifts we have, are from God. The success we have had using our gifts is from God
- God can give gifts and “kingdoms” to anyone he wishes, we are not “special” per say, but it’s an honor to be used by God
- At any moment, all we have can be taken away. Don’t hold what we have too tightly. God is good, just, and sovereign so anything that happens to us ultimately passes through Gods hands and we should trust that, no matter how difficult. Much like Nebuchadnezzar, when he lost his kingdom

Prayer: God, thank you for the gifts you have given me. I know they come from you. Show me how to develop them more to glorify you. Help me not to hold what I have too tightly, and realize that I am being used by you, I have not built what I have, but you have built what I have through me. Thank you God.

Happy 30th GOLDEN birthday I love you so much. There is no other human like you on the planet. The way you do this thing called life is beautiful. I am just glad I get to do it with you. Thank you God for choosing me to be your husband. Love you Kailee.

Glad God could use me

Great to be with last week. Sometimes what we are capable of is buried beneath self-imposed limits. I believe these guys have been planted for a huge calling beyond what anyone can see right now, even themselves. I know greatness is around the corner for them, it’s on the other side of the hardest thing they have ever done in their lives; a 2-year sobriety program. I challenged these men not to just get clean, but to find their calling.

Thankful for the opportunity to serve!

Praise God!

The devil relies on deception. Don’t let tough times or circumstances allow yourself to question the original conviction God gave you. Things may not look the way you want right now, but that’s not the point. They look the way God needs them for His greater glory. Endure, don’t look back! 🙏 comment below if this one was for you

In the lab with Gateway Pointe Elementary staff this am. Listen to this, what if we MODELED what we wanted out of those we are stewarding! I was blessed to spend time with my pitching coach in college, Todd Oakes. Todd modeled everything that he wanted us to do. So my question to you today is, would you give your self-talk, habits, etc to those you are guiding at home and at work? If not, those are the things that need to be elevated. You can fulfill your full potential but it requires you to look deeper at your level of preparation and make different moves.

You got this

Thank you to Kaity Harris and the Gateway Pointe Staff for having me! It was an honor to speak! Excited for the rest of the year

We will chase and climb worldly mountains over and over again. Seeking higher mountains, and different mountains for years of our lives (Like I did). But God is waiting for us to accept the mountain he has set aside for us that only we can climb. Some are bumpy, some are snowy, some are a straight shot with a narrow trail, but in the end it’s our mountain he is asking us to climb. Imagine, always being on the wrong road trying to get home. That’s life without God, seeking the fulfillment only God can supply, but trying multiple routes to get there. God has special mountains and paths reserved for us, but we have to allow him to show us where it is. Sometimes it’s hidden right in front of our faces until we realize life is all about whose I am, how I operate, and how I treat others, it’s really not about the “perfect” mountain at all. It’s about climbing the one God has for you no matter what it looks like. Calling out to God for help, seeking and asking him about the right path, and always clinging to him no matter how many times you fall. I believe in all of you. Go climb the Godly mountain that only you can climb.

Your brotha,
Lance

The greatest lie: I’ll just accumulate more, then I’ll be happy

Wherever your treasure is, there your heart will be also

- from a man whose worthiness used to bridged by a ball

It takes work to constantly have this heart posture, but if we can do this more often than not, we will sow into those who need it. Let’s go

nobody does this “Mom thing” quite like you do.

I am inspired every day by the way you parent

I am constantly praising God for who you are becoming each and every day as a mom

I am proud of you for how much time you put into being a mom. You are constantly studying and growing to be better

I am blessed to have someone like you making sure our home is in order

I am confident when I say you are flat out making it happen each day

I am not going to be shocked when we look up in 10-15 years and see how much our children love you, even more than they do now

Happy Mother’s Day Kailee. I love you ❤️ there is no one like you ❤️

Praying for you, always 🙏

Great day behind the bars.

Biggest takeaway: they are just kids, yes they have felonies, but still kids. Bad decisions, environments, home life’s, all of that is going on.

But worthy, and capable of being world changers. I saw a bunch of miracles today.

Disclaimer, certain careers pay 💰 more money, while others store up more TREASURES in heaven. What you may not have here on earth, you will have in heaven. What others have here, they won’t in heaven.

Store up the right treasures
Think about heavenly success

It’s not wrong to have stuff
It’s not right to have stuff

I don’t have a firm opinion on that, but I do have a firm opinion on how you steward your gifts, how you steward your money, and how you steward your time. At the end of the day it’s all Gods anyway. YOU will answer how you spent what was given to you.

To sum it all up, we don’t really see what is beyond the screen sometimes. What looks lavish on the outside may be coming from an insecure and lustful heart on the inside (side note, that can even be “ministry work” not just fancy houses and cars)

Let’s focus on our own treasures and our own heart, what consumes your mind is what your heart is full of. Been learning a lot about that lately. Praise God

What comes out of you, is what’s within you. Ouch 🤕

Let’s focus more on what we should treasure (Jesus) and how he needs us to operate with what he has given us, and focus less on what others external world may look like

If you read this far, share this and comment below your takeaway. Let me know if this triggered you personally. I know I’ve been learning a few things lately.

Because of an Unfortunate cancellation today at a local school I’ll be at Speckles park at 2:30pm delivering a message. Been beyond grateful for the support I’ve received from the local community who want what I deliver. I won’t be stopped to impact this next generation. Excited to make a difference. See you there!!!

”He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.”“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Comment “He is risen” and share this post for all to see the reason for Easter.

Hallelujah

Thank you Jesus.
