    The world tries to define you, but you do not fit in a box. You fit In Christ. Resemble the world, choose its idols, or pivot, repent, turn to and follow Christ. We all have a breakthrough moment. A moment when we must choose to perservere in faith believing God will lift us in His perfect timing, or rush forward in our own strength and limited knowledge. Do I trust God or man? Do I wait on God or do I forcefully push open a door He closed and shut years ago. A door sent to protect me, guide me, rescue me from myself and limited knowledge of eternal things. A door that diverted me towards the narrow path of righteousness for His namesake. I choose faith over fear. I choose joy, peace, and to endure in Him until the day He brings me out of my Egypt, my wilderness. The breakthrough comes when you realize you are all God says you are, and you Fight the good Fight of Faith, breaking into the Truth of His guided, spoken beautiful creative Words of purpose and promise. Today, I take back what the enemy stole from me. My identity in Christ. I am all God says I am. I am victorious in Christ Jesus. Today, I entered the Promised Land. Abundant life In Christ Jesus. A new creature In Him. Glory be to Jesus! Tammy Toney-Butler

    PEOPLE-PLEASING Do you constantly worry about what others may be thinking about you? Do you refrain from doing things because others may not approve? Do you tend to replay criticisms over and over in your head? Here is a profound thought for those like me who deal with people-pleasing tendencies at times … JESUS DISAPPOINTED JUST ABOUT EVERYONE. Trying to please people is not the Jesus way. In fact, if you follow Jesus you are guaranteed to offend a few Pharisees and people along life’s journey. If our aim is to people-please we end up not pleasing God. If we aim at pleasing God, we will best serve people. Galatians 1:10 says, “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Let us align God in His proper place. It is like getting the top button of a shirt wrong … you get that one wrong and all the others are off; but, if you get that one right all the others line up. When God is not in His rightful place the rest of the buttons of our lives are not aligned. Let us live for an audience of ONE. #peoplepleasing

    His Plan Is Better Thinking back over my life, I wonder how many times I have blamed God for the collapse of a dream, but when the dream was dusted for fingerprints, mine were all over it. Henry Blackaby said, “If you start something and it does not seem to go well, consider carefully that God, on purpose, may not be authenticating what you told the people because it did not come from Him, but from your own head. You may have wanted to do something outstanding for God and forgot that God does not want that. He wants you to be available to him and, more important, to be obedient to him.” I remember one time when I spent months producing a major strategic planning initiative for my life and ministry. I presented the vision to others, and they unanimously liked “my plan.” To be honest, the plan I put together was so well done that even I was impressed. I am convinced, however, that the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) took a questioning look at “Michael’s plan.” The old saying is that when we make our plans God laughs. I imagine the Father might have said to the Son, “Jesus, have you seen Michael’s plan?” I think they started laughing, and the Son said to the Holy Spirit, “Michael thinks he’s going to accomplish something through HIS plan!” Then they all broke out in belly laughs. I envision the Holy Spirit saying to the Father, “I think we can do better. In fact, I think Michael can do better... if he is willing to go along with our plans, something bigger and longer lasting will take place.” It is not wrong to plan but wrong to plan without God. God blew away “my plan” and provided a better plan. His plan accomplished what my plan could never accomplish. The truth is His plans are always better than our plans, even when they are hard. G.K. Chesterton said it this way: “How much happier you would be, how much more of you there would be, if the hammer of a higher God could smash your small cosmos.” The Bible is packed with stories of situations beyond someone’s ability to manage, situations in which people were forced to embrace or abandon God’s plan. A.W. Tozer wrote, “It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.” Deep stuff, but true. Dr. Alan Redpath said, “When God wants to do an impossible task, He takes an impossible individual and crushes him.” God will root out escapism, sarcasm, arrogance, turf protection, or self-pity. To accomplish it, He strikes fatal blows to the heart of “me.” On a daily basis He makes a clarion call to funerals. Paul said, “I die daily,” with the result being the matchless adventure of life in Jesus. God is simply not in the business of calling perfect, self-actualized, got-it-all-together people. God works best when you are not wholly abandoned to impacting your world, but wholly abandoned to God. Jesus said, “If you save your life, you’ll lose it, but if you lose your life for my sake and the gospel, you’ll find it.”

    FEARFUL? I am convinced fear-making is a cottage industry in our country. It’s so stinking effective. Think Fund-raising. Think manipulation. Think groupthink and control. Think conspiracy theories. Fear paralyzes, erodes faith and leaves us in bad places emotionally. Fear is usually the loudest voice in the room. Fear always grabs the megaphone. Even in faith circles, there are professional crisis peddlers. They intentionally or unintentionally send out mixed massages where fear sometimes becomes the default public face of our movement. Our living hope, which is at the core of the gospel, gets drowned out by doom-and-gloom prognosticating. Might this be why so many in our tribe are sour, sore and scared? Fear comes after all who have a heart to honor God. I was reading about Elijah today. What a man of God. He served during a time that a man and woman had a great political alliance that produced fear and intimidation to promote unbiblical values. This power couple gave lip service to spirituality but promoted perversion. Their names were Ahab and Jezebel. Queen Jezebel got the word out through every media market there was a price on Elijah’s head. The message was LOUD and clear. Fear consumed Elijah. That’s right… FEAR. He fled, he forgot who God was, he played woulda, coulda, shoulda and he wanted to die. God graciously restored Elijah spiritually, physically, relationally and in his callings. You can read about it in 1 Kings 19. My take-aways on fear: 1. The Spirit of Jezebel is still around today. Be discerning. 2. Fear is usually the loudest voice in the room. 3. I need to tune my ear to the ONE with the still small voice… every day. 4. Exhaustion and mismanaged expectations can make cowards of the best of us. 5. God has not given me a spirit of fear but of love, power and sound mind. 6. I will not be driven by fear even if it is coming from my own sub-culture. 7. There are legitimate concerns but fear only produces unhealthy responses. 8. The Kingdom of God is unstoppable. 9. The good news is I get to decide who gets the megaphone to my heart. Do not let the negative and false voices have the megaphone. 10. Stand strong my friends. God had not given us a spirit of fear but of love, power and a strong mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
