I have been speaking at alot of different fall retreats lately and God has really been doing a special thing within the context of those gatherings. Why does it take a retreat, camp, convention for us to see things we dont usually see? Answer: Because we take time to see them. The hard reality is that each of us have SO MUCH on our plates that we do not see them. Then when we do, it's WAY out of control and seems insurmountable. We say to ourselves, "there is no way I can get back to where I was!" and then ultimately give up on trying. Point goes to Satan.
He doesn't always want to destroy you. If he can just limit you to believing in only yourself (instead of God) he wins. He has what I heard a pastor call A Weapon of Mass Distraction. If He can just keep your focus on something else, you never have 'time' to look in a mirror.
Today, I challenge you to look at yourself deliberately and explicitly to see what He is calling you to bring to the table.
Whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. —Romans 8:29
