We all have things in our lives that we have said won’t happen until pigs fly. Maybe it’s something we’ve been told at a very young age that we could never do or maybe it’s an addiction we have that we don’t think will ever be conquered. The fact is Jesus said that He would never leave us nor forsake us. When God says something, He’s going to follow through with what He says He’s going to do. So if He has promised to equip you with whatever you need to accomplish the impossible, you can trust that He will even make pigs fly if that’s what it takes.

Everyone has biological parents and we have all been given the command to honor them, whether or not they deserve it. This is the command that comes with the promise that we will live long with we honor our parents. Often times parents make mistakes, some small ones, some huge ones. Nevertheless, the command still stands, and to not honor them sets an example for your kids to follow to not honor you and it goes down from generation to generation. Even Jesus honored the Father while He was here on earth, and so in the same way we are to honor our parents, even if it is simply for the fact that they gave us life.

A reality of life is that sometimes things happen that stump us. It could be the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or just anything that leaves us asking God, “What are you doing?” Even people like John the Baptist and the disciples found themselves stumped sometimes. The best reaction to when we are stumped by something is to seek God for answers because He can take our questions. In this world there will be many moments where we find ourselves stumped, but when we enter eternity with Christ, He will make all things known to us, and so until then we take heart and keep pressing forward.

Paul wrote in his letter to the Philippians for them to imitate him because he modeled what it meant to follow Christ. He never said he was perfect, but he knew that he was at least a few steps ahead of them. In the same way, we are to find someone to follow who would be willing to be a mentor, a leader, while at the same time we are to lead someone else. That is where maturity comes in, by following someone who is more mature. Discipleship happens when we lead someone else, showing them what it looks like to follow Christ. That is when a legacy of life is left is when you lead someone in such a way to equip them to lead others
