You're the One

I got a great message from God yesterday. It came through Pastor Michael Henderson of New Beginnings Church in Matthews, NC. If you're ever in the Charlotte area, swing by and say hello. God definitely dwells there. 

Anyway, the message was about David (1 Samuel 16) and how he was rejected by his family when God chose him to be the next king. David was an outcast, he was different, he was alone, and perhaps weird by some. But God -- God would eventually use David in a mighty way. 
 
When Samuel, the priest and prophet went to David's house to anoint the next king, all of David's 8 tall and handsome brothers came in one by one thinking they would be the chosen one, but God rejected all of them and chose short ruddy outcast David. David was the one -- the next future king -- the powerful leader of God's people. 
 
God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34) and He will use who He chooses whenever He chooses. Case closed. The timely message sent by God to Pastor Henderson was another reminder of how God exalts, elevates, and promotes the rejected, cast aside, and overlooked. It doesn't matter what one looks like or what they've done, God knows what is best and His ways are perfect. 
 
I don't know about you, but I needed to hear those words from God and I wanted to tell you about the message just in case you needed to hear them too. And to think I almost missed the service yesterday. The way I almost missed it has never happened before. Ever. Yet nothing can stop what God wants to get to us, right? The Lord said, 'not so, Sharon is going to hear this today.' I'm glad I made it, because the message was further confirmation about what God was going to do in my life. I hope it also confirms something you need, as well.

So, whether we're feeling anything like David was, God says you and I matter. And He has already chosen the ones He is going to use to make an impact in this world. He wants more people who are willing to be used. He wants more people who will stay with Him no matter what.
 
He wants more people to which He can say, you're the one.

Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa...

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
