Pull up: The reboot of grace. CONTROL-ALT-DELETE. It is impossible to measure or compare in value to the gentleness, humility and grace of our Lord Jesus, 2 Corinthians 12:9.
CONTROL: Proverbs 25:28, no wall no protection. Without self-control, you are left open and vulnerable.
ALT (Altar): Jeremiah 29:12-13, one-on-one time. Whereupon you come to your frequently used place intentionally looking for God of the Promises in prayer, praise, seeking peace.
DELETE: Ecclesiastes 3:6, let go. This does not mean forgetting, it is willingness to receive the unrevealed, open-minded to change in full trust.

There is no way any of us can ever share grace to others in our own strength. Christ endured the Cross so we may have the grace found only in Him, that is more than enough for us. Spiritually restart and rebuild oneness, Romans 12:2. It is about this moment. What can you do to avoid slipping into "old" familiar behaviors? When is faithfulness difficult?

Pull in: Redefining expectations. "Set a goal that makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning." It's crazy how in your mind, you jump up out of a chair, but your body needs more time to catch up. Shockwave! Thank You Lord for the kind of purpose beyond omega-3, achy joints, less elasticity, dark spots, gray hair, falling arches, in the face of full wrinkles, crow's feet and any other aging processes, You still use me, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. I believe, remain diligent, and determined to "do" more for You, Psalms 92:14-15. "You are never too old to set another goal or dream." (Joel 2:28-32) Your maturity equips you to better define your dreams. Maintain passion and mindset ... AT EVERY AGE. What is Christian maturity? In this life's Season, have you pursued your functional spiritual identity in the Word of God?

Pull up: Options for opportunity. People create Avatar images on Facebook, Teams, internet forums, social media, etc. for the world to see that is is so realistic to their own likeness. Daily you have the option to bring God to the world in new ways in your life, your work, and your relationships, Romans1:16. Whatever you are in a relationship with, you are also related to and reproduce it, Genesis1:24. Unceasingly Jesus intercede that your faith will not fail. “When opportunity presents itself, don't be afraid to go after it.” "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." (Romans 1:17) God can and will use all your experiences. Interestingly, we carefully hide our struggles and proudly broadcast our victories. The world will never give us peace, satisfaction or see Jesus without you, Matthew 20:26-28. Lord, make me an image of Your likeness for the world to see. Project a non computer-generated image. What does it mean to live by faith? How do you respond to God in faith?

Pull up: Put one foot in front of the other. Real relationship with God is His true desire. Going against our fleshly desires, is an actual struggle. If were easy maybe everybody would do it. "When everything seemes to be going against you, remember the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it." Practice letting the way you live, your actions be directed by God's Spirit. Keep in step with God's Spirit, Galatians 5:16. Our Savior asks us to take two steps: repentance and believe in Him. Ask the Lord's help to live your life that depends on His Spirit's power and daily guidance. Look for, head for and live with Christ in the light of His love. Partner with the Lord in faith ... that close. Time, attention and love. Walk it out. When you go with the majority, do you find yourself compromising your beliefs in any way? In what ways? Will your "old ways" open "new" doors?
