🙌It's the Friday Call to Worship!🙌

We pray for our children to know their identities in Christ every single night. We cannot predict the twists and turns of life or understand the ways of the world. But they can withstand it all if they know who they are and Whose they are. We teach them Bible stories so they have testimonies to stand on when the waters start to rise.

The Israelites were caught between an army and an ocean, yet they walked through the depths on dry feet. Jonah was sinking to the bottom of the sea, so God prepared a whale to scoop him up and put his feet back on dry ground. Peter jumped out of a boat to get to Jesus, and his feet stayed on top of the water. When he lost sight and started to go down, holy hands lifted him back to the surface.

Where are you standing today? Are you between battles or facing your biggest yet? Are you on your way down to the bottom of the sea? Or so hungry for Jesus, you're like Peter and ready to jump out of your safety zone for him?

Where you are standing, physically, mentally, emotionally and beyond, doesn't have nearly as deep an impact eternally as what you are standing IN. God's DNA becomes ours as we stand in His love. A redeemed, love-drenched, cellular recoding of grace becomes who you are, wherever you are. You start to believe that you, yes you... today's just as you are you... are so loved by God that He gave His one and only Son so that you could have eternal life. (From John 3:16)

Where is your identity rooted? Where does your help come from?

Listen to Josh Baldwin's "Stand In Your Love" today. As you worship, remember that the one, unchangeable circumstance of your life is that you are standing IN His love. You cannot escape it, and your fear doesn't stand a chance there.
