Today’s Takeaway.
*Here’s something to chew on. Remember, success has a moral and a missional component. It’s not just about finding out what we’re “to do”, but who we’re “to be.” As followers of Christ, we are to be like Jesus and the more we are like in our being, the more we will impact others through our missional “doing.”

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1-3).
