The Law of the Pendulum
Do we really trust Jesus with everything? Do we trust in him to provide for our future? Do we trust him to protect us when we take risks on his behalf? When the rubber meets the road, do we trust him more than our fears?

What we can’t do is mix his kingdom and ours. Some things, like oil and water, don’t mix.
We help lead people to Jesus so he can “untwist” their lives, and we look forward to the day when everything will be made whole again.
Other people do give up on us when we mess up too much, but not God. His grace is immeasurable. His love surpasses understanding. He never runs out of blessing.
Jesus actually had the power to change the world around him. He could transform things for real.
If we don’t want to forget an appointment, we put it on our calendar. When we need to remember everything for vacation, we write a packing list. When we are trying to recall what happened last decade, we might look back at old pictures. So what do we do if we are having a hard time remembering God’s goodness?
We hang plaques on our wall, post on social media, and mention our accomplishments in nearly every conversation. We want the world to know just how great we really are. This is an issue of pride.
Many of us have adopted a superhero lifestyle. We can’t fly or lift heavy cars, but we love to wear masks.
