What Would MacGyver Do?

When you are feeling powerless and circumstances are taking control of your life, it is sometimes helpful to ask yourself this question: What Would MacGyver Do? MacGyver was a show inrepparttar 123316 80’s starring Richard Dean Anderson. Called only by his last name and placed inrepparttar 123317 most precarious and unenviable situations, MacGyver wasrepparttar 123318 absolute epitome of resourcefulness. Combined with his training and knowledge, he was somehow able to convert ordinary items into extraordinary tools to get him out of any cliffhanging situation. MacGyver would apply his magical blend of creativity and applied science and triumph asrepparttar 123319 poor man’s James Bond.

Our Gift

Written by Joyce C. Lock


If you knew you were going to stand before God, today (not in judgment, but meeting your very best friend) ... is there a gift you would like to present Him with? Do you plan to meet Him empty handed? Maybe you have a gift for God already. Perhaps, you never thought about it and would like to. What would berepparttar truest statement of your love? What type of service are you passionate about? Findrepparttar 123301 answer. Then, head in that direction. And if you still do not know, walk inrepparttar 123302 direction your heart leads and God will take you there. It does not matter if God calls you to little or a lot. (Faithful is He who calls you, who also will do it. Letrepparttar 123303 weak say, "I am strong,"repparttar 123304 most necessary part. He meant it!) What brings inner completeness is serving inrepparttar 123305 center of God's perfect will (Lu. 12:50), wherein there is joy in that He empowers us to do so much more.

Consider His promise ... "And every one that hath forsaken houses (churches), or brethren (religion), or sisters (family), or father (leader), or mother (counselor), or wife (soul mate), or children (followers), or lands (positions), for my name's sake (when He calls you), shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life."
