Mighty

His heart was surrendered to God.

“So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.”

It’s All Just Stuff

That’s not success.

“‘Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,’ says the Lord.”
- Jeremiah 9:23-24 NKJV

He Was Forgetting Something

That’s where you want to be.

It’s time to make a stand.

She Was Exhibit A

She was an odious character.

 

“His mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.”

Achilles’ Heel

God is able to keep you.
