Developing Thought: "Created to move forward"

Getting ready to start a new series at church entitled "Moving Forward." We were created to move forward in life with incredible purpose. Anyone who has ever made their life count moved forward...but what if they didn't? What if Martin Luther King never moved forward in what he believed? What if Abraham Lincoln was stopped in his tracks after his first of many defeats? What if Michael Jordan gave up the day he was cut from his High School Basketball team. Think about the greatest causes, inventions, dreams, events, championships never taking place.

You might never invent anything, play for an NBA championship or even run for president but God has created you with ability to move forward despite fear, lack, or problem. Check this out...1 Samuel 17:34-35 say's But David said to Saul, "Your servant has been keeping his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, ³⁵ I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. What are you chasing today in life? Are you chasing a dream, chasing unused potential, chasing purpose? It might sound crazy to some, like chasing a lion but someone has to champion the idea of moving forward otherwise the greatest you will never be realized. Think about a Ferrari, cherry red, an engine that roars, but it's sitting on idle, potential is the exact same way. Move Forward
