King Saul was chosen, anointed, and called to lead a nation—yet he struggled to believe what God believed about him. This powerful reflection explores why thinking little of yourself is not humility, how small thinking erodes destiny, and how God calls you to step forward in faith because your promotion is already in motion.
Your setback is not the end of your story—it may be the very setup God is using for your comeback. First preached in 2014 at Angelus Temple with Pastor Matthew Barnett, this message has been the most-read post on my blog year after year for over a decade. If you’re in a season of challenge, I believe this word will bless you and strengthen your faith.
Yesterday, standing on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, I shared a short devotional on the last words Jesus ever spoke from this very place. If you want to know what matters most to a person, listen to what they say last—and Jesus was no different. I pray these words will encourage you and strengthen the calling God has placed on your life!
