A little Red Bull for your soul.

The commercial says Red Bull gives you wings... I've never had one but I seriously doubt it. But I get the metaphor - Red Bull is supposed to pick you up and get your motor going when you feel worn out.

Did you know that you can get spiritually worn out too? There are times when you're just going on auto-pilot and you really need a pick up! I discovered my today while reading in Acts 13.

So here's some Red Bull for your soul! in verse 41 (Paul quotes from Habakkuk 1:5) where God says, "I am doing something in your day, something you wouldn't believe even if you were told about it." That just stirred my spirit! I'm believing that God is going to do something here at Real Life that we wouldn't have believed if someone had told us about it. We're seeing the signs of what is to come already. Lives are being changed and God's Spirit is moving among us! Hasn't there been a "different" feeling in worship lately? I think God may be getting ready to blow the roof off this place for His Glory!

But it gets even better! If one can of Red Bull is good - two is better right? verse 38 - "through this man, Jesus, there is forgiveness of YOUR sins, everyone who believes in Him is DECLARED right with God!" Isn't that amazing?!

In this world of performance - you have to do right, look right, talk right, walk right, think right, and out do everyone else there is this truth... Through Jesus there is forgiveness of YOUR sins. You can have freedom. You can have peace. You can have real life. Because everyone who believes in Jesus has been DECLARED right with God. You didn't have to earn it. You didn't have to talk, look, dress, walk, work just right - God declared you right.

Wow! forgiveness and righteousness by Jesus from God. better than a Red Bull.
