God wants you to see your life as an epic adventure, as a grand story of good prevailing over evil, of an underdog coming back to beat the odds.

4. Do you have the faith to relentlessly follow the path
God has mapped out for YOU?

5. Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has
assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is
my rule in all the churches. Was anyone at the time of his
call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the
marks of circumcision. Was anyone at the time of his call
uncircumcised? Let him not seek circumcision. For neither
circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but
keeping the commandments of God. Each one should
remain in the condition in which he was called. Were you a
bondservant when called?

6. Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your
freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.) For he who
was called in the Lord as a bondservant is a freedman of
the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a
bondservant of Christ. You were bought with a price; do
not become bondservants of men. So, brothers, in
whatever condition each was called, there let him remain
with God.
- 1 Corinthians 7:17-24

9. It’s not what you do, it’s what you do with what you do.
You have an opportunity to do more good for eternity by
how you do your job than the actual job you have.

10. “Power is the tactic used by the incompetent to gain
status. Competence is the tool used by the morally
oriented to accrue authority and do good things in the
world.”

11. “In Palestine under Muslim rule, according to the
monumental history by Moshe Gil, ‘the Christians had
immense influence and positions of power, chiefly because
of the gifted administrators among them who occupied
government posts despite the ban in Muslim law against
employing Christians [in such positions] or who were part
of the intelligentsia of the period owing to the fact that
they were outstanding scientists, mathematicians,
physicians and so on.’”
