God wants you to thrive, not just survive

Monday Message

What does thriving look like to you? Did you know we were meant to thrive, not just
survive?

​Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes
United. We’re so glad you stopped by. 

How do I amplify
The microphone inside
That invisible telephone line
With all that I need
Waiting for me
On the other side
Of that disconnected line?

I don’t want to just be
I don’t want to just breathe
I was not made to just survive
I was made to fight

and there is a lion inside
Caged up
Because the wrong voices
And fleshly choices
For so long have been amplified
and here I am scraping up the pieces just to get by

Yet, the wind still blows
and the stars still show
All the glory
He has bestowed

So, I wonder
Where is my edge?
and where do I even begin
To fathom
Or comprehend
This new way to live?

Then He softly answers
Through that phone I thought was dead
Darling, this is just the beginning
For I am writing a story
With a whole new ending

If it’s knowledge you seek
Seek Me
Is it’s wisdom you need
Just Breathe
and there you will find
That hidden inner peace

A piece of Me
That will never leave
Interwoven
Into your every cell
Your every gene

I have never left
and I will never forget
The beauty of your gift
This life you live
Someday soon will be more than just a fingerprint
But instead a glorious moment
Where you showed the world

How to let your Lion live

Roar My darling
and never forget
I am not just a phone call away
I am in interwoven into your everything

“For this world’s wisdom is foolishness (absurdity and stupidity) with God, for it is written, He lays hold of the wise in their [own] craftiness; And again, The Lord knows the thoughts and reasonings of the [humanly] wise and recognizes how futile they are. So let no one exult proudly concerning men [boasting of having this or that man as a leader], for all things are yours, Whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas (Peter), or the universe or life or death, or the immediate and threatening present or the [subsequent and uncertain] future—all are yours, And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.”
- 1 Corinthians 3:19-23
