There is power in going the extra mile

If a soldier demands that you carry his gear for a mile, carry it two miles. Mathew 5:41.

There is power in going the extra mile. In Roman times a soldier could ask you to help him carry something for up to one mile, but God wants you to walk two. God wants us to go beyond what is required that will take you into the realm of blessing. When you go above and beyond what is expected, you will release favour into your life in ways you don't expect. Not many people are willing to walk the extra mile, but when you do others will see God's heart through your actions. You're blessing them in ways they don't expect that will change their attitude and heart towards you. Trust God as He prompts you to keep going and to be the blessing someone is not expecting. Praise God today that as we walk the extra mile, we'll see God's hand move in our life and in the lives of those we bless in ways we don't expect.
