Hebrews 11:13-16
New International Version (NIV)
13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

Charles Lee shared on what it means to live a catalytical life. Nobody wants to just live the status quo - we want our lives to be meaningful. In the Bible, David was such a man, and also surrounded by men that brought about change for the Israelites. What they all had in common was their origins as misfits - they were distressed, indebted, discontented people. But despite their circumstances, they had the same outlook - they wanted their actions to affect eternity. God often uses unlikely misfits to do his greatest works. As God’s misfits, we need to come to terms with who we are, embrace our lives and identity in Christ and choose to live forward. As we evaluate life through the lens of eternity, we learn to work not just as leaders but also under submission or duress.
