Who do we serve?

Yesterday the message I heard was from Isaiah 58. God is calling out the Israelites, through Isaiah, to examine their faith. Are they serving Him or are they serving themselves?

Verses 10-12 say this…
“if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.
And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in.”

Isn’t this true for God’s people today too? When we set Him aside and seek out what we think is best for us, things don’t turn out so well. When we go outside of ourselves and put the focus on Him and others, He brings about the greatest blessings for everyone, us included.

In many ways this group (F3) is called to repair and restore. Our mission is a call to seek out the weak, lonely, hungry, wandering, and broken. We are a light in the gloom. Invigoration is defined as giving life or energy to. That is what we do. I just passed my 3 year anniversary, on April 5, 2021. I became part of this special group right here. I’m very thankful for so many and the sacrifices you all make to come out, do what’s hard and lead and encourage others along the way. Of course, the blessings we receive from this group, or any group can vary, depending on WHO we are doing it for.

So, when you leave here today, think about who you serve and why. It doesn’t have to be something grand, but what does it look like for you to pour yourself out for others this week?

– Starting at the statue we worked up the ladder. Each parking space (about 20) had an exercise written on a card. Run to the card do 10x of what the card says and run back to Jesus. At Jesus do 3 burpees. We did that for a round and flipped the cards over for the second round and did it again.

COT:
The Master’s was this weekend. I had a couple quotes to share.

“It’s difficult to excel at something you don’t truly enjoy.” – Jack Nicklaus

“Pursue what you love, what you are passionate about. Don’t let somebody else dictate your life’s path.” – Jack Nicklaus

After winning the 2022 Master’s Scottie Scheffler said,” It all goes back to my faith. The reason why I play golf it to glorify God and all that he’s done in my life and so for me my identity isn’t a golf score. All I am trying to do is glorify God and that’s why I’m in this position, so for me, it’s not about a golf score.”
