COT:
Chadd Wright, 3of7 Podcast, said:
“I hiked the Grand Canyon today. If you have t done it yet, you should…..as soon as possible. I have been many places and have never seen anything like it in terms of landscape. I told my wife, during our hike, ‘I can’t believe we waited this long to do this.’ It’s inexcusable. It made me think of how much we leave on the table in life. How often we pass on the opportunity to create amazing memories….because we’re busy doing things that don’t really matter. Soon enough, it’ll be too late.

Don’t leave life on the table. Bring Glory to God in everything we do. Make memories, because things fail and pass away, but memories last a lifetime. And especially, don’t wait, life is but a vapor, and the days are long but the years are short.

COT: Mental Toughness

1. Mental toughness is when you can find fuel in an empty tank.” – Unknown
2. “The true measure of a man is not how he behaves when things are going well, but how he responds when faced with adversity.” – Unknown
3. “It’s not the load that breaks you, it’s the way you carry it.” – Lou Holtz

These quotes emphasize the importance of resilience, persistence, and the ability to remain strong under pressure. Mental toughness is often about how you respond to challenges, not avoiding them.

COT:
Pride ( Notes from church last night, thanks Mouthwash)
Pride is often a blindspot.
1 Peter 5:5 God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Pride started with the fall of Lucifer. He wanted to be like God and was cast down from heaven.
The devil tempered Adam and Eve with pride, you can be like God.
Pride is thinking too highly of our selves. Our culture encourages the opposite.
“Humility is honestly assessing ourselves in light of God’s holiness and our sinfulness” – CJ Mahaney
When we aren’t thinking of those two, His holiness and our sinfulness, we start becoming proud.
Perspective – who are we comparing ourselves with, others or God.
The cross of Christ is the only thing to bridge the gap of his holiness and our sinfulness
The fruit of pride is when we reject the authority that God has placed over us.
A way for us to grow in humility is to understand who God is more – read our words, study the attributes. When we see God it enables us to have a better assessment of ourselves.
*I’ll add the diagram in comments

Being with God vs Doing for God

Story of Mary and Martha Luke 10:38-42

– “While Marthas hospitality is to be commended, her being with Jesus is not sufficient to sustain her doing for Jesus. How are you balancing your being with God and Doing for God?
– “The active life in the world for God can only properly flow from a deep inner life with God.” When we integrate both being and doing it makes the spiritual life full and joyful.”

– As we draw near to God the more he will draw near to us. James 4:8
– “you make known to me the paths of righteousness and in your presence there is fullness of joy.” psalm 16:11
– “For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

COT: How do you view God? Father, Lord, Judge, Master?
Seeing God as Father:
Play, child of God, there is joy despite the circumstances because just like a child, the burden is the Father’s. Play, be joyful, embrace the adventure, go to your Father with the troubles of this world, He will lead you and guide you along the narrow path.

“At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬-‭30‬ ‭ESV‬‬
