“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff— they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NRSV‬‬https://bible.com/bible/2016/psa.23.5-6.NRSV

COT: Taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
Psalm 34:8
I doubt any of your will remember what I say today much past the first cup of coffee. And that’s cool – but God promises that His words don’t return void. If you want your words to have impact speak scripture
Isaiah 55: 11 So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I propose, and shall succeed in the ting for which I sent it.
To speak His word, you need to know it. Memorize it.
This week, a friend from IL thanked me for what God taught him through me in the verse above.
That once you taste and see the Goodness of Jesus, it leaves you satisfied AND longing for me. No regret, no pain, and blessed but longing for deeper relationship with Him!

COT: Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.1 Corinthians 10:12

Tucker Blakely, 29 years old. Killed in the line of duty. News says Matthew Rose got in a domestic fight with his wife, cops get called, he shoots Officer Blakely, gets killed himself. 5 yr old son left fatherless.
Tragic. Close to home and it should wake us up.
This was no accident. Accident is tripping on the sidewalk or falling at soccer and needing stitches.
There are 2 ditches we can fall in as we process this.
1: It will never happen to me 2: Thinking there is nothing we can do to prevent it… a 3rd would be ignoring it.
Don’t think that you are above accountability, needing some guardrails or that we can go alone.
Speculation, but Matthew didn’t get there overnight – this wasn’t the first fight or outburst.
Don’t think you can just have a pet “socially acceptable” secret sin.
Take heed; know your own brokenness; share that with a Brother
Invite a neighbor to F3, to your church, to your backyard – and love them enough to tell them hard truths.
let yourself feel sad about this but don’t stop there. be a HIM to someone who needs it.
But Jesus doesn’t call us to live in fear of “an accident” He walks with us through temptation
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV

COT: Windshield and the rear view mirror. Spend more time focused on future instead of worrying about passed. “Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

What if there was nothing remarkable about you EXCEPT…except for your faith?
You didn’t go to a fancy college, maybe you didn’t even graduate high school.
Your job, well, it only pays for your daily bread. Retirement…you are going to work the rest of your life
Sports, you are the kid that they pick last.
You’re ugly, your spouse is ugly, even your dog is ugly

What if there was nothing remarkable about you…except for your faith?
Are you the person people come to with their Bible questions or ask for your prayers on their behalf?
Maybe you pause a conversation with a church friend or a family member to chase down a visitor before they sneak out.
Maybe you’re the type to spend a couple of hours in the parking lot with a brother or sister who just needs to get something off of their chest.
Perhaps you are the one who serves without being asked. You recognize a need and you take care of it because you know how hard it is for some people to accept help.
What if there was nothing remarkable about you…except for your faith?
