Was reminded of this story of GK Chesterton, a well known Christian author of the early 1900’s. The London Times sent out a questionnaire to a bunch of authors asking “What is wrong with the world?” and Chesterton replied with a one sentence essay, “Dear Sirs, I am.” In times like what we’re seeing nationally right now I think its good for us to practice the same self awareness and humility that he did. Not to say that we shouldn’t hold others, especially those with power, accountable for their actions, but before we make judgments, condemnations or conclusions about someone or something, lets all remember Jesus’ rebuke towards our tendency to attack the sawdust in our brothers’ eyes and ignore the plank in our own

In Philippians chapter 1 Paul is writing from prison but still having an attitude of thankfulness and encouragement. Even in the midst of obvious trials, he still didn’t loose sight of what God wanted him to do and was thankful for the people he had to partner with him. May we have that attitude and thank God for the people He has put in our lives to partner with us.
MOLESKIN:
Pray for all the guys at the Mend House. One of their room mates died from an overdose last week. Pray for their recovery.

Recycled my word from Saturday at the Big Ball. Talked about how in Jeremiah 29 God tells the Israelites, before being taken into slavery by the Babylonians, to build houses, plant gardens, eat of their fruit, get married, and pray on behalf of the city you’re being taken to. So essentially, instead of sitting around and waiting for liberation, God told His people to live well in captivity while also looking forward to freedom. With this quarantine I’ve done the exact opposite. I’ve sat around and moped and waited until things get better rather than tried to make the most of the season the Lord has us in. So my encouragement for us this morning was, even though we’re transitioning back to normal slowly, to be thinking of how we can live well right now in quarantine rather than sit around and just wait for things to be better
