Read an excerpt from My Utmost for His Highest Shallow and Profound

“Beware of allowing yourself to think that the shallow aspects of life are not ordained by God; they are ordained by Him equally as much as the profound. We sometimes refuse to be shallow, not out of our deep devotion to God but because we wish to impress other people with the fact that we are not shallow. This is a sure sign of spiritual pride.” -Oswald Chambers

Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. —1 Corinthians 10:31

Often times I let the fear of sounding shallow or not having something “enlightened” to say stand in the way of sharing or entering into discussions in many of the circles I am apart of. These excerpts from Oswald Chambers challenged me deeply and made me realize that no matter how shallow I think something is, When I feel led to share or to start a conversation it is more than likely ordained by the Spirit and to not engage is out of fear (or out of pride). 

What fruit are we not seeing in our lives because we are holding back for fear of being seen as shallow?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Reflecting on the battle of Thermopylae and brave Spartans that stood in the gap to fend off the fierce Persian army.  Encouraged the PAX to consider their battles and importance of being prepared for the spiritual warfare going on around them.  Whether it is the battle for integrity when alone in front of a computer or the need for battle on our knees for our families and community, God’s Word and Prayer are our best weapons.  The battle is coming, so we must be ready to fight.

Proverbs 27:17 “Iron sharpens iron”… F3 is a great training ground to prepare for the frontline battles we will definitely face.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Prayer. I felt called to exercise my communication with God today. I’m great at praying with my family at the dinner table and with my kids at night before bed. During the day I tend to put God on mute and I always kick myself for not praying more. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18NET

16 Always rejoice, 17 constantly pray, 18 in everything give thanks. For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
