COT: All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word. Isaiah 66:2 ESV

– F3 focus on leadership
– But not just to lead or be great
– But to do Great things for God
– To fail at that: Think of yourself more highly than you ought
Read King Uzziah. Great for God, but “he was strong, he grew proud, to his destruction.”
– To be useful for God, have a humble heart
– Don’t think less of yourself, think of yourself less; think of others more.
– Be a great Friend: Be a 2AM friend. Be a better friend and get more of them as we age.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Polar plunge on New Year’s

COT:
In considering resolutions for the new year, there are many noble things that we can resolve to do better. Time management is one of those things. There can be a lot said about time. King Solomon said there is a time for everything (Ecclesiastes 3). We often hear the phrase “time is money” because our time is valuable. What I wanted to share today is that our time is limited. I was thinking about how much time we spend doing the various things in our lives. How much time do we spend working, exercising, teaching, playing, praying, and worshipping? All of these are good things to spend our time on. We must work to take care of our families. We should exercise to take care of the bodies we are blessed with. We must teach our children how to live. We need time to relax and have fun. We need time in prayer to God. We need time to worship God and encourage each other when we gather together. However, do we spend any of our time on fruitless things? Do we waste our time in front of screens? Do we waste extra time at the office when it could wait until tomorrow? Do we spend too much time being lazy on the weekends? James 4:14 impresses on us that our life is as a vapor that only appears for a little while.
James 4:13-17 NASB1995
[13] Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” [14] Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. [15] Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.” [16] But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil. [17] Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.”
We need to be mindful of how we spend our time because we don’t have an endless supply.

A walk in the not rain, and a talk about rules and where they impede process. When rules make it tough to operate, and are outside the mission, it is ok to question the process.
