COT:
Scripture: Isaiah 40:29 – “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”

In life, we often think of strength in terms of physical power or endurance. We train our bodies, push through challenges, and strive to be strong on our own. But true strength isn’t just about what we can do on our own—it’s about relying on God, who gives us the strength we need to overcome anything.
The prophet Isaiah reminds us that God is the source of our strength. When we are weary and feel like we have nothing left to give, God is there, providing the strength that goes beyond our own limitations. His power isn’t just for the strong; it’s for the weak, the tired, and the overwhelmed.
Today, if you’re feeling worn out or discouraged, remember that you don’t have to rely on your own strength. God is ready to renew your strength, lift you up, and empower you to face whatever comes your way.

Also consider this from our sermon at church this weekend.

Ask Jesus, “What do you want me to know about me?”

COT:“I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬-‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬
bible.com/bible/59/php.4.14.ESV

Contentment is an interesting thing, I think some believe contentment to mean being ok with less than your best, or mean to be ok with not striving for success or being motivated or maybe to mean settling.. But, I think it’s more about knowing that God is in control and learning to trust Him man no matter the situation in life. Paul says he has learned to be content in the highs and lows. I’m definitely still learning. It’s really neat to step back and objectively see the path you’re on. When you started down whatever road you’re on, I bet you had no idea of the highs and lows it would bring, but, for me, I can see Gods plan and provision through it all. Everything part of the journey has been part of my growth and part of the growth is learning to be content with the road I’m on. Again it’s not settling for something, rather it’s gratefulness for the highs and learning to trust in the lows.

COT:

Continuing my theme of treasure from last Q.
“Matt 6:20-21
20. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. “”21 “”For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
These verse is one of several in this section about focus. What are you focused on? Where your treasure and focus are is where your heart is. This challenge is to make sure your focus is in the right place. Nothing wrong with things of this world but they can so easily become the center of your attention.
