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

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.

COT:
I wanted to talk to you today about rest, particularly sabbath rest. I’m sure you’re familiar with the creation story, so I wanted to share from Genesis 2:2-3

“By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.”

Sabbath was a pretty unfamiliar word or practice to me until last year when our small group did a couple studies that went into more detail.

What is it?
Modeled after creation, God rested on the 7th day.
Time to set aside everything to stop, rest, delight, and worship.
Designed by God as a day to give yourself fully to delight in God’s world, in your life in it, and ultimately in God himself.

Historically, having free time used to be looked at as being for the wealthy. Now if you look at not only the wealthy, but most of culture, our lives are defined by busyness and how much can we do.

When you think about what does it look like, it won’t be the same for everyone and varies by stage of life and preferences. One quote I like is:

If you work with your hands, you Sabbath with your mind. If you work with your mind, you may prefer to Sabbath with your hands.

I sit at a desk for most of my work so getting out in nature or doing something active can be “restful” for me.

For my family, we just started making Sabbath a part of our routine over the last few weeks and try to start around 3pm on Saturday to 3pm on Sunday. We start with a family devotional. Then we have a family activity of some sort, meal together, and bedtime, Sunday is typically church, lunch, then individual rest time. We plan to incorporate gatherings with family or friends into our routine as well as it’s not just for individual families.

So I would challenge all of us to evaluate our lives, our busyness, and try to make Sabbath a weekly routine we lead our families through to realize everything we have and need comes from God.
