COT:
“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff— they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NRSV‬‬https://bible.com/bible/2016/psa.23.5-6.NRSV

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
John 14:1 says, “Let not your hearts be troubled.  Believe in God; Believe also in me”.

I heard recently of a commentary by Frederick Bruner on John that this word “believe” more literally translates as “relax into”.  This of course made me think of a hammock.  We must put our full weight into a hammock to enjoy the swing, but it takes faith that it will hold us to really relax.  Ronald Rolheiser in Holy longing describes prayer as “Relaxing into God’s presence”.

My prayer for us today is that we can Believe, Rest and Relax into God’s goodness. Just as generations before us have found God to be enough to hold us up.
“But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”  Acts 15:11

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Have you guys ever thought about the term climbing the ladder at work?  Inherently, you always step on someone (i.e., the rung or step on the ladder) to go up. In the same way, you affect someone else by taking a promotion or trying to climb your way up

How about a different analogy…you may not often think about the way in which flowers and other shrubs grow, but they take nutrients from the soil in order to blossom and really flourish.  Well… those mechanics of feeding on the nutrients take away those nutrients from other plants, bushes and flowers.

So be a flower, but not a big one. Also be a rung on the ladder because those are a necessity to the ladders overall structural integrity.

Consider that standing at the top can be unstable and potentially unsafe.

“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. – Galatians 6:10 NIV
