COT:
Easter is about return—the return of light, of life, of hope. This time of year reminds us that even after long seasons of darkness or stillness, good things come back.

We felt that in the workout today—running that hill over and over. We kept returning to the bottom. Not because we failed, but because that’s where the work starts again.

Wherever you are in your life—if you’ve drifted from your routines, your purpose, your people—consider this your invitation to return.

You’re not starting over. You’re coming back stronger.

COT: F3 Word

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.[a]

There are days that we wake up and sense that we are not headed the right direction that we aren’t on the right path.

Proverbs 4:18
“But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.”

Sometimes we start our workouts in darkness but as we go through the end of the workout we see a tiny bit of light… and it gets brighter and brighter… if you’ve ever been camping in a place where there is no artificial light it’s even more noticeable…

If you are not on the right path, take one step in the right direction

There is peace with God through Jesus Christ. My encouragement to you and to myself is to turn from trusting yourself and trust in Christ. When you do, dawn has begun in your life. Turn from foolishness and walk together in wisdom motivated by the worthiness of God and his purpose for you, and encouraged by hope.

C.S. Lewis said that both Good and Evil increase at compound interest. Pursue that which is evil and the downward spiral accelerates at an ever increasing rate. Pursue that which is good and good increases not arithmetically, but exponentially.
