Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 ESV
[9] Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. [10] For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! [11] Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? [12] And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

COT:
MLK: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
This is also a Biblical truth.

Matthew 5:14-16 NLT
[14] “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. [15] No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. [16] In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

We need to be that light to those around us and shine where the darkness is. But remember that it’s all for the Glory of God!

Being with God vs Doing for God

Story of Mary and Martha Luke 10:38-42

– “While Marthas hospitality is to be commended, her being with Jesus is not sufficient to sustain her doing for Jesus. How are you balancing your being with God and Doing for God?
– “The active life in the world for God can only properly flow from a deep inner life with God.” When we integrate both being and doing it makes the spiritual life full and joyful.”

– As we draw near to God the more he will draw near to us. James 4:8
– “you make known to me the paths of righteousness and in your presence there is fullness of joy.” psalm 16:11
– “For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

COT: How do you view God? Father, Lord, Judge, Master?
Seeing God as Father:
Play, child of God, there is joy despite the circumstances because just like a child, the burden is the Father’s. Play, be joyful, embrace the adventure, go to your Father with the troubles of this world, He will lead you and guide you along the narrow path.

“At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬-‭30‬ ‭ESV‬‬
