COT:
Man this has been a crazy week at the Bailey household. I imagine it was a little crazy for all of us. I was originally going to talk about the Presidential election 🗳️ but decided to talk about something different. Although the two things I want to focus on could probably be tied to that as well.

My wife signed up for the Indy race back in February and we were supposed to be leaving later this morning and head to Indiana. We were going out for dinner and then taking it back to the hotel. The plan was for her to wake up and run her marathon.

Plans have changed. My daughter broke her arm Wednesday and has surgery scheduled at 11 AM this morning.

So what I would like to talk about is sacrifice and compassion.

My wife has been training her butt off for months. Waking up early on Saturdays or Sundays to get in long runs to prepare for this race. We thought we were taking my daughter to get a cast yesterday and that’s when we found out she would require surgery. I was trying to make a way for it to work so that my wife could go ahead and run her race, like staying back with Rebecca while she went to Indiana. She couldn’t bring herself to do it because she knew she wouldn’t be focused she knew she would be worried about my daughter. that’s both sacrifice and compassion.

Doc McStuffins AKA Dr Keith Gray spoke at my church a couple of weeks back and he defined compassion.

Compassion is made up of these 3 things:
Seeing others with empathy
Listening without distraction
Bold & Sacrificial action

“I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.”
“Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭116‬:‭1-2

COT:
In the Bible, “dying to self” is a concept that refers to the act of setting aside one’s own wants and desires to follow Jesus and live a life that is centered on God.

The world has a very different concept of living. Just look over here at this, go ahead and get this, or do that. No one is going to know, no one is going to care. The world screams at us to (fill in the blank) and you’ll be happy. Just a little more…
If it makes you feel happy, do it.

It ultimately comes down to the fact that the enemy is working triple over
time to try and make us stumble. So stand fast and choose to wake up each day, take up your cross, and follow Jesus.

“For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬-‭25‬

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬

Bethel Music

Remember these lyrics:
“The enemy thought he had me, but Jesus said you are mine”

COT: Last week Lil’ Spice mentioned a Christian artist named Andrew Peterson. I recognized the name, not by music but by his writing. He wrote a 4 book miniseries entitled The Wingfeather Saga that tells the tale of a family of kids who must learn about life in the midst of strife.
In one chapter an idea struck as very poignant. The idea is to be the Moon in the darkness. To be a light for those who are struggling. I talked about how the moon has many phases that shows different brightness. We also reflect that same brightness, sometimes Full, sometimes waxing or waning and sometimes new and just showing a sliver. Sometimes it’s obvious that we are good men, husbands, fathers, leaders and other times when we struggle to see a way for ourselves. So when you’re bright, shine for those who struggle and when you struggle find that bright light and ask for help.
Guardrail also mentioned that the moon doesn’t provide light but gives off the reflection of the sun, so, in this metaphor, be a reflection of the Son.

Prayers for those struggling through what life has going on including cancer, health, storm recovery and so much more

Second chances
1 Cor 6:9-11 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

I got into some serious trouble as a middle schooler and betrayed a close friend by breaking into his house and stealing from his family. I believe that God’s hand played into receiving mercy and avoiding long term consequences for my actions because he had other plans for me in his kingdom. I needed a second chance.

The Latin word for common is vulgar. Aren’t the things the common man thinks and does vulgar? That is why God is sanctifying us. Sanctification is the verb process of making holy or setting apart. God is taking us out of the common and setting us apart for his use. The sins of your past may or may not be mentioned in 1 Cor 6 but they are mentioned elsewhere and your sins are no better than anyone else’s and their sins are no worse than yours. Regardless, let them be your past, not your present or future.

Allow God to continue in his sanctification of you for his purposes and make the most of this second chance.
