Great work by all and awesome encouragement on the run

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.
