COT: Seeking wisdom to choose and execute a righteous path, a path that will serve, and yes, a path that will reward. I think about the freedom, and release of burden associated with dropping the false façade’s we in leadership roles, and in business trap ourselves within.
It’s about opening your heart, so your mind is open to receive wisdom. Self aggrandizing, can close your heart to others and only serves to falsely exalt/elevate you. This separates you from others. Separating yourself only prevents your ability to receive wisdom from those around you. You may ask Him for wisdom, but your own pride can interfere with your ability to hear His word, and receive the gift of wisdom. Exalting oneself is to hold yourself above others. This separation may also separate you from receiving the wisdom you may be seeking.

In Matthew 23:12, Jesus declares, “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Similarly, Proverbs 22:4 reminds us that pride leads to disgrace, while humility brings forth wisdom. Pride blinds us to our dire need for salvation and corrupts our spiritual growth.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
GTE, Hardship Hill, start talking about a possible JUCO event (workout and bbq :man-shrugging:) to get more Hardin Valley men out in the gloom.

COT:
1 Peter 4:9-10
Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:

One of the things I enjoy most is playing drums on our worship team at church. I consider it a joy and a privilege to help lead God’s people in worshipping our creator.

Challenge: Find somewhere to serve at your church if you are not already. There is something for everyone, and you never know how you may impact someone’s entire day, week, month or year just by being there.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Escape from Haw Ridge on April 5th.
COT: We are, in general, a very blessed nation. Oftentimes, we do not count our blessings from God, and we take them for granted. At church, we sing a song “Count your blessings, name them one by one.” We need to remember to be grateful for all of our blessings, but this morning, I want to mention one blessing in particular that we especially shouldn’t take for granted: our wives. Proverbs 31 contains a description of a wife’s worthiness. In particular, verse 10 tells of her worth. “Her worth is far above jewels.” Our wives are a treasure that is far above value. If you are anything like me, you probably don’t tell her this often enough. She needs to know! There are far too many marriages that end for many reasons. Don’t let lack of appreciation for all she does be a reason for strife in your marriages.

COT:

Mark 1:35
– On the heels of beginning His ministry (healing many the night before), Jesus got up before the day began, went to a desolate place, and prayed.
– With his ministry starting, excitement, much productivity to be had, he left to spend time with His Father. His most productive time.
– When is the last time we’ve went away to be alone with Jesus? Do we have regular times we schedule to pursue the Lord in this way?

COT: You are getting “More or Less”. Are you more loving to your wife? or less. Are you more transparent with kids? or less? Are you more like Jesus? or less.
Consider Eph 5:15. Look carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, making the best use of the time for the days are evil.
