COT: How do you handle disappointment? Who do you talk to about what’s going on your life? Vulnerability especially to our wives is not an inconvenience to be avoided but the path to growing in mental/emotional health, relationships (especially marriage), and faith. “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

COT:
How does June 24th matter when it comes to the Declaration of Independence?
Here’s a basic rundown of it.
June 7th – Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented initial resolution for independence.
June 11th – foundations for the document were laid
June 11th – Committee of Five. Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, Roger Sherman, Robert R Livingston. Jefferson chosen to draft Declaration
June 28th – Presented to Congress.
Congress debated and revised it between July 1st and the 4th.
Formally adopted by Congress on July 2nd.
The www.google.com/search?safe=active&cs=1&sca_esv=a644fcbfba2a63ce&sxsrf=AE3TifMZhh5JTXJ4JOD-ennCuxqCHym8qQ%3A1750716996991&q=Continental+Congress&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiA3L6FyYiOAxXev4kEHVd-FnQQxccNegQIExA… voted to declare independence from Great Britain on July 2, 1776.

The delegates then spent the next two days revising and finalizing the text of the www.google.com/search?safe=active&cs=1&sca_esv=a644fcbfba2a63ce&sxsrf=AE3TifMZhh5JTXJ4JOD-ennCuxqCHym8qQ%3A1750716996991&q=Declaration+of+Independence&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiA3L6FyYiOAxXev4kEHVd-FnQQxccN…. This final, approved version was officially adopted on July 4th.

So, on June 24th, 1776, the Committee of Five, appointed on June 11th, was likely engaged in the process of drafting the Declaration of Independence, which was presented to Congress later that week. No specific significant event directly linked to the Declaration of Independence is recorded as occurring on that particular day.

However, the critical activities related to the Declaration leading up to July 4th were the drafting by the Committee of Five, the presentation to Congress, and the subsequent debates and revisions. Without this work done by our forefathers, significant events would not have followed.

June 24th is important because even though the efforts of that day are not recorded or celebrated, they were essential in process that became independence for America. Don’t ever think your work and preparation, even though they aren’t seen by others, aren’t significant.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
This past Sunday was Pentecost.
Some traditions associate with it include Wearing Red (symbolizes the fire of the Holy Spirit). Praying for Guidance: and Engaging in Fellowship: Participate in activities that promote unity and fellowship.
So I don’t know about wearing red, but the other two traditions I have absolutely immersed myself in this week. It’s been a challenging week, and as leaders, I think praying for guidance does a couple of things.
It indicates a willingness to be open to inspiration, comfort, and guidance, specifically from your Sky Q, but

this willingness can also trickle over into seeking guidance from others that you respect, tapping into others for inspiration and direction. The burden of leadership does not have to be borne alone.

And I think Engaging in Fellowship is also important for leaders. Sometimes being a leader feels very lonely. Sometimes it feels like, in spite of your best efforts, everything you’ve worked hard for to accomplish in your position has been in vain. It’s very important not to isolate yourself. Engaging with others is healthy and often very helpful. Connecting, sharing ideas, sharing concerns, even just having someone to have a beer with or tell a funny joke is important. You are not as alone as you might think. And when things are rough, those HIMs that you surround yourself with will give you that inspiration to keep fighting the good fight. AYE.

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4 (ESV)

Loss is a common source of stress. You can lose so many things—like your job, your health, your money, your reputation, or a loved one.

When people go through loss, you see two common reactions: One is fear, and the other is grief.

Grief is good. Grief is the way we get through the transitions of life. In fact, if you don’t grieve, you get stuck!

On the other hand, fear is a bad thing. Not once does the Bible say, “Grieve not,” “Mourn not,” “Weep not,” or “Cry not.” What it does say is, “Fear not.” And it says that 365 times! Grief doesn’t paralyze, but fear does.

David says in Psalm 23:4, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me” (ESV).

When that psalm was written, shepherds always carried a rod and a staff to protect their sheep. David knew that, in the same way, God had the tools to protect him. And he trusted God, even in the darkest valleys.

You might be going through the valley of the shadow right now. It may be the valley of the shadow of death. It may be the valley of the shadow of debt. It may be the valley of the shadow of conflict. It may be the valley of the shadow of depression. It may be the valley of the shadow of discouragement.

Shadows are scary. Remember being afraid of shadows when you were lying in bed as a kid? I’ve learned a few things about shadows.

First, shadows can’t hurt you.

Second, shadows are always bigger than the source.

And here’s more good news: Wherever there’s a shadow, there has to be a light. You can’t have a shadow without light. So the key when you’re going through the valley of the shadow is to turn your back on the shadow and look at the light. Because as long as you keep your eyes on the light—Jesus, the Light of the World—the shadow won’t scare you.

That’s how you go through the valley of the shadow of death. That’s how you lower your stress. You trust God in the dark valleys, just like David, who prayed, “When I am ready to give up, he knows what I should do” (Psalm 142:3 GNT).
