COT: Quote from the movie Oppenheimer: “Algebra is like sheet music. The important thing isn’t can you read the music, it’s can you HEAR it” . Faith is similar. You can check all the boxes of the rituals of your faith, but the goal is to hear the music of your Sky Q’s love in your heart and soul. It may take a while for that to happen, and it’s not necessarily connected to how may boxes you check, but it’s an incredible feeling hearing that song in you once you attune to your God. “During the quiet moments, when I still my mind and my body, I can hear the song of His love in my heart and in my soul.”

COT:
Hall of Faith- Hebrews 11
It’s not a Hall of Fame, but a Hall of Faith. There’s alot of sports talk about who should be in various Halls of Fame. As a Reds fan I ponder Pete Rose and if he should be in the MLB Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Faith guys and gals are much better though. I am especially inspired by Abraham. God called him to leave his home and even sacrifice his son Isaac. How did Abraham respond? He obeyed in faith. What is God calling us to that might be difficult to do? “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Let us go deeper in our faith in the Lord.

COT:
Show and Tell with Steam: New tat: “Temporary sacrifice for the greater good.”

3 components to this:
– Time: You have a specific # of days of life, no more no less. There’s nothing you can do to add to those days or subtract from them. Time is also the only non-renewable resource.
– Sacrifice: There are opportunities everyday to sacrifice things for the ones you love (big and small things). What are you willing to sacrifice for the things you love?
– Greater Good: What sacrifices are you willing to make for the greater good? Who or what is the greater good for you?

Here’s the peak of temporary sacrifice for the greater good: God sending his son to die and take our place on the cross so we could be redeemed and have access to our Heavenly Father. It was a temporary sacrifice for the greater good. The greater good? Us. God’s immense love for us activated this temporary sacrifice.

So here’s a takeaway – think about how you can live out temporary sacrifice in your life today, this week, this month, and this year.
