Chadd Wright, 3of7 Podcast, said:
“I hiked the Grand Canyon today. If you have t done it yet, you should…..as soon as possible. I have been many places and have never seen anything like it in terms of landscape. I told my wife, during our hike, ‘I can’t believe we waited this long to do this.’ It’s inexcusable. It made me think of how much we leave on the table in life. How often we pass on the opportunity to create amazing memories….because we’re busy doing things that don’t really matter. Soon enough, it’ll be too late.

Don’t leave life on the table. Bring Glory to God in everything we do. Make memories, because things fail and pass away, but memories last a lifetime. And especially, don’t wait, life is but a vapor, and the days are long but the years are short.

COT: Mental Toughness

1. Mental toughness is when you can find fuel in an empty tank.” – Unknown
2. “The true measure of a man is not how he behaves when things are going well, but how he responds when faced with adversity.” – Unknown
3. “It’s not the load that breaks you, it’s the way you carry it.” – Lou Holtz

These quotes emphasize the importance of resilience, persistence, and the ability to remain strong under pressure. Mental toughness is often about how you respond to challenges, not avoiding them.

COT:
MLK: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
This is also a Biblical truth.

Matthew 5:14-16 NLT
[14] “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. [15] No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. [16] In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

We need to be that light to those around us and shine where the darkness is. But remember that it’s all for the Glory of God!

COT:
Pride ( Notes from church last night, thanks Mouthwash)
Pride is often a blindspot.
1 Peter 5:5 God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Pride started with the fall of Lucifer. He wanted to be like God and was cast down from heaven.
The devil tempered Adam and Eve with pride, you can be like God.
Pride is thinking too highly of our selves. Our culture encourages the opposite.
“Humility is honestly assessing ourselves in light of God’s holiness and our sinfulness” – CJ Mahaney
When we aren’t thinking of those two, His holiness and our sinfulness, we start becoming proud.
Perspective – who are we comparing ourselves with, others or God.
The cross of Christ is the only thing to bridge the gap of his holiness and our sinfulness
The fruit of pride is when we reject the authority that God has placed over us.
A way for us to grow in humility is to understand who God is more – read our words, study the attributes. When we see God it enables us to have a better assessment of ourselves.
