COT:
It’s Back to School week! Summer is coming to a close for many and that means schedules and busyness are ramping up. Shopping, supplies, new classes, new activities, new routines, running from here to there. It can be overwhelming not only for our kids but for us.

Often, at times like this, we knuckle down and become uber self reliant. We plot and we plan and grind it out. We fill up our schedules, allowing them to dictate our rhythms or lack thereof. We almost create this sense of pride in our busyness.

“In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” Isaiah the prophet wrote about Judah wanting to flee from the Assyrians and trust in Egypt for their protection. Egypt! The original oppressor. Instead of trusting in God’s sovereignty and plan, they created their own. “Stubborn children”, “adding sin to sin”, and “suffering shame and humiliation”.

They were unwilling. Isn’t that the human condition? I know I’m guilty of this. But “therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.”

So, a different time, place, people, and set of circumstances for sure! But, the same God still exists, 2700 years later. Do we stop? Do we listen and learn? When life comes at us faster than we are ready for it, do we rush to avoid or control it?

I challenge you today to be quiet. Wait. Breathe! Don’t max out your schedules. Make time for what’s important. For me, that’s time with God. It’s not my strength, but he’s so patient and gracious to me, it doesn’t have to be. What has he already revealed to me and how is that calling me to use wisdom and discernment? Be intentional to spend time with your spouse, kids, and friends. And, like Mermaid said last week, take care of yourself, seek help and reach out when you need it.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

With everything you do, remember that you are not just serving a client, a patient, your wife, your family, but it is the Lord who receives all that we do.

Also when thinking about your WHY for coming to F3 in the morning, what is your purpose and goal. Think back to your first Q and the joy/difficulty that it brought to know that you are making a difference for yourself. The challenge is to focus on 3S2T (Strength, Stamina, Speed and Toughness: Mental and Physical). Some days you may be able to focus on 1 or 2 and others your can strive for all 5, but whatever you do, just get 1% better.

Prayers for all in attendance and those who couldn’t make it. Prayer requests for Haggis closing on home in 45 minutes.
