COT:

Exodus — when Moses asks God to send someone else —

“In this moment, Moses does what we often do when God calls us. We compare our natural gifts and abilities to the size of the task, to gauge whether we are capable of doing what God has called us to do. God doesn’t call us because we have, in ourselves, everything we need to accomplish what he’s calling us to do.
No, he calls weak and broken people to do huge and important things because He is able. He is with us, and he empowers us to do what he wills for us to do. Every one of God’s commands is accompanied by his empowering grace. Exodus 4 records how God demonstrates his power to fearful Moses to assure him that he will go down to Egypt and stand before Pharaoh not in his own power, but in the awesome power of the King of kings and the Lord of lords” — Paul Tripp from Everyday Gospel

COT: 2 Parts. 1 – Steady work over time produces results and I mentioned how proud I was of my Daughter for completing her PT over a few months and being back in track and cross country. 2 – The workouts we did today were things we always do PLUS a little extra and they were MUCH MUCH harder. So reminder that we can always push ourselves to be better and even a small change can make something that’s “normal” much harder and produce more results.

COT:

One of the names of our Savior Jesus Christ that I’ve been pondering is Hope of the World. These are some thoughts of the hope He gives.

Hope to be known, seen, and loved 100%, as we are.

Hope to change, hope that He who sees us as we are can help us become something better. Hope that we can overcome weaknesses so deep we may even consider them part of our personality or identity, but that we know deep down aren’t in line with our truest, divine identity. Hope that we can overcome stagnation and despair, and find peace for our guilt, relief for our regrets.

Hope that we and those we love will live again.

Hope that we can start again. And again. And again and again. Hope for second chances, clean slates, new beginnings. Hope that there is no such thing as the end.

Hope that the joy we can feel right now doesn’t depend on the circumstances of our lives, but on the focus of our lives.

Jesus Christ is that never ending source of hope and joy. May we each feel His hope this Christmas season!

Colossians 3:12-15

[12] Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, [13] bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. [14] And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. [15] And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
