One of God’s gifts to His people is that He often brings certain individuals and families into our lives for a season to make a significant impact, and then He graciously sends them out to serve and bless others.
One of the most comforting truths in all of Scripture:
You are not held together by your grip on God. You are held together by His grip on you.
Some of us are exhausted from trying to hold everything together. The gospel says you were never meant to.
Tomorrow at @thegladechurch we’ll open Psalm 121 and discover the God who never sleeps, never stops watching, and never abandons His people.
Hope you’ll join us.
What mountain are you staring at right now?
The mountain is real.
The diagnosis is real.
The pressure is real.
The uncertainty is real.
Psalm 121 doesn’t tell us to pretend the mountain isn’t there. It reminds us to look beyond the mountain to the Maker of the mountain.
Fear sees mountains. Faith sees the Maker.
That’s where we’re headed this Sunday at @thegladechurch.
@AndrewTWalker@9Marks Great article. God’s ways aren’t random, but rooted in how He created the world, revealed in His Word, and fulfilled in Christ. The gospel does not call us to escape reality, but to see reality rightly through the One who created it, sustains it, and redeems it.
Most of us don’t have a problem believing God can save us.
We have a problem believing He can handle what we’re facing this week.
A diagnosis.
A prodigal child.
Financial uncertainty.
A future we can’t control.
We trust God for eternity but struggle to trust Him for Tuesday. That’s exactly where Psalm 121 meets us.
Join us tomorrow at @thegladechurch as we learn what it means to trust the God who never stops watching over His people.
@davideprince One of the greatest blessings of the Christian life is knowing that God’s guidance will never require us to set aside God’s truth. His Word is both our compass and our safeguard.
@stevenfurtick The resistance you’re facing may be the doorway to what God wants to reveal. Or it may be God’s mercy preventing you from walking through the wrong door.
The challenge is not simply pushing harder... it’s seeking God with enough humility to know the difference.
@shane_pruitt78 Pride is far more subtle than arrogance. Sometimes it looks like self-sufficiency, independence, and the quiet assumption that we can handle life without God’s help. That’s why humility is so essential to the Christian life.
One of the gifts God gives a community is a servant-leader whose ambition is not personal gain, but the good of others.
May the Lord continue to raise up men and women of character, conviction, humility, and courage who are willing to serve wherever He calls them... for His glory and the good of their neighbors.
@GregBerge I like it... The longer I coach, the more convinced I become that kids (and adults) don’t need perfect coaches. They need consistent ones.
Consistency builds trust. Trust builds influence. Influence builds players.
