Look at Your Hand
What provokes you to worship? Is it the sight of the Grand Canyon or great planets? How about something closer? You can study the genius of God's hand in studying your hand. Look at the palm of your right hand. Study the lines, the unique fingerprints, the way it was created to take a strong grip or touch with tenderness. Think of the nerves of the living skin that allow you to feel warmth, or the blood that constantly flows through your hands. Look at the rigid nails that grow at prearranged curves ... and all this was made from food you have eaten, and all that food traces itself back to the soil. God is so great, so wonderful, so magnificent, so glorious, and when words can't express our thoughts of Him, worship takes over. Okay, stop staring at your hand ...
because there goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
If you’re struggling right now in any way, skip the life hacks for a minute.
Go to church this Sunday.
Even if you don’t normally go. Even if you’re “spiritual not religious.” Even if you have PTSD from the religious boredom of church as a kid. Just go sit in the back row and be still for an hour.
Almost everything in your life right now is optimized for production or consumption. Slack, spreadsheets, TikTok, email, sales calls. All output and input. Almost nothing is sacred, quiet, or unmonetized.
Church is one of the last places left that isn’t trying to sell you something or steal your attention. It’s an hour built around the idea that you are more than your revenue, or your value. It's one of the few places where the only goal is to confess your flaws, let them go and have some faith.
It's a place that will welcome everyone, even and maybe especially if you hate yourself right now.
Sit, stand, sing, or just listen. Let someone read words that have outlived every empire and every market cycle.
Let your brain remember: money is a tool, not a god. You are not the sole author of your story.
You’ll walk back out into the same world, same problems, same bank account, but it will feel a little less loud and a little less about you. That’s insanely useful if you’re carrying heavy stuff right now.
Tomorrow, you can go back to your problems.
Today, give yourself permission to just be a human.
If things are brutal right now, consider this your permission slip: Close the laptop. Go to church. Let God be bigger than your to‑do list for one hour.
Today marks the start of a new journey of actively engaging on X with people who are passionate about magnifying Jesus Christ, maximizing their impact at home, at work, and in ministry, and more fully becoming who God created them to be. Let's do this!
@CryptoChartsJoe I just added you to my prayer list, Joe, and asked God for healing of your body and for His will to be done in your life. May our Savior give you joy and peace as continue to trust Him along your journey!
