DEVO OF THE WEEK!! Hey y’all, Ethan here, another passage from Colossians 3 this week!
When competing at any athletic level, the mind is sometimes the most important factor to a team’s/player’s success. I remember playing soccer in 4th grade and in the heat of an “intense” game, I looked and saw one of our defenders sitting on the ground picking flowers. Needless to say, his mind was not set on the task at hand, and because of this he was practically useless to our defense.
Now, a 4th grade soccer game is not the most important moment of my life. But it reminds me much of my spiritual walk with God, how sometimes when my mind is not set on God, it is easy to see the consequences of it. Whether in stressful, scary, or sad situations, depending on myself only led me to depression, hopelessness, and fear.
But as I’ve grown older, I’ve started to see the beauty of dependence on God, how in times of need trusting him with my life has brought me not only peace but has allowed me to serve Him faithfully in my ministry. no matter what you’re going through, full dependence on Christ will certainly bring trials and struggles, as we live in a broken world, but God is faithful and will give us the peace and strength to glorify him and everything that we do. This week, seek to serve him, and set your mind on Christ!
