"What is it that God might want to teach you? I know that many of you have walked faithfully with God for quite some time. But is it possible that you are making a practice of consuming things that don’t honor Him? How are you spending your time when you get up, or just before bed? What is it that your eyes and ears are soaking in? How much of the fear-laden, anger-inducing news are you feeding on every day? Is it making you better? More like Him? What about the other people in your life? Are you diminishing the worth of any person or group in your life right now, by the way you talk about them, behave towards them? Is there anyone who may doubt that they are an absolute treasure to God because they know they aren’t to you? Or maybe He wants to speak to you in the other direction: what good are you producing? Who’s being encouraged by you? Inspired by you? Drawn towards Jesus because of the way you handle inconveniences and hardships? I know it all seems basic. But maybe we need to humbly confess that it’s the basics we’re overlooking." -Pastor Ryan Bash
