• Psalm 24
• “There are seasons where we can see the visible hand of God. We see the undercurrent, the silent hand or the invisible hand all the time, but there are seasons, there are moments in our lives where the visible hand of God is present and evident.”
• Daniel 4
• “Why don’t we start our planning season with reminding ourselves that it seems good to us to show the signs and wonders of the Most High God?”
• “It’s good for us to remind each other of God’s presence and His faithfulness and His being with us.”
• “The Bible isn’t abstract and irrelevant, but relevant and speaks into the daily things of our lives if we just take a few minutes to read and understand and know.”
• Romans 12:2
• James 3:17-18
• “Where are we going to reap the most harvest for God’s Kingdom? Are the actions we’re going to take going to be peace-loving? Are they considerate, are they full of mercy and good fruit?”
• “As we go into each season, we can take a moment to take a look at what God has done.”
• “These moments of reminding and being faithful to retelling the stories of God’s hand in our lives are the foundation for us to then launch into all that God has for us next.”
• “We live in this world, then, where God is asking us to do the mission that he has, this redeeming work all around the world, and yet He’s never asking us to over-own this.”
• “Father, I’m always willing to ensure that You stay as the owner, and I will steward whatever mission You have in front of me.”
• “What do you want me to do about this, God?”
• “God, I want You to do all that You can, everything You desire here, to make this right, and Father, I’ll be whatever You need me to be to help You accomplish whatever You’re desiring.”
• “If we’re running so hard and fast, we can sometimes miss what God is saying.”
