Put Not

Here’s an old theme with a new twist. Who or what are you putting too much hope in? Hollywood has made an art out of fooling us. Wake up. Also...it’s @amytuggs and my anniversary! So this morning is marriage themed!

Discussion / Reflection:
1) Who are your “princes?”

2) As specifically as possible, what issue(s) are you looking for someone or something to solve? Put another way, what can only God do that you are expecting _____ to do?

3) What would it look like to rely more on God, with this specific issue?

A Life Time What is God up to RIGHT NOW? Good question. Just as important, however, is this: what is God is up to over your LIFETIME? Discussion / Reflection: 1| What do you want to hold on to from Psalm 146? 2| How (very practically) will you continue to remind your soul to praise God? Another way to put it: how can you continue to nurture your life with God? 3| What has not been accomplished in your life or in the world that you are being nudged to continue to pray for?

What God is Doing What is God doing? Here’s a clear, concise list of 7 things. How is God doing these things? That requires some reflection and discussion. Discussion / Reflection: 1| Which of these 7 things needs to happen in your life? 2| Is God sending people into your life as an answer to prayer? 3| Are you being nudged into someone else’s life to be an answer to prayer?

Diagnoses and Perscriptions We all have problems and we are all looking for solutions. A couple of keys to life: accurately diagnosing problems and employing effective solutions. Are you being duped by false diagnoses and hapless placebos? An age-old problem for we humans... Discussion / Reflection: 1) What problems in your life / in the world might you have misdiagnosed? 2) Are there solutions you are employing/espousing that are not actually working? 3) How is our disconnection from God we are created to be connected to creating problems in your life / in our world?
