Daily Dose of Hope March 3, 2025 Day 2 of Week 49     Scripture:  Ezra 7-10; Psalm 97; Revelation 4   Welcome back, friends, to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.   For our Old Testament Scripture, we head back to the book of Ezra.  In chapters 7 and 8, we read about Ezra returning to Jerusalem.  The king of Persia has given him and any Jews who want to return permission to do so.  But it's quite a journey.  Ezra records all that come with him.    One interesting thing about Ezra is that he was a leader who invested in his people. He didn't just tell the people what to do, he actually taught the people Scripture and how to interpret it. Thus, as we move into chapters 9 and 10, the people are now recognizing that what is going on among them is wrong. They see how the Jewish people are out of alignment with God's law and they decide to bring their concerns to Ezra.   What's the issue? Well, the people of God have been intermarrying with all the pagan nations and cultures around them. They have given their daughters in marriage to Canaanites and Hittites. They have accepted Moabite and Amorite men as husbands for their daughters. God asked them to be a holy, set-apart people and they have done anything but. There are certainly instances in the Old Testament when Jewish people have married foreigners(think Ruth the Moabite) and things have turned out well. But in those cases, the foreign spouse became dedicated to the one true God. In other instances, when things didn't turn out so well (think Solomon and all his wives), it was because the spouses remained pagan and brought their pagan gods into the home. It is hard to be holy and set apart when Pagan influences are at your kitchen table and in your bedroom.   As believers in Jesus, we are also to be set apart people. That doesn't mean we isolate ourselves from the world, but rather we live differently. Our values are different than the world's values. Our lifestyle should be different from the world's lifestyle. When it comes to marriage, the New Testament also implores believers to marry other believers. It isn't a command but it makes sense. When a person of one worldview covenants with the person of a totally different worldview, it can be really, really hard. When one spouse is committed to Jesus and the other isn't, there will be value clashes.   Think about your own relationships, maybe your marriage. How might your pray for those closest to you in regard to faith? We know that God isn't done with anyone yet. What relationship is heavy on your heart right now? Take a moment and pray.   Back to the Scripture - the people truly loved and respected Ezra and when they see how distraught he is, they also become distraught. Ezra really doesn't have to force the people to acknowledge their wrongdoing. They know their guilt before God is significant. They have intermarried with people who worship other gods. They have broken God's law and they know it. Now what is to be done?   Ezra as the leader guides the people but doesn't force them into any specific solution. It is the people themselves who decide that the foreign wives and their children should be banned from their fellowship. This is a hard one for me. Presumably, some of these are innocents. It wasn't their fault that their father decided to marry a foreign woman. And yet, they would be sent away. Sin always has consequences.   I think that is a hard lesson for us. Sin always has consequences. Sometimes, the consequences are more severe than others. In our case, we can receive forgiveness through Jesus Christ and be reconciled to God but that doesn't remove the consequences for ourselves and others. Sin always has consequences.   Now we head to our New Testament reading in Revelation. We've moved from the concerns of the churches to the heavenly realm in chapter 4. John describes heaven's throne room with God on the throne. Human words fail John at this moment and he can only describe God as having the appearance of jasper and ruby. I've tried to envision this. Jasper is a beautiful stone that can be either a deep red or dark green. Ruby is obviously a brilliant red. So God, in John's vision, includes the flashing radiance of reds and greens. Take a moment, close your eyes, and try to imagine what John is seeing.   The main throne is surrounded by twenty-four other thrones occupied by twenty-four elders. Scholars have debated for years as to who these elders might be but it probably isn't all that relevant. What is relevant is the majesty of it all. From that central throne, there are flashes of lightning and the sounds of thunder. There are seven blazing lamps around the throne, symbolizing the Holy Spirit. What is most interesting to me are the four creatures who surround the throne. They seem to serve as guardians of some kind. They are covered with eyes and they each have six wings. They are similar to the fantastic beings described in Ezekiel (chapters 1 and 10). And these beings never stop praising God. All the time, never-ending praise: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,' who was, and is, and is to come.”   When the four creatures give praise, the twenty-four elders do as well, falling down and worshiping God. Think of it–praise to God all the time; continuous, nonstop worship and praise. In heaven, God is being worshiped constantly without breaks or pauses. Why? Because he is God. Because he is creator, because he is sustainer, because he is Savior and Lord of all. Ceaseless praise.   How much time do we spend praising God in our lives on earth? Be honest. What's your praise level? How might we begin to worship and praise God on a continuous (or at least daily) basis? How might this change how we view God? How might this change how we view the world?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Skyscraper-studded Dubai has been on a hot streak for the last five years—and some residents are starting to feel burned. The city-state has seen record-breaking real estate transactions as more and more people come to live there, and its state-owned airline Emirates is booking record earnings. But all that growth comes with strains for the city's population. Traffic feels worse than ever on Dubai's roads. The price of housing continues to spike even with new real estate projects being announced almost daily. Caught in the middle are both its Emirati citizens and the vast population of foreigners who power its economy—sparking rare public expressions of concern. Under Dubai's current plans, the city aims to have 5.8 million residents by 2040, adding more than half its current estimated population in just 15 years. Since 1980, its population has already soared from around 255,000 to around 3.8 million. Real estate lit the fire in Dubai's growth in 2002 when the desert sheikdom began allowing foreigners to own property. After sharp falls during both the 2008-2009 financial crisis and Dubai's brief coronavirus lockdown, prices have been soaring. Traffic has only intensified with Dubai's new arrivals. For Dubai's autocratic government, overseen by ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, possible solutions to the grinding traffic have ranged from the practical to the fanciful. The government in recent months has repeatedly encouraged companies to allow more remote work options, including in a report released in November that also suggested staggered and flexible working hours. Dubai's road toll system, known as Salik, added gates to charge drivers more and instituted surge pricing at the end of January. Dubai's Metro will also grow beyond its broadly north-south routes in a nearly $5 billion expansion. “In the coming years, residents of Dubai will be able to move around by walking, cycling, its extensive network of roads and bridges, the Metro and its new lines, water taxis, or flying taxis on specific air routes,” Sheikh Mohammed said on X in December. But for now, Dubai keeps attracting more people and more cars—and the traffic jams only get longer. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on the downside to Dubai's popularity.

Warwick poet and musician D.K. Mckenzie presents excerpts from his spoken word and music podcast, The Poe Underground, in a Warwick Radio exclusive. In this episode, hear easily-consumed, original music and the poem September Midnight by Sara Teasdale and a suite of poems called Noir Night by D.K. Mckenzie. September Midnight Lyric night of the lingering Indian Summer, Shadowy fields that are scentless but full of singing, Never a bird, but the passionless chant of insects, Ceaseless, insistent. The grasshopper's horn, and far-off, high in the maples, The wheel of a locust leisurely grinding the silence Under a moon waning and worn, broken, Tired with summer. Let me remember you, voices of little insects, Weeds in the moonlight, fields that are tangled with asters, Let me remember, soon will the winter be on us, Snow-hushed and heavy. Over my soul murmur your mute benediction, While I gaze, O fields that rest after harvest, As those who part look long in the eyes they lean to, Lest they forget them. Noir Night Drenched sidewalks Neon lights blaze the night and then Jazz Takes over the shadows Dim candles burn over On that loose night While that smooth rain drops in Uninvited and unrestrained Mark the cars Mark the walls With those liquid clouds Now A band of fire trucks Races away towards the womb of the boulevard As that lonesome jazz plays As that tenor sax does play This is the type of music that must take place in heaven When wet streets reign and street lamps illuminate the desperate puddles below The bruised man With his sad horn Blasts and Wails Until the walls of night Vanish and the final hour of night Reaches its maximum limit Welcome to the African night Where jazz rules and drizzles Little nibbles of hurt, joy, and class On your soul All over your aching heart Let the jazz infuse you Let the warm jazz move in and through you Let the jazz compel you To ponder the enveloping shadows Visit The Poe Underground ⁠website⁠.

God's nature isn't that that forsake and abandon a man. Even at a point of human rejection and forgetfulness, God's love lifted up.

In today's episode, we dive into Gate 61, also known as the Mystery Solver in the realm of Human Design. Key Points: Gate 61 in Different Systems: Known as the Gate of Mystery, the Gate of Inner Truth, or the Gate of Wonder. In Gene Keys, it's referred to as the Holy of Holies and associated with the tropical sign of Capricorn. Energy and Essence: Represents the portal to inner truth and the mysteries of the universe. Driven by innate curiosity, transcending logical reasoning. Those with this gate active are deeply intuitive, valuing experiential wisdom. Shadow Aspect - Psychosis: Pressure to know why things are the way they are can lead to disorganized thinking. The shadow manifests as a fixation on a single answer, potentially leading to fanaticism. The extremities may result in disenchantment or delusional beliefs, disconnecting from reality. Balancing the Extremes: Finding a balance between external truths and inner wisdom. The danger of relying solely on external validation. The gift lies in embracing the shadow and transforming pressing questions into inspiration. Embodying the Gift - Inspiration: Tapping into moments of pure creativity, insight, and profound inner revelations. Differentiating between knowledge and wisdom. Detecting authenticity with a finely-tuned inner compass. Living in a state of awe and wonder, finding joy in life's complexities. Siddhi or Highest State - Sanctity: Elevating consciousness to a divine state, experiencing profound inner silence. Ceaseless mind questions dissolve, achieving oneness with the divine and the pure essence of reality. Utilizing the Gift in Business: Being a source of inspiration for others, particularly those with an undefined head. Acting as a beacon of inspiration and creativity in the tribe. As we explore Gate 61, the Mystery Solver, I encourage you to embrace the unknown, trust your inner truth, and find inspiration in the beauty of life's mysteries. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I look forward to connecting with you in the next episode when the sun transits into the next human design gate.

It's a (relatively) peaceful week in the FPL landscape this week. We still do our classic Gameweek Review and Captaincy segments this episode, but instead of the Dilemma Deliberations, we embark on a brief philosophical interlude regarding, among other things, Paul Tillich's ontology of courage and Henri Bergson's views on the connection between time and free will. We promise, it all connects back to FPL! Our favorite Jean-Paul Sartre makes a reappearance as well. Oh, and before all that, we tackle the Problem of God that has gripped Manchester United since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Pastor Matt McCarter shares on how God's voice remains present in the lives of His creation.

Jai Deva Sing notes at the end of Dharana 1 that there is an important interpretation of the Dharana still to be considered- that this is the essential teaching of the breath meditation practice “Ham Sah”. The recitation of Ham Sah is an exploration of the ceaseless pulsation of the Goddess Shakti in our lives, a way of observing the pulsation of reality. The meaning of the mantra can only be discovered by listening, by letting the breath move naturally as Shambhavananda and Muktananda teach, which we are taught is the path itself of this practice.Jai Deva Singh (commentary on Dharana 1): “There is another important interpretation of this dhärana.In inhalation, the sound of ha is produced; in exhalation, thesound sah is produced; at the junction point in the centre thesound of m is added. So the whole formula becomes 'Hamsah'.The paradevi goes on sounding this formula or mantra ceaselesslyin every living being.”Swami Lakshmanjoo commentary on Dharana 1:When you take your breath inside, the recitation of ‘ha' will end in ‘ṁ'. When you take it out, [the recitation of ‘sa'] will end in visarga–‘saḥ'. And, in these two starting points, if you concentrate, you will become one with Bhairava because of its fullness.”Swami Muktananda from his book “I am That “This is what we also need to understand. Hamsa is not a mantra that you merely repeat. What you have to do is become established in the awareness of the mantra going on inside you, in the goal of the mantra, in the pulsation which exists in the space where the syllables arise and subside…”Sri ShambhavAnanda on the practice of breath awareness: “Instead of forcibly trying to control your breath, develop the ability to experience and witness it. Follow your natural breath flow and attach it to the mantra “Ham Sah”. A person breathes approximately 26,000 times a day. If you can be aware of your inhalation and exhalation, you will make progress in meditation. When you can control your breath, you can control your mind. But first you have to become aware of the breath. Don't use any forceful practices. Make friends with your breath and be aware of what it is doing in different situations. When you have a certain experience such as fear, anger, or bliss, you will find that your breath will concentrate in a certain area. If you start to pay attention, you will gain some wisdom.”

Matthew 7:1-8 New American Standard Bible 1995 7 “Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2 For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, […]

In part II of this incredible episode with special guest Michael Cusick, we continue the deep dive into what lurks beneath the growing epidemic of porn addiction.  As Michael unpacks the 5 W's of our brokenness, we begin to see how our awareness and acceptance of both our brokenness and our wholeness and our willingness to simply hold these two in tension is exactly what God desires for our lives and leads to a freedom that perhaps we've never known.  Let's face it, the alternative is an exhausting, hamster wheel endeavor.  Take a listen and you'll see what we mean. Michael is a gifted speaker, teacher, and clinical counselor.  As the Founder and CEO of Restoring the Soul and renowned author of Surfing for God: Discovering the Divine Desire Beneath Sexual Struggle, Michael's personal story of brokenness is the very bridge God used to bring wholeness to his own life, as well as, what God continues to use to bring hope and healing to others.  DO NOT MISS THIS!Find us at:https://www.foxholesymphony.comhttps://www.facebook.com/foxholesymphonyhttps://www.instagram.com/foxholesymphony/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuvcXdDpE79S_D_hInblcDwMusic Credits:Shout by Richard SmithsonMusic from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/richard-smithson/shoutLicense code: QPQ5VPGJFPSB8OTNThrive by All Good FolksMusic from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/thriveLicense code: H2CHVYJ04BONRKSW

In this incredible episode with special guest Michael Cusick, we begin to take a deep dive into what lurks beneath the growing epidemic of porn addiction.  But wait, there's more!  Michael's perspective is one that is FULL OF HOPE for those afflicted with an addiction to acting out their sexual brokenness.   Let's just cut right to the end...if you want to get over porn, buy a pocket knife.  Well, not really, but listen in and it will all make sense.  Michael is a gifted speaker, teacher, and clinical counselor.  As the Founder and CEO of Restoring the Soul and renowned author of Surfing for God: Discovering the Divine Desire Beneath Sexual Struggle, Michael's personal story of brokenness is the very bridge God used to bring wholeness to his own life, as well as, what God continues to use to bring hope and healing to others.  DO NOT MISS THIS!  Here are just a few valuable nuggets from this episode:“It's the deceitful whisper of porn that says ‘THIS will make you a real man'”“Two things that seemingly contradict can actually be held side by side and in doing so there's a 3rd thing.  Wholeness doesn't simply contradict brokenness or result from ending the struggle of sin, but rather comes from allowing the darkness and the light to be there together.”“Freedom is not just freedom FROM something, but also moving TOWARD something.”“Transformational community is so critical because just like we're wounded in relationship, we also HEAL in relationship.”“Fighting against porn is a losing battle.  Rather than fighting against porn, let's fight for the heart of man to become whole.  That's a battle that can be won.”Find us at:https://www.foxholesymphony.comhttps://www.facebook.com/foxholesymphonyhttps://www.instagram.com/foxholesymphony/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuvcXdDpE79S_D_hInblcDwMusic Credits:Shout by Richard SmithsonMusic from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/richard-smithson/shoutLicense code: QPQ5VPGJFPSB8OTNThrive by All Good FolksMusic from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/thriveLicense code: H2CHVYJ04BONRKSW

Ceaseless flux. Those are words Ludwig von Mises used to describe the perpetual change in business conditions that entrepreneurs experience. The consequent need, he told us, is for a process of constant adjustment. The current word for that process is adaptation. Economics For Business talks to Luca Dellanna, a leading business expert who advises companies of all sizes on managing the challenge of continuous adaptation. Key Takeaways and Actionable Insights Adaptation is a necessary capacity of all businesses. Adaptation is a necessity. The marketplace changes, customers change, technology changes. Change is the norm. Firms that don't adapt will suffer and potentially die, so adaptation must become the norm for business. In complex systems theory, adaptation is the selection of strategies or actions that enhance survival or any other measure of success (or fitness, as its sometimes called) amidst swirling change. In business, adaptation means choosing your degree and pace of change. Change will be externally imposed if it is not internally embraced. Businesses can influence the level of change impact. They can critically examine their mental models, and assess their products, processes, beliefs, and people, to evaluate their fitness for adapting to market change. To avoid change being imposed from outside the firm — to avoid negative natural selection, in the evolutionary metaphor – all layers of the firm must embrace change, and proactively adapt. Eliminate unfit products and processes, pursue the development of new ones that are better adapted, and upgrade people resources through thoughtful hiring and active learning. Adaptation is different than responsiveness — it's embracing harm. We talk a lot about a business's responsiveness to customer wants and preferences, especially when those preferences are fluid and incompletely articulated and require interpretation. Responsiveness is critical — but it's different from adaptation. It's response to an external signal. Adaptiveness is embracing change inside the firm. Luca Dellanna has a striking way of communicating this: he advises his clients to deliberately expose themselves to what he calls “harm” — new problems never before encountered. The exposure must not be to a problem that could overwhelm the firm, but one that can be addressed at a subsidiary level or component level or via adjustment in a shared mental model. Luca calls this “small harm” — specific problems (e.g., the price of a product or service compared to the customer's willingness to pay). Proactively probe the problem, e.g., in a high pricing test, generate feedback and actively use the learning to adapt. Another word for “small harm” is stressors: situations that put stress on the firm. Set up systems to seek out these stressors so that adaptation is deliberate, and can be enculturated, rather than wait for a crisis that requires an emergency response. Lack of discomfort is a problem to avoid. Identify the leading indicators that describe the conditions that will change the future. Lagging indicators — such as revenue — are metrics that describe the past. There are leading indicators available such as number of customer contacts (describing what the pipeline might look like in the future), and satisfaction scores (describing future repeat sales). Luca recommends pairing one lagging indicator with one leading indicator to develop a metrics system. This is not the same as popular consultant-proposed metrics systems such as OKR (Objectives and Key Results). Objectives are not leading indicators. The best leading indicators are behaviors, because these can be easily adjusted if observed to be in need of change. Falling behind on objectives does not yield an actionable response if not linked to a causal factor. Inadequate behaviors (e.g., conducting a sales call without following the proven process) can be addressed, especially if they are clearly linked to positive outcomes. This is the same principle as Amazon's focus on what they call controllable inputs, and Amazon knows a lot about driving business growth. There are several strategies to pursue adaptation. Redundancy (having more than needed): A focus on efficiency and “no waste” can be detrimental to adaptation if it leaves no resources for experimentation and exploration. Employees need time to work on new things, not just on current tasks and issues. Bottom-up initiatives: Central command and control can't run everything, anticipate every harm, or plan every experiment. Ensure entrepreneurial empowerment of front-line employees and functions so that they can initiate learning. Avoid game-over: In experimenting, calibrate the risk to ensure that a negative result is not overwhelming, and, in regular operations, be aware of any possibility of a major crisis — a Black Swan event — and be sure that it will not destroy the firm or deliver a setback from which it will be hard to recover. Never stop exploring, in a culture of anti-fragility. Nassim Nicholas Taleb famously coined the term “anti-fragile”. The company that has the most well-developed capacity to learn from problems and harm is the most anti-fragile. The culture of anti-fragility is always to surface problems when they are encountered and address them at the source. Luca stresses that culture is built when everyone in the company can see a consistent set of actions in which the trade-offs of addressing problems are consistent with the stated vision. For example, a culture of safe operations will be reinforced when safety precautions are taken even when the cost, in time or money or both, is high. The leading indicator is that every individual and every operation and sub-operation is following safe practices, and that the company readily commits resources when a new safety procedure or installation is proven to be effective. If the trade-off is made that the new procedure is effective but too expensive to install, the culture will be punctured because the company has acted contrary to its declared vision.
