Life Lessons from Jeremiah Pt. 7: Real Spiritual Warfare By Louie Marsh, 6-14-2026   1) Ever felt like God has TRICKED you?   "7O Lord, you have deceived me, and I was deceived; you are stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all the day; everyone mocks me.  8For whenever I speak, I cry out, I shout, "Violence and destruction!" For the word of the Lord has become for me a reproach and derision all day long.  (Jeremiah 20:7–8, ESV)   "6know then that God has put me in the wrong and closed his net about me." (Job 19:6, ESV)   then know that God has wronged me and drawn his net around me.  (Job 19:6, NIV) . 2) If I'm called by God, I must ANSWER that call.    9If I say, "I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name," there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot.  (Jeremiah 20:9, ESV)   "16For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with a stewardship. 18What then is my reward? That in my preaching I may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel." (1 Corinthians 9:16–18, ESV)   3) Doubt & fear work to DESTROY me.    10For I hear many whispering. Terror is on every side! "Denounce him! Let us denounce him!" say all my close friends, watching for my fall. "Perhaps he will be deceived; then we can overcome him and take our revenge on him."  (Jeremiah 20:10, ESV)   4) But God will OVERCOME them.   11But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten. 12O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you have I committed my cause.  (Jeremiah 20:11-12, ESV)   5) I must WORSHIP Him for delivering me.    13Sing to the Lord; praise the Lord! For he has delivered the life of the needy from the hand of evildoers.  (Jeremiah 20:13, ESV)   6) Be PREPARED for the struggle to continue.    14Cursed be the day on which I was born! The day when my mother bore me, let it not be blessed! 15Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, "A son is born to you," making him very glad. 16Let that man be like the cities that the Lord overthrew without pity; let him hear a cry in the morning and an alarm at noon, 17because he did not kill me in the womb; so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb forever great. 18Why did I come out from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame?" (Jeremiah 20:14–18, ESV)   "3He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted." (Isaiah 53:3–4, ESV)  

At the bottom of all that weighs us down is the curse of sin that infested creation. Jesus defeated the darkness so we don’t have to. Instead, we come by faith trusting the glorious sufficiency of His atoning death. Worship Him!

The cannibals! You will be eaten by cannibals! That was the warningJohn G. Patonreceived when he announced his call to take the gospel to the New Hebrides. An older man in his churchknown simply as Mr. Dicksontried to dissuade him. From a human standpoint, the concern was understandable. Patons ministry in Glasgow was thriving. Hundreds gathered each week, lives were being changed, and the work was fruitful. Why would anyone leave such a place? The New Hebrides were known as one of the most dangerous mission fields in the world. Just nineteen years earlier, in 1839, missionariesJohn WilliamsandJames Harrishad landed there and were killed within hours. Their deaths were still fresh in the minds of many, and the opposition Paton faced came not from enemies of the gospel, but from concerned Christian friends. Reflecting on this moment, Paton later wrote, The opposition was so strong from nearly all that I was sorely tempted to question whether I was carrying out the Divine will This also caused me much anxiety, and drove me close to God in prayer. Paton replied to Dicksons warning: Mr. Dickson, you are advanced in years now, and your own prospect is soon to be laid in the grave, there to be eaten by worms; I confess to you, that if I can but live and die serving and honoring the Lord Jesus, it will make no difference to me whether I am eaten by Cannibals or by worms; and in the Great Day my Resurrection body will rise as fair as yours in the likeness of our risen Redeemer. The danger was real, the opposition was understandable, and the cost was highbut Paton was convinced that Christ was worthy, even there. When Paton arrived in the New Hebrides in 1858, the cost became immediate. Within weeks of landing on the island of Tanna, his wife, Mary, and their newborn son both died of fever. Paton buried them with his own hands and even slept on their grave to protect it. It would have been understandable for him to leave. Yet he did not abandon his calling. For over forty years, he labored among those islands, convinced that Christ was worthy and that even the hardest soil was not beyond the reach of Gods saving power. Patons story did not end with his life. It helped fuel a missionary movement. The gospel did not stop in the New Hebrides; it continued to spread across the Pacific, eventually reaching places likePapua New Guinea, where the cost remained high and the danger real. Even today, the fruit of that gospel work remains. Why would a man risk everything for such a mission? Paton went because he believed Christ was worthy of whatever sacrifice it would cost to bring the gospel to those who had never heardeven at the risk of his own life. Revelation 5:610 shows us why. The Lion is a Lamb (v. 6) Remember what the scroll represents. In Revelation 5:14, Johns attention turns to a scroll in the right hand of Goda scroll that contains His sovereign plan to judge evil, redeem His people, and restore all creation from the curse of sin. It is held securely by the One who rules history with perfect authority. Within it lies the full scope of redemptive history: Gods judgments, the vindication of suffering saints, the defeat of sin and death, and the final restoration of all thingsincluding the new heaven and new earth. It holds both justice and hopethe outpouring of Gods wrath on evil and the fulfillment of His promises to save, dwell with, and rejoice over His people forever. But as a mighty angel asks, Who is worthy to open the scroll?, a crisis unfolds. No one in heaven, on earth, or under the earth is found worthy, and John begins to weep. And rightly sobecause if the scroll remains sealed, Gods promises go unfulfilled, sin goes undefeated, and redemption never reaches its goal. At that moment, everything hangs in the balance. Then a voice breaks the silence: Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered (v. 5). The answer is not found in human strength or angelic power, but in a personthe promised King, the fulfillment of every promise of God, the One who alone has the right to redeem. And it is this Lionthis conquering Kingthat John turns to see. Yet when he turns, he is confronted with something utterly unexpected. Between the throne and the four living creatures stands a Lamb as though it had been slain. The promised Lion reveals Himself as the sacrificial Lamb of God. Victory has not come through crushing Gods enemies but through the crushing of the Son of God, who willingly and obediently went to the cross like a lamb that is led to the slaughter (Isa. 53:7), bearing the iniquities of sinners. What John sees is not a contradiction but the key to everything. The Lion has conqueredbut He has conquered as a Lamb. He stands triumphant, bearing the marks of the cross. John understood what this meant, and we must understand it as well:the One who is worthy is the One who has given Himself for you. However, John not only sees a Lambhe sees a Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes. In Scripture, horns symbolize power and kingship, and seven signifies divine completeness. This Lamb possesses perfect, sovereign authority. His seven eyes represent complete divine wisdom and perception, corresponding to the sevenfold Spirit of God sent out into all the earth. Nothing escapes His sight, and no judgment exceeds His wisdom. These are not random detailsthey are a testimony. The One who stands at the center of the throne is not merely a symbol of sacrifice but the One of whom Jeremiah spoke: Yahweh our Righteousness (Jer. 23:6). He is the Lion of Judah, the Lamb who was slain, and the sovereign Lord over all. Yet this is not all that John sees and experiences. The Lion who is a Lamb is also the Redeemer. The Lamb is the Redeemer (vv. 7-8) This Lamb is worthy not only because of who He is but also because of what He has done. The Lamb is the Redeemer. In the Old Testament, a kinsman-redeemer was a family member who could step in when everything had been lost. But not just anyone could serve as a redeemerhe had to be a close relative by blood, possess the resources necessary to redeem, and be willing to do so. That is why Boaz could redeem Ruth, yet Boaz was only a shadow of a greater Redeemer to come. Naomi had lost everythingher husband, her sons, and her security. The land that belonged to her family was in danger of being lost forever. But Boaz, as a relative, stepped in. He had the means and was willing. By marrying Ruth, he redeemed the land, restored the family, and provided an heir. What was lost was restored, and what was empty was made full. But what humanity needed most was not merely the restoration of what was lostwe needed the reversal of the curse, reconciliation with the God we sinned against, and the renewal of all things. When Adam sinned, all was ruinedsin entered the world, death followed, and creation fell under the curse of his rebellion. What was needed was a true and better Redeemerone who could stand in the place of fallen humanity and restore what had been lost. This is what makes Jesus worthy to open the scroll. He became one of us so that He could be the Kinsman-Redeemer we need. He has the power to redeem because He is fully God. His willingness to redeem was demonstrated in that He embraced the cross, bearing our sin and becoming our curse. That is why, in Revelation 5, He steps forward and takes the scrollbecause He alone meets every requirement.He alone is the Kinsman-Redeemer. Through His incarnation, Jesus shares in our humanity. Through His divine Sonship, He possesses infinite authority as One equal with the Father. Through His willing sacrifice, He demonstrates beyond question His desire to redeem.The wounds of the Lamb are the proof of His willingnessand the scroll in His hand is the declaration of His worthiness. Now, do not miss what happens in verse 8! Upon taking the scroll, the four living creatureswhose appearance represents the created orderfall before the Lamb in worship. The same creatures who, in the previous chapter, declared of the One on the throne, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come (4:8) now fall before the Lamb to worship Him! And if that were not enough, the twenty-four eldersrepresenting the people of God in both the Old and New Testamentsalso fall before the Lamb in worship. How do we know they worship Him? Because they serve Himoffering songs to Him and presenting the prayers of His people before Him. They fall before the Lamb because He is the One who stands as our High Priest. For all of Scripture testifies, Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Heb. 4:14-16) Do not miss the significance of this moment. InExodus20, God commands: You shall not make for yourself an idol You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God (Exod. 20:45; BSB). Worship belongs to God alone. All of Scripture is clearno created thing is worthy of worship. Yet in Revelation5, all creationrepresented by the living creaturesfalls before the Lamb. The elders fall before the Lamb. Heaven itself erupts in worship directed to the Lamb. What does this mean? It means the Lamb is not merely part of creationHe is the reason creation exists. The Lamb whom heaven worships is the One Scripture testifies to: For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authoritiesall things were created through Him and for Him (Col. 1:16). The Lamb is not a created beingHe is the Creator. And the worship given to Him is the worship that belongs to God alone! The Redeemer is Worthy (vv. 9-10) The moment the Lamb takes the scroll, heaven erupts in worship. Instantly, the four living creatures fall down in awe before the Lamb. The twenty-four elderswho had already surrendered their crowns before the thronenow bow in reverence, presenting the prayers of the saints as a fragrant offering to the Lamb. A new song breaks forthnot a song of anticipation, but of accomplishment: Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth. (vv. 9-10) This is not a song of anticipation, but one of accomplishment! The Lamb is worthy because He was slain so that a people undeserving of the mercy of God could be ransomed for God. The Berean Standard Bible translates this verse this way: Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. The Lamb is worthy because He alone can restore to redeemed humanity all that was lost through Adam, serving as the true and greater Adam who brings full restoration and hope to those He has saved. Dear brothers and sisters, our worthy Redeemer did not stop there. Sinners are not merely rescuedthey are restored. We are not only forgivenwe are brought near. You are not only savedyou are given purpose, identity, and a future. All who are redeemed by the Lamb have been made a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth. In this moment, all of heaven is united in awe. The question that brought John to tears finds its answernot in an explanation, but in the person of Jesus. The scroll will be opened, history will unfold as God intends, and redemption will reach its glorious fulfillment. Jesus Christthe Lion of Judah and the slain Lambis worthy to redeem, restore, and reign forever. The question of heaven was asked: Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?And the answer is clear: Jesus is worthy because He was slain. Jesus is worthy because He has redeemed. Jesus is worthy because He reigns. So how do you turn your eyes from worthless things (Ps. 119:37)? You turn from what is worthless to the One who is worthynot only of the worship of heaven, but of all of you. He is worthy of your attention. He is worthy of your obedience. He is worthy of your trust. Some of you are clinging to things that cannot save, cannot redeem, and will not last. But there is One who was slain, who has redeemed, and who now reigns. He alone is worthy. So turn to Him. Trust Him. Worship Him. Follow Him. One day every knee will bow before Himso bow before Him now, while you still have time. Today is the day of salvation.

In this Palm Sunday message we reflect on the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, the crowd's shouts of "Hosanna," and the question, "Who is this?" We examine Jesus as prophet, healer, and Lord, consider the three responses people had in the crowd (worshipers, observers, fair-weather fans), and challenge listeners to walk with Jesus, worship Him, and surrender their lives. The sermon closes with an invitation to commit to Jesus by admitting need, believing, and confessing Him as Lord. Who is This?!? Matthew 21:8-17  Introduction “It was an Incredible Day!” Main Idea :Who Jesus is to you (personally) matters eternally. Who is this? Jesus — “Yahweh saves” “The prophet from Nazareth in Galilee” The Healer The Messiah Hosanna = “Save us now!” Son of David = “You're the King we've been waiting for.” Riding on a donkey = Zechariah's prophecy fulfilled. The Trilemma: Palm Sunday forces the question, “Is Jesus Lord, Liar, or Lunatic?” The real issue is not just who Jesus is in general, but who He is to you. Where are you in that crowd? Worshipper ¨  Cynic                              ¨  Scoffer Observer ¨  Roman Soldier           ¨  Pharisee Fair‑weather Fan   Conclusion and Invitation Everyone in that crowd had an opinion about Jesus, but only one response was right: total surrender.   Don't just watch Jesus pass by. Walk with Him. Worship Him. Surrender to Him. Because who Jesus is to you (personally) matters eternally.   Find other Podcasts, Sermon Notes and the Bulletin here. https://www.mvcnaz.org/live Stay in touch with our Church Center App at https://www.mvcnaz.org/churchcenter Contact us through our CONNECT form at https://www.mvcnaz.org/connect   With Pastor Mike Curry.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. SUMMARY This episode explores what it truly means to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. The discussion centers on surrendering to Christ's authority, aligning with His purposes, and allowing Him to manifest His Kingdom through a yielded people. The family emphasizes that worship is not merely singing, but presenting our lives as living sacrifices. True Kingdom alignment is revealed when believers continue loving, trusting, and walking with God regardless of circumstances. The ultimate question remains: Is God enough? SHOW NOTES Seeking first the Kingdom means living under Christ's authority.Righteousness is alignment with His will, not self-effort.The Kingdom has been present since Christ introduced it and is now being manifested.The Kingdom is revealed through humility and surrendered vessels.We do not bring the Kingdom; we align with His purposes and allow Him to work.Worship is the purest expression of seeking the Kingdom.Worship is not just singing—it is presenting our bodies as living sacrifices.The greatest worship is loving God regardless of circumstance.True commitment says, “I will walk with God whether I live or die.”Overcoming comes through the blood of the Lamb, our testimony, and loving not our lives unto death.The love of the Lord is unchanging and unfathomable.God completes what He begins.The central question: Is God enough in every situation? KEY QUOTES “If He's King, then He's in authority, and whatever He speaks, that we do.”“We don't bring the Kingdom; we align our spirits with His purposes.”“The greatest worship you and I can give is when, in spite of everything we go through, we say, ‘Yes, I love You.'”“Is God enough for you? Worship Him.”“To love Him is His perfect will.”“There has to be that thing in your spirit that says, ‘I'm going to walk with God regardless if I live or die.'”“The love of the Lord is the key.”“What He has begun, He will complete.” SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES Matthew 6 (33)– Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.Matthew 11 (12)– The Kingdom suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.Romans 12 (1)– Present your bodies a living sacrifice, your spiritual service of worship.Revelation 12 (11)– Overcome by the blood of the Lamb, the word of testimony, and loving not our lives unto death.Hebrews 12 (2)– Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.Psalm 22 (3)– He dwells in the praises of His people.Jeremiah 31 (33)– I will write My law on their hearts.Philippians 1 (6)– He who began a good work in you will complete it. TAKEAWAY Seeking first the Kingdom is not about activity—it is about surrender. When we worship, yield, and love God regardless of circumstances, we align with His purposes and allow His Kingdom to be manifested through us. The question every believer must answer is simple but profound: Is God enough?

I was talking to a young man at a Christian ministers' gathering a few weeks ago, and I asked him what position he held in the church where he served.  He said he was a “worship leader.”  I asked him what he meant, which seemed to throw him off a little bit.  He hesitated as he explained his position, and I said, to clear up the discussion, “You mean you're a musician?”  He breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and then began to talk about his work and background.  It was a little awkward, I think, as the term ‘worship leader' is usually ascribed to the music leader in a church.  We had a good discussion, though, and all ended well.  He seemed to be a fine young man, and probably does well.             The awkwardness was probably sensed more by me, as one of my pet peeves in the modern church is the oft-stated idea that “worship” is the musical part of a church service.  It sounds good, and most people don't question it, but defining “worship” as “music in a service” is a misguided understanding of the biblical teaching on worship in the Christian life.              The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the church at Rome, mentioned the practice of worship in the context of Discipleship.  He said this, “I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”  12:1-2   You can see from this passage that Paul understood the concept of worship to be the whole of one's Christian experience; it is something you do, of course, when you gather in a Christian service, but it is, more importantly, a lifestyle that the Christian is to take on as he or she chooses to follow Jesus, every day.              Paul explains what a life of worship entails:   “present your bodies:”  When one ‘gives' their body to God, or ‘presents' their body to God, it invokes the memory of the old practice of taking an infant to the temple in the Jewish faith, and presenting the child's body as a ‘gift' to God.  Not only was it a way for the parents to commit to God to raise the child in faith, but it was also a way to birth and nurture the child's faith and help that child grow in the years to come.  When one matures  and makes a conscious decision to follow Jesus as Savior, he “presents” his body for service to God; it is a way of saying to God, “I am yours.”   “a living and holy sacrifice:”  Again, this refers to the common Jewish practice of making a sacrifice to God, out of love and devotion to Him.  In this passage, though, the sacrifice is not a dead animal or grain but the believer's gift of their time and energies in following Jesus.  When you sacrifice your life:  your time and energies, abilities, even monies, that is a ‘holy' gift to God, set aside for his service.  This is worship!   “acceptable to God:” A life lived in faithful obedience to God is the ‘gift' that pleases Him!  He is not looking for perfection, of course; he looks for obedience and faith, and the willingness to serve Him, in any and every way.  Again, this is part of a ‘life of worship.'   “reasonable service of worship:”  The word Paul uses here is literally “logical,” and not just “spiritual.”  In other words, after receiving Jesus as Savior and committing one's life to His service, it is logical and truly spiritual to live for Him!  For the believer, a life without faith, service, and self-sacrifice is not spiritual, and it surely makes no sense at all.  What you have in Jesus is just that good, and life-changing!             This is just a small part of the biblical discussion of worship, to be sure.  Worship is a life of faith-service to God; it entails literally everything you do, as it all “proclaims” the faith that is in you, and brings glory to the God who saved you.  Worship Him!             Please, join us in this grand endeavor; People need Jesus!   The best way you can support our ministry is by sharing this video with your friends and family!  

Those who rule may advance against you but God will demonstrate His love for you as your protector. He Himself is the fortress, the impenetrable wall of safety behind which you rest. Know that He will not let you down. Worship Him and trust Him to keep you safe – regardless of what you face. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Our Creator, Savior, and Sustainer assures us, not only that He is our compassionate Father, but that our salvation is entirely His doing."Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you may not grow weary and lose heart."Hebrews 12:1-3Interestingly enough, this time through Leviticus —the most law-concentrated book, at least in my mind —God assures us five times: "I am the Lord who sanctifies."Eleven times in the Bible, He explicitly tells us He is the one who sanctifies.

Every disciple will face it—the season when prayer feels dry. The words seem to bounce off the ceiling. The emotions fade. Silence replaces the nearness you once felt. In those moments, it's tempting to think God has left or that you've failed. But dry prayer seasons are not the end of intimacy with God. They are invitations to press deeper, to move from feelings into faith, and to discover that prayer is not built on emotion but on commitment.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.” — James 1:12 (ESV)Dryness in prayer doesn't mean God is absent—it often means He is drawing you into a deeper level of trust. Just as a good teacher is quiet during the test, sometimes the Father allows silence to strengthen your perseverance.Here's how to overcome those seasons:* Anchor in the Word. When prayer feels empty, lean heavily on Scripture. Pray it, read it aloud, and let it guide your heart when words are hard to find.* Stay consistent. Don't abandon your prayer time because it feels unfruitful. Faithfulness in the dry place builds maturity.* Shift the focus. Instead of asking, “What am I getting from prayer?” ask, “What am I giving to God in prayer?” Worship Him for who He is, not just for what you feel.* Invite the Spirit. Romans 8:26 reminds us that the Spirit intercedes when we don't know what to pray. Trust His strength when yours runs out.Every relationship goes through seasons. If your marriage or friendships were only fueled by emotion, they wouldn't last. It's commitment that carries them through. The same is true with God. Dry prayer seasons refine your love, proving it's rooted in covenant, not convenience.Don't quit in the silence. Often, it's just before breakthrough that the silence breaks.Question of the Day:How do you usually respond when prayer feels dry—do you pull back, or press in?Mini Call to Action:Commit today to remain faithful in prayer this week, even if you feel nothing. Write down one Scripture to pray daily until joy returns.Prayer:Lord, help me remain steadfast when prayer feels dry. Remind me that You are near even in silence. Strengthen my faith to press in, trust deeper, and continue seeking You with persistence.Let's Get To Work!Dry seasons don't last—but faithful disciples do. Keep praying. Keep pressing. The well will flow again.Thanks for reading My Reasons To Believe! This post is public so feel free to share it.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

This episode explores the spiritual habit of solitude—slowing a racing mind by following Jesus' example of intentional, regular time alone with the Father. The sermon explains why we must stop anxious striving, be still, and let God refill us so we can pour out to others. Practical steps are offered: find a quiet place, disconnect from distractions, and build consistent, intentional rhythms of prayer, silence, and Scripture to restore your heart and renew your life. ---- Habits of a Healthy Heart—3 Practice Solitude: The Habit of Slowing Mark 1:35-37   Introduction: What do you do when your mind won't stop? Ecclesiastes 2:22-23 – “anxious striving” There is no such thing as intimacy without intentionality. You can't busy your way to God. Mark 1:35-37 Jesus Withdrew: Before starting His ministry. Luke 4:1-2, 14-15 Before making important decisions. Luke 6:12-13 After a long, hard day of work. Matthew 14:23 After ministering to lots of people. Luke 5:15-16 After losing a close friend. Matthew 14:10-13 You can't continue to pour out if you don't fill up. Psalm 46:10 Jesus came to give you abundant John 10:10 You can't give what you don't have. Practice the Spiritual Habit of Slowing (Solitude) Matthew 5:5 MSG Seek God in His Word. Listen for what God says. Journal what God shows you.  Reflect on His faithfulness. Worship Him for who He is and what He's done. Stay in His presence for as long as you can.

“Delivered by Emmanuel” Daniel 3 June 8, 2025 Pastor John Choi   ----more---- Daniel 3:14 and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up? [15] Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?” [16] Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. [17] If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty's hand. [18] But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” [24] Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren't there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?” They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.” [25] He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.” [26] Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, [27] and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them. [28] Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king's command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.     Worship Him who alone is able—and has indeed—delivered us: Jesus Christ, Emmanuel.           I.  Who will you worship? (1-14)          II.  Who will deliver you? (15-23)         III.  Who is with you? (24-30)
