If God is your co-pilot, switch seats
Many in southeast Cincinnati (and elsewhere!) have high regard for Pastor Roger Green from St. Timothy’s Episcopal. A dear friend forwarded Roger’s “When Our Own Resources Come to an End.” blog post. Roger’s remarks really resonate – here’s one quote to tantalize you into spending an extra couple minutes reading the whole thing (HERE)…

Or we can realize that we are not self-sufficient and need help from a source greater than we are. If we choose the second path, we begin a journey into a way of life full of a new-found freedom.
Roger mentions several specific “life breaks down” moments. For many of us, life breaks down each and every morning when we don’t begin it early on with a little Christian activity: prayer, Bible reading, song, devotional readings, …
POTENTIAL ACTIONS:
- Find a time during the day when it’s commonplace for you to make a decision on your own. Stop. Take a pause. Ask God to “switch seats” with you for a moment. Where do you feel led? [NOTE: this may not work the first time, but it’s sure fun to try!]
- Interested in a song today? HERE is a song by Michael Card called “God’s Own Fool” When have people said about you “s(he) must have been out of her(his) mind!”
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
