Day Five-August 21

How has your week gone?!

It's hard to believe that just a week ago, we were gathering together to kickoff JumpStart Weekend! Stephen Maxwell was leading us in worship; David Skidmore delivered his first keynote about keeping our eyes peeled open and looking for what the Lord is doing all around us. As it says in Philippians 4:8: FOCUS on these things....

This is where in fact, we got the analogy of keeping our eyes open for the "Pizza Planet Truck". If we blink...we will miss it!

Philippians 4:8 says:
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

So what have you seen this week? Have you seen the figurative "Pizza Planet Truck"? That is, the Lord working this week in your life? Have you seen Him doing something around you, or your friends, or your family, and you just knew that had to be of the LORD?! Only that could have came from God! If so...we'd love to hear about it!!

As David said last Friday: "What you train your eyes to notice completely changes how you experience the whole story."

"Most people go through LIFE and totally MISS WHAT GOD IS DOING around them."

"Just because YOU didn’t see God working doesn’t mean He isn’t moving."

"Just because YOU didn’t notice the truck, doesn’t mean it isn’t there."

It's very easy. to get distracted and miss "the Truck"...
It's very easy to get distracted and miss what the Lord is doing.

Paul says the same thing about the joy, purpose, and presence of Christ. It's easy to get so caught up in our every day lives, we miss what Jesus is trying to show us.

So again, just like David challenged us, I challenge you,
FOCUS ON THESE THINGS:

I pray you have a great Friday, and an even better weekend, friend. But most importantly: I pray you don't miss these things Paul told us to focus on. I pray we don't miss "the Truck".
