Sit in the Chair
Some verses to reflect on what you and God bring to the "table."
The next step is to dive into the scriptures that back up these principles. With each scripture ask yourself:
What does God bring?
and
What do I desire?
Exodus 15:26
Psalm 103
Matthew 11:29
1 John 4:7, 16

Why Crazy?
The soul is who you are. It is your very essence.
Not your body, because you’ll lose that.
Not your mind, because you’ll lose that 2.
Your soul is the core of who you are.
Your soul is alive!! It living and needs nourishment, care and love. It requires nurture through an authentic connection with God. Through that nurturing connection, our souls receive rest, healing, strength and power for transformation.
We are being surrounded by crazy distractions. Things crawling for our attention. Things spinning out of control that are screaming at us to pay attention to it. What kind of things are on your mind?
(parents losing jobs, trying find summer jobs, out of control friends or siblings, sense of loss, tempting decisions, loss of faith, numbness and ways to numb the numbness)
We are bombarded with so many crazy things and we don’t have control over any of it. The control we do have is not on the external, but the internal. How are you taking care of your soul? How do those connections with God happen? That is what this summer is all about. Getting back to the root of who you are in this crazy world - your soul.
God has given us a way of life that he modeled through Jesus. Crazy stuff was going on with Jesus and yet his soul was so filled up by the father that he was at peace. His soul was rich and in the end that is what we are longing for - completeness. Filled up (not hollow).
Isaiah promises this: IS 40:28-31
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Your soul is either healthy or neglected.
So I leave you with this: What is your soul crying out for?
“Once we clearly acknowledge the soul, we can learn to hear its cries.” - Dallas Willard, Renovation of the Heart.
