Is Your Grind Stealing Your Grace? | Season 3, Ep. 37

November 27, 2024 • 16 mins

Watch: https://youtu.be/r8h0I3qt5YU In this episode, we explore how the relentless pursuit of productivity and success can disconnect us from God’s presence. Inspired by Jeremiah 17:5-8, we compare the dry, brittle life of self-reliance to the thriving, fruitful life that comes from trusting in God. Reading Plan Passages 1 Chronicles 24- 25 1 Peter 5 Micah 3 Psalm 104 Main Points: The Danger of the Grind: Striving in our own strength leads to exhaustion and spiritual dryness. Trust in God: Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, thriving like a tree planted by water. Moving from Grinding to Flowing: Pause for God’s Presence: Practical ways to incorporate stillness with God into daily life. Daily Re-Surrender: Trusting God with your work, dreams, and struggles. Root Yourself in the Word: Staying connected to God through Scripture. A Personal Story: The Ordered Chaos Club journey and lessons on surrendering our "alabaster boxes" to God. Practical Takeaways: Start your day with silence before God. Use a timer to take presence walks or short moments of gratitude. Keep a surrender journal to remind yourself of what you’ve placed in God’s hands. Root yourself in Scripture through meditation, memorization, and music. Reflection Questions: Are you holding onto something so tightly that you’re missing God’s purpose for it? What would it look like for you to re-surrender your grind to God?
