Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.
Proverbs 16:3 NIV
Jesus said he was here to do the will of the Father.
He committed his plans to Yahweh, especially when it got hard - when Jesus was in Gethsemane and would've happily given the mission away...he said I'll roll what I want to do back to God the Father, and let Him establish the plan...
And with that, salvation came.
Hope came.
In God's time.
God's plans were established when Jesus committed his stuff to the Father...and so should we...sometimes the energy we need for that is found when we get together in community, in church, to connect with our Heavenly Father, to (re)commit our stuff, to Him, to give Him the freedom to work out His purposes in and thru our lives...

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
