Weekend in the Word
|
Reader, I’ve been pondering a simple question this week: How do we return when life has crowded out the space we once guarded for God? Not because we stopped loving Him, but because life got loud, rhythms got disrupted, and before we knew it, what once felt protected began to feel crowded. And maybe the deeper question underneath that is this: How do we slow down enough to sit in surrender? I think it begins by recognizing that sometimes the greatest noise is not around us, but within us. The inner noise of worry, unfinished tasks, disappointments, and distractions that quietly compete for our attention and derail our peace. And maybe the answer is simpler than we make it. Surrender again. This weekend, I want to give you one invitation, feast on the Word. Open your Bible. Read slowly. Let prayer rise naturally. Sit in silence for a few moments before the Lord. Rest. Reader, some things you are carrying cannot be solved this weekend, only surrendered. It may be time to release control, quiet your heart, and allow the Word to reset your mind to the mind of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 2:16, Paul reminds us, “But we have the mind of Christ.” In context, he is speaking about the Spirit helping believers discern the things of God in a way natural reasoning cannot. What a gift. When life feels noisy and our thoughts feel scattered, we are not left to process everything through anxiety or human understanding alone. In Christ, we can think with renewed perspective. So this weekend, let the Word steady your thoughts, quiet the inner noise, and lead you back into surrender. Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes being still is not passive at all. It is trust. So if your rhythms have been off, don’t spend this weekend trying to catch up. Just return. Silence the noise. Feed your soul. Sit in surrender. And let that be your reset.
P.S. As you prepare to spend time meditating on the Word this weekend, I’d encourage you to listen to this week’s teaching in 2 Thessalonians 1. We talk about enduring faith, suffering well, and how God uses even pressure to deepen perseverance. If your soul needs steadying, let it minister to you as you feast on the Word. |

Reader, There's something about the second week of anything that tells you the truth about whether you actually want it. The excitement of day one has settled. The newness has worn off just enough that showing up now costs something it didn't cost before. If you're here — reading this, journal open or on its way — that means something. Don't underestimate it. Last week, we sat with David on the floor of Psalm 51. We watched him reach for God not after he had gotten himself together, but...
Reader, June mornings have a particular quality to them — the light comes in slower, the day hasn't crowded in yet, and there's still a little room to breathe before the world catches up with you. I hope you're reading this in one of those moments. Today you’ll open Psalm 51 and begin. Before we go any further into this week, I want to give you something that will change how you read every Psalm in it. Psalm 51 was not written in a moment of spiritual inspiration. It was written in the...
Hey Reader, Before we open Psalm 51 on June 1, I want to tell you something about the people who wrote Psalms 51–100 — because context isn't just background information. Context is the thing that turns a beautiful verse into a living word that reaches into your actual life. Here's who you'll be hearing from over the next 60 days. David He opens this entire section — and he opens it on his knees. Psalm 51 is his repentance after Bathsheba and Uriah. Before you read a single word of it, know...
