This is a post from a couple of years ago. It seemed relevant considering the state of our world.assis
I was blessed to be on some pretty good college basketball teams during my days at Ohio Northern University, but none better than the team we had in my final year. We had amazing chemistry as teammates that year because we believed in and trusted each other (i.e., we protected each other’s backs). Most importantly, we had confidence in our unique gifts and abilities as basketball players.
When the going got tough, we pulled through by relying on the critical elements of the chemistry that bound us together: belief, trust, and confidence.
I can say the same about my high school basketball team and the executive team I had while I was President of HealthCare Pharmacy.
The above trip down memory lane rolled through my mind as I did a morning devotional a few days ago.
The scripture was focused on Jeremiah 17:7-9, “Most blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is.”
During this time of high-level uncertainty, it is vital to believe, trust, and put our confidence in the One who is confident and all-knowing.
Where do your belief, trust, and confidence lie these days–self, others, or God?
Said differently, with whom do you rely to assist you in navigating these choppy waters peacefully?
If you feel your “chemistry” is off, I’m guessing you put too much belief, trust, and confidence in the world.
Psalm 121:1-2, “I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from God, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.” (MSG)
