Part 4 of a series. See Part 1 here, Part 2 here, and Part 3 here. 

Scripture

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. – Ephesians 3:14-19

Part 3 of a series. See Part 1 here and Part 2 here. 

Quotations

Honor the Lord with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.

- Proverbs 3:9-10 (NKJV) 

Take a look at how you spend an average week. Who gets the best of you? I’m not asking who gets the most of you—the most time, the most attention. Your family and work likely get that. But who gets the best of you?

– Mark Buchanan, Spiritual Rhythm: Being with Jesus Every Season of Your Soul

Finding Christ When You’re Busy, Part 2 (Scholar’s Compass)

The Widow's Mite - Luke 21:1-4
The Widow’s Mite – Luke 21:1-4

Part 2 of a series. See Part 1 here. 

Quotation

Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much. Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a quadrans. So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury; for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.” – Mark 12:41-44

Finding Christ When You’re Busy, Part 1 (Scholar’s Compass)

In a series starting today, I’ll be exploring what it means to find Christ when you’re busy. I promise the posts will be short for busy readers. For those who are even more busy, I’ll put the Take Homes at the top of each post. 🙂 I’m indebted to this series by Marc Alan Schelske on spiritual growth while you’re busy for getting me thinking about this earlier this year.

Quotation

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. – Matthew 11:28 (ESV)
