00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.440
Welcome back it is season three and today we are going to take a posture of peace by doing things

2
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:14.000
a little bit differently this season. Posture is a short audible fist bump to remind you God is

3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.840
with you in everything. Together we're going to be emboldened to take a daily posture of perfect

4
00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:32.880
peace. In Psalm chapter 36 verses 7 through 9 it says, how precious is your steadfast love O God

5
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:41.440
the children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings they feast on the abundance of your

6
00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:52.400
house and you give them drink from the river of your delights for with you is the fountain of life

7
00:00:53.040 --> 00:01:01.680
in your light do we see light. In this season three of posture we're going to do things a

8
00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:07.760
little differently. Now up until this point posture has been a daily podcast and vlog

9
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:13.280
releasing episodes Monday through Friday every week and it has been a blast. I often get asked

10
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:19.520
about the daily workload you know about how much work it takes to produce a daily podcast and I

11
00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:24.400
won't lie it is a lot of work but in this last season of my life I've had the grace and the

12
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:29.760
capacity to do it so it's been a real joy even though it is a lot of work to pull off a daily

13
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:38.320
podcast. What I've wanted to highlight by doing a daily podcast is how knowing experiencing God

14
00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:46.480
is our fountain of life and it's a fountain that never runs dry. We can always draw on him every

15
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:53.280
day every moment he never runs out he is the solution for every problem we will ever face

16
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:58.960
and he is the answer to every question we will ever have. It's so important to seek him daily

17
00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:06.160
we can trust him and when we do we will be kept in perfect peace that's not an ideal or a concept

18
00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:13.440
that's a promise it's our kingdom reality and so for the last 100 episodes of posture we've all

19
00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:18.720
shown up together daily and we drew from this beautiful fountain of life and we're going to

20
00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:23.600
continue to do that every week but the format will look a little bit different moving forward.

21
00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:29.520
Instead of episodes releasing daily they're going to be released Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and

22
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:36.560
here's why. I'm entering a new season and I sense the Lord is asking me for some time and I don't

23
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:44.240
even know what that all means yet but I'm proactively setting aside time and I'm learning

24
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:50.320
I've been learning how to set my pace with the Lord not the pace of the expectations I place on

25
00:02:50.320 --> 00:02:56.240
myself or the expectations that others place on me but I want to set my pace to the Lord to his

26
00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:04.080
timing to his provision to his pace and so I'm sharing my process with you today because I know

27
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:08.400
that you're a person of the kingdom of God and so I know I'm talking to movers and shakers and

28
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.680
builders and pioneers and we've all been given ministries and jobs and businesses you know

29
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:21.280
beautiful things to pour our lives into to serve other people and it can be so tempting in our

30
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:26.720
passion to please the Lord in our service to others to push beyond the pace that he has set for us

31
00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:32.720
some of us push so hard that we live our lives trying only to please the people we've been called

32
00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:38.480
to serve now this hasn't happened with posture but it has happened in other seasons of my life where

33
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.600
you know I set out to please the Lord but really I was hustling and hurrying to please other people

34
00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:51.920
and let me tell you from experience that leads to burnout so much of my past work

35
00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:59.040
have really just been monuments to what my stress and striving can pull off posture is never going

36
00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:06.480
to be that posture is never going to be a monument to my hustle posture and any future work of my

37
00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:12.560
hands is going to be produced in peace and I hope that what I'm demonstrating with this you know

38
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:18.959
minor change is that we have so much freedom in Christ it doesn't have to look the same seasons

39
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:26.000
change and even though many of us I know have experienced vast changes in the last year with

40
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:31.760
all that is going on with the world we have a fountain of life that never runs dry so we don't

41
00:04:31.760 --> 00:04:39.920
have to run dry either and we won't because you and I are going to set our pace to God's movement

42
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:48.160
that's where real momentum is birthed and sustained you and I are called to be displays of the glory

43
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:56.320
of God here on earth not displays or reflections of the world's pace the world's hustle and hurry

44
00:04:56.320 --> 00:04:59.840
I'm gonna leave you today with Psalm chapter 16

45
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.300
It's one of my favorite psalms, and in verse 5, and I'm reading from the Passion Translation, it says,

46
00:05:06.300 --> 00:05:12.600
Lord, I have chosen you alone as my inheritance.

47
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:17.500
You are my prize, my pleasure, and my portion.

48
00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:24.000
I leave my destiny and its timing in your hands.

49
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:29.000
The promise of perfect peace is found in Isaiah 26 3.

50
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:37.500
In Hebrew, it is shalom, shalom, meaning complete wholeness, nothing missing, nothing broken.

51
00:05:37.500 --> 00:05:42.500
This is who you are in Jesus because of Jesus.

52
00:05:42.500 --> 00:05:46.500
You are a living testimony of Jesus's ultimate win.

53
00:05:46.500 --> 00:05:54.000
With every step you take today, you're putting Jesus's victory on display and Satan's defeat on replay.

54
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.560
you
