May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:11–14

Reflections:
Describe a situation where you end up trying to hard instead of trusting the Lord.
What is wrong with your theological suppositions and conclusions when you are trying to fix things using your limited human efforts? What are you wrongly assuming in that moment?
Using the saw sharpening illustration…what needs sharpened? What will that entail? When will you do it? How will you stay motivated to do it?
