Carpool Karaoke – Humble Yourself

When we are in a situation that is chronic and ongoing, the ‘software’ in your brain shifts and negativity can seep in because of the dissonance between our internal drive to act and the reality that we can only wait and see. You cannot use the flight or fight remedy – so often we settle into passiveness. Initiative stops. Trying something new stops. We need a reboot and a mood shift. Join us as we work through some ways to rewrite and reboot the software as we think through MOODSWINGERS.

Our Mission: Gracefully Helping People in a Distracted World embrace their role in God’s Story

Philippians 4:4-7 RSV

4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. 6 Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

When external enemies and impossibilities overwhelm internal stability and ability the result is crushing anxiety.

God brought you to this moment, so you can be taught in this moment.

1 Peter 5:6-11 ESV

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Four False Phrases:

My enemy is a fantasy.

You’ll never make it through this.

You’ve arrived.

1 Peter 5:6 ESV

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,

Exodus 13:9 ESV

9 And it shall be to you as a sign on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt.

Isaiah 41:10 ESV

10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God;I will strengthen you, I will help you,I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

My dependency brings His delivery. Humility isn’t trying to prove who you are. It’s knowing whose you are.

Do something to be something. Be something to do something.

“I’ll call nobodies and make them somebodies; I’ll call the unloved and make them beloved. In the place where they yelled out, “You’re nobody!” they’re calling you “God’s living children.” Romans 9:25-26 (Message)

1 Peter 5:6 NLT

6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.
