"God is MOST Glorified in me when I am MOST satisfied in HIM!"- John Piper "The chief end of man is to Glorify God by enjoying Him forever" "You have capacities for joy which you can scarcely imagine. They were made for the enjoyment of God." -Desiring God by Piper

God is good!

We as a church meet the last Tuesday of every month at CHS to worship together and pray. This is, if you don't already know, the biggest reason we do not have our normal Wednesday night Student gathering called NORTHface. We had a really good time together last night. I encourage you as students to be a part of this time. It will give you more time to be around adults in our church and just as important, time for adults in our church to be around you and to see you worship with them. Have you sought God this week? He is calling you. He promises that when we seek Him with all our heart that He will be found. WHAT A PROMISE! The God of the universe, creator of all things WANTS to be found by us. He is calling you. Are you listening? He has a plan for your life. Do you know that? Have you rested in Him lately? We get caught up in the busyness of our lives and often times get overwhelmed. We get frustrated, depressed, stressed, angry, and who knows what other emotions come from this...but there is an answer. NO not a good dose of sponge bob square pants, or an hour blowing up bad guys in Halo 2. The answer is to rest in God. Get alone, open your bible to the psalms and make much of who God is. Make a list of the good things He is to you. I heard John Piper say, we don't go to the grand canyon to make much of us we go to the grand canyon to make much of it. It would be silly to bring your own personal mirror to set up and stare at yourself instead of God's vastness in creation in the Grand Canyon. Can you hear it? as everyone around you is oooohing and aweing about how beautiful the canyon is, you are looking in your little mirror thinking to yourself, "man i am pretty". YIKES. So instead of making much of ourself today, let's try making much of God. Rest in Him today. Here is some of the scripture we studied last night. Ask God to speak to you as you read it. Jeremiah 29:11-14
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. [12] Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. [13] You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. [14] I will be found by you," declares the Lord,
Have a great day today!
