In this episode, we explore how the relentless pursuit of productivity and success can disconnect us from God’s presence. Inspired by Jeremiah 17:5-8, we compare the dry, brittle life of self-reliance to the thriving, fruitful life that comes from trusting in God.
Reading Plan Passages
1 Chronicles 24- 25
1 Peter 5
Micah 3
Psalm 104
Main Points:
The Danger of the Grind: Striving in our own strength leads to exhaustion and spiritual dryness.
Trust in God: Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, thriving like a tree planted by water.
Moving from Grinding to Flowing:
Pause for God’s Presence: Practical ways to incorporate stillness with God into daily life.
Daily Re-Surrender: Trusting God with your work, dreams, and struggles.
Root Yourself in the Word: Staying connected to God through Scripture.
A Personal Story: The Ordered Chaos Club journey and lessons on surrendering our “alabaster boxes” to God.
Practical Takeaways:
Start your day with silence before God.
Use a timer to take presence walks or short moments of gratitude.
Keep a surrender journal to remind yourself of what you’ve placed in God’s hands.
Root yourself in Scripture through meditation, memorization, and music.
Reflection Questions:
Are you holding onto something so tightly that you’re missing God’s purpose for it?

Today’s Readings from the Plan:
1 Samuel 7-8, Romans 6, Jeremiah 44-45, Luke 14
Focus Passage: Romans 6:10-13 ESV
Read the Text, Meditate on it, Pray Through It, & Contemplate the Impact
“For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.”
