JOPE 12:10

In today’s world, everybody’s in a rush. We rush our mornings to get to school or work. We run our days to get more done. We rush our evenings with full schedules. Unfortunately, another day passed, and we rushed right past God. As sports officials and families of officials, we run by God even faster with all our travel and responsibilities. Let’s slow down and spend some TIME with God.

The vocations represented in the characters of Christmas can teach us a lot about God and how our work is a means of co-laboring with “the newborn King.” In this four-day plan, we’ll look at the vocations of John the Baptist, Caesar Augustus, Matthew, and the famed Star of Bethlehem to draw out applications for our own work today.

This 5-day reading plan, adapted from content within FCA Magazine, focuses on “Rest” and explores the benefits of rest, renewal, and honoring the divinely created Sabbath. It offers perspective and encouragement for the coach or athlete struggling to make time for rest – both physically and spiritually – in their busy schedule.

In this 5-day devotional, Kara Lawler will show you how to embrace the sacred in the everyday so that you can see the holy and the beautiful - and in the process, discover yourself.
