Following Jesus means practicing His rhythms daily, not just adding Him into our busy lives or Sunday routines. Pastor Tyler realized during illness how often we rush to get “there” instead of being present “here.” Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that every season has a purpose and that God makes all things beautiful in their time. Spiritual maturity grows when we pause to recognize that God is with us in every moment, not just in good or easy ones. The challenge is to stop striving for what’s next and instead ask, “What is God inviting me to notice, release, or embrace here?”

Reflection Questions:

• Is everything good in your soul?

• Are you able to find moments to be fully present with God?

• Are there any red alerts in your life that are hindering you from practicing the presence of God?
