Creation Speaks by Shawn Brown

Work doesn’t have to be rushed. To become a master craftsman, whatever it is that you do, you need to learn to slow down when you rush or get impatient. Otherwise, what you do isn’t fully what it could be.

I thought I’d do a new spin on my podcast, Stories. I want to share some experiences I’ve had in life that have meant a lot to me and have been pivotal times steering my life. I share them because they might also encourage you in the creative space, your job, or wherever you find yourself. I hope you enjoy today’s episode.

In today’s episode, I reflect on my journal and the things I’ve written about the Lord. I hope you enjoy it.

Advent reminds us to look to Jesus, the Messiah, who redeems, restores, and provides. Love God, love others, and trust Him to meet every need.

Reflections on Psalm 23:1

"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want."

I've been reading the Book of Revelation. Today, I spent some time in Revelation 21 and 22. In these scriptures, we see a future city called the New Jerusalem that descends upon the earth. In this city and on the earth, there will be no more sin and death. There will be nations and peoples living and working in a restored world, and God will be among us. Listen as I share a few thoughts on this passage.

Don't spend too much time figuring out your purpose and miss what has been given to you today. We can spend a lot of time seeking our calling or purpose to change our current situations. Right now, we are living and moving in the Lord, so seek Him and serve the Lord in whatever you do.

Colossians 3:23-24 NKJV "And  whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."

Be okay to sit with your thirst. Be okay to stop trying to answer the questions you have on your own. You don't have to figure it out. Bring all your questions to the Lord and wait for Him.

"Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s." Psalm 103:1-5 nkjv

Reflections on Colossians 3:17 & Colossians 3:23-24

"And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."
