3rd F This is the scripture I used for 2 morning devotions at youth camp the last 2 weeks.
Ephesians 5:8-14 ESV [8] for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light [9] (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), [10] and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. [11] Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. [12] For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. [13] But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, [14] for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
https://bible.com/bible/59/eph.5.8-14.ESV 2 Corinthians 4:6 ESV [6] For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Fire is sometimes used to represent life. As you saw that can be snuffed out by the world, but we have an eternal light that is shining through us. Engaging to Impact is simple a smile, hug, holding a door, or saying an encouraging word.
Matthew 5:14-16 ESV [14] “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. [15] Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. [16] In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Luke 8:16 ESV [16] “No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 1 Peter 5:6-10 ESV A good affirmation that you are not alone in your struggles. There is season for everything. God will restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

Protect Your Temple: Day 1 • Devotional Take Care of Your Body If you are over 30, you may recall an early ad campaign from the sportswear company Under Armor in which a football player gives a motivational speech to his teammates. Towards the end, he states, “We must protect this house! Will you protect this house!” When I think about my house, I typically think about my family and physical home. What about your physical body? Don’t we dwell within our bodies? In 1 Corinthians 3:16, Paul writes, “Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s temple and that the Spirit of God lives in you?” Later, Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:19, “Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God?” Our bodies are temples where the Holy Spirit dwells. God gave us only one body in this life. Our families, friends, and livelihood depend on our physical bodies functioning at a high level. Taking care of our bodies is our responsibility. Like many things in life, we have a choice. Do you do things to take care of your body or not? Do you treat your body with respect? Do you get proper nourishment? Do you get enough exercise? Do you get enough rest? This plan will encourage you to take better care of your body and physical health. We must protect this house!

3rd F Rest your Body There is a classic video in which a brother and his younger sister are having a snack. The sister is irrationally crying. The brother quickly asks, “Did you have a nap today?” The sister responds, “I didn’t.” The brother cutely follows with, “You need one.” In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the importance of physical rest. We often push ourselves to the limit, believing constant activity equates to productivity and success. However, the Bible reminds us of the necessity of rest and its role in our spiritual and physical well-being. In Matthew 11: 28-29, we read, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Jesus invites us to come to Him when we are weary and burdened. This invitation is not just for spiritual rest but also physical rest. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and caring for them is a form of worship. When we neglect rest, we can become physically and spiritually depleted, making it harder to serve God and others effectively. Here are a few practical applications to think about. First, prioritize sleep. Ensure you get adequate sleep each night. Aim for 7-9 hours to allow your body to repair and rejuvenate. Second, think about a Sabbath rest each week. Set aside one day a week to rest from your usual work and activities. Use this time to focus on God, family, and activities that refresh your spirit. Third, listen to your body. Pay attention to signs of fatigue and take breaks when needed. It’s okay to rest and recharge. Remember, taking time to rest is not a sign of weakness but a recognition of our need for God’s sustaining grace. Embrace rest as a divine gift and a necessary part of your spiritual journey.
Matthew 11:28-29 ESV [28] Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. https://bible.com/bible/59/mat.11.28-29.ESV

This was sent out to the coaches for Delmarva Christian from the athletic director.
So today’s message I believe, comes straight from God. You see, God has really been pressing me these last several weeks. I keep hearing from him, “you need to go all in”. I knew that God was calling me to go all in as a Christian man and a Christian athletic director. But because of past experience and other roadblocks, the spirit of fear has been holding me back. Today I asked my pastor, Coach Hannah, if he had time to talk, and we worked through a couple things. Coach Hannah’s message to me today was about being a shepherd and taking care of the flock. He really helped connect the idea of shepherding and coaching! Then as I sat down to prepare this email, I happened to check my inbox and low and behold, I read today’s message from FCA Coaches Ministry. Here is the verse. “I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, Neither shall any be missing, declares the Lord.” – Jeremiah 23:4 (ESV)
WOW! Talk about a prophetic word! My heart is overflowing!
I love the comparison of Sheppards and Coaches! Think about it. Who has been the most influential person in your athletic life. Who has guided you, protected you, motivated you and encouraged you? A COACH has! Just as a Shepherd attends to his flock, coaches are to attend to the needs of their athletes! You have been appointed by God to coach your athletes! Will you also shepherd them?
