My wife always said I usually try to cram in one more thing before I leave for an appointment. No, she was right. Yeah, she’d say that I usually try to make it up on the road, and sometimes I do have to plead guilty I guess. And it usually works okay if the weather’s on my side. And then there are those very rainy days when it’s a little tougher to hurry. You know, you’re zipping down the highway at top speed, and suddenly you feel yourself losing control of the rear wheels. You ever had that happen to you? Yeah, it’s what they call hydroplaning. The water builds up under those tires so that well, you’re suddenly skiing. You’re skimming along on water rather than on the pavement and the rear of your car starts to go somewhere you don’t want it to go. Now, if that’s ever happened to you, you know it is a scary feeling to start hydroplaning because, well, you’re going so fast and you’re starting to start losing control.
I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “When Things Are Overwhelming.”
Now, our word for today from the Word of God comes from Psalm 42. As we read this, the author is hydroplaning. Well, he didn’t have a car, he had a chariot. And I don’t know if chariots hydroplane or not, but things were moving so fast for him, he was beginning to lose control. In fact, listen to some of the descriptions he gives. He says, “My tears have been my food day and night.” Then as you read on later in this very personal Psalm, he uses words like this: “Why are you so downcast oh my soul? Why are you so disturbed within me?” Then he says, “My soul is downcast within me. All Your waves and breakers, Lord, have swept over me.” This guy’s in bad shape!
He says, “Man, things are just totally out of control.” I was there not too long ago feeling this way. I think it was accumulated over a period of several weeks. Challenges had just been getting much bigger than my resources. Personally I felt like my faith was kind of like a fitted sheet on a king sized bed and I couldn’t quite get it over that fourth corner. I couldn’t get it to reach far enough to cover the particular challenges and the pressures that were accumulating. And I’ll be honest with you, I was overwhelmed, I get there sometimes. I was pretty anxious, I was feeling like I would never catch up. And then I wandered into Psalm 42, where I was hit with a very probing question by a man who was feeling things out-of-control like I was. And as it turned out, that question turned out to be the answer.
Here’s our word for today from the Word of God. The question is in Psalm 42:2. It says this: “When can I go and meet with God?” So the writer says, “I’m losing control. It’s bigger than I am. When can I go and meet with God?” You know, just like the writer of that Psalm, I needed to stop the world and get away for 24 hours with my Bible and a notepad and meet with God. And I did.
That’s been repeated many times. Maybe that’s the prescription for you right now. You say, “Well, there’s too much for me to stop right now.” See, that’s why you need to. Set a time to stop. Stand back, and listen to your Lord for an extended, unhurried chunk of time – for hours, not just minutes. Write down what you’re feeling and what you’re thinking as you’re in His presence for that extended time. And ask Him for a fresh look at the people and the pressures so you can see the forest and not just the trees. Ask Him to help you see it through His eyes. Set some priorities while you’re in that away spot. Make plans. Weed out things that can go. You can trust what you get from God when you’re in an extended time in His presence. And those need to be scheduled on a pretty regular basis.
So, if you’re traveling at high speed, you feel yourself losing control, slow down, hit the brakes, carve out time away where your Lord can show you what He wants, and He can have your undivided attention.
The number one question you have to answer right now is this: “When can I go and meet with God?”

I’m writing this on September 11. Twenty-four years ago today, I watched on television as the Twin Towers crumbled to dust. Twenty-four hours ago, I saw the shocking assassination of a hugely popular Gen Z influencer in front of 3,000 people. In both cases, millions were devastated in disbelief and grief. Including reporters, politicians, law enforcement spokesmen – and lots of ordinary folks. And while the scope of the 2001 tragedy was clearly greater, the trauma of yesterday’s assassination hit many young people very personally. Watching the tears of others yesterday, I found myself praying again what I cried out to God 24 years ago. “God, what do You see here?” The answer was the same both times. Souls. Lost souls. Grieving souls. Eternal souls.
I’ve worked with young people my entire adult life. And as years have gone by, I’ve seen many of them become less and less engaged with their world and with current events. Many of them know tons about Taylor Swift’s love life but can’t find Ukraine on a map or tell you the name of the Vice President. But they were drawn to Charlie Kirk, who was dedicated to involving them in major issues of our time. A prime time CNN host said yesterday: “If you don’t know who Charlie Kirk is, ask your teenager or your college student.” Kirk was, in a sense, a generational prophet to many of them. He had over 5 million followers on X (formerly Twitter) and hundreds of thousands of listeners to his podcast and radio program. Observers characterize many of today’s young people as disconnected. But they connected with Charlie Kirk. To countless millions of young people, he was finally a voice they felt they could trust. Suddenly, he was gone. For me, this isn’t about Charlie Kirk’s politics or culture war perspectives. It is, of course, about his wife Erika and their two children. I know “the Lord is close to the brokenhearted” (Psalm 34:18) and she’s clearly expressed her relationship with Him. I pray Jesus will envelope them in His strong and comforting arms.
I do see what God showed me on that dark September 11 years ago. Those souls. The emotional outpouring that floods social media now gives testimony to the deep sense of personal loss so many young people are feeling today. After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, there was a hole in our hearts that none of our usual “go to” answers could fill. So we turned to God. Churches were full. Prayer was everywhere. Many finally opened their hearts to the Savior who died for them and beat death by His Resurrection.
For many contemporary young people, yesterday’s loss has left their own hole in their heart. That’s where it’s about “souls.” This trauma will be, for many, a “turning point.” For some, to anger, retribution, disillusionment, despair. All destinations devoid of hope. Or to Jesus. Whose hope is stronger than death, guaranteed by an empty tomb. We are desperate for a generation that doesn’t carry all the baggage we have or suffer from the angry poison we’ve consumed. A spiritual awakening may well be our only real hope. And our young people may be our only real hope of a better tomorrow. I’m praying the death of a looked-to leader may lead them to the Leader whose life and hope are eternal. Jesus called us in life to tell our world about His unloseable love – and to let them experience that love through us.
At the unforgettable Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, there is a simple but profound exchange between the honor soldier coming on duty and the one leaving. For some 75 years, every guard leaving has said, “Orders remain unchanged.” To which, the new guard salutes and responds, “Orders acknowledged.” Two thousand years ago, Jesus gave a band of disciples His final orders: “You shall be My witnesses” (Acts 1:8).
No matter the loss, no matter the cost. Orders remain unchanged.

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!

As our kids were growing up, Saturday was always chore day at the Hutchcraft house. It was the day we got our leaves raked and bagged, rooms got cleaned – or hosed out like a monkey cage – it was the day the garage got dug out, the dirty clothes got clean, broken things got fixed, you know. Now it wasn’t that kids jumped out of bed on Saturday morning saying, “What do you have for me to do today, Dad?” No, Saturday mornings often involved some delicate labor negotiations – especially when it came to someone getting a job that meant more time and more dirty work than some of the others. That child might say, “I don’t want to do Job A. I want Job B.” To which I would reply, “I pay the allowances and the bonuses around here. (See, usually there was extra pay for extra work). Don’t forget lesson #1 of working – you don’t pick your jobs. The person who pays you decides the jobs you’ll do.”
Well, I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You about “The Jobs We Don’t Want To Do.”
Now our word for today from the Word of God comes from Acts 10, where Simon Peter is being assigned by His boss to do an unpleasant chore. Peter has been preaching Christ to Jewish audiences who knew the Scriptures and respected God’s laws. Now, God wants Peter to now reach out to go to the house of Cornelius, a Roman military leader, to reach out to this Gentile. Now Peter’s lifelong feeling about Gentiles could be summed up in one word – “yuck!” They didn’t know the Bible; they ate what the Jewish law called unclean foods; they lived outside God’s laws. Well, God sends Peter a vision to prepare him for this job he is not going to want to do. It’s a vision of a sheet with animals that Peter, as a Jew, considers unclean to eat.
Acts 10:13 – “Then a voice told him, ‘Get up, Peter, Kill and eat.’ ‘Surely not, Lord!’ Peter replied. ‘I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.’ The voice spoke to him a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’ This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.” Well, immediately Peter finds at his door men who have come to invite him to the house of Cornelius, the Gentile. The Bible says, “Peter said to the men, ‘I’m the one you’re looking for’…Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests.” And the next day he’s off to meet Cornelius.
God gave Peter a job he really didn’t want to do. But Peter knew who the Boss was, and that the One who pays you decides the job you’ll do. Peter obeyed, and it led to some amazing results. Now maybe God has given you an unpleasant chore, and you’re balking, just like my kids on a Saturday morning.
It could be God is leading you to befriend a person who isn’t very attractive, who may be pretty demanding. Or the assignment may be to share Christ with someone who isn’t much fun to be around or is hard to talk to; or to minister to a group of people that you find irritating or even repulsive; possibly to work closely with someone who is definitely not your type. Whatever the job you don’t feel like doing, tell the Lord your reservations – like Peter. Then go ahead and do it anyway – like Peter. And like Peter, you’ll probably get some important results – in what it will do for them and how it will grow you.
I’m really glad Jesus doesn’t just hang around with people who are His type – you and I wouldn’t stand a chance. No, He will reward you generously for doing the unpleasant chores, the ones that will stretch you. So if your Lord is giving you a job you don’t want to do, will you trust His judgment over yours? Then start on it today without delay. It is an assignment Jesus has been preparing for you long before today. Believe me, doing what the Boss says to do will pay off!

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.
