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

3rd F
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?

From the Exicon – Doracides – Two Pax worked together to reach exercise reps of 100, 200, 300, & 400 of 4 different exercises EACH. One Pax worked on the exercises while the second Pax completed suicides to three designated waypoints. The extra twist is at the waypoint of each suicide run; the Pax completed 1 burpee, then 2 burpees, and finally 3 burpees before returning to the starting point. Once all three suicide sprints were completed, the Pax switched stations until all reps of each exercise were completed. The exercises completed are as follows: 100 Merkins, 200 American Hammers, 300 LBC’s, & 400 squats.
There’s bad plaque and there’s good plaque. The bad kind is that substance that builds up on your teeth that you see in all the toothpaste commercials. They’re going to help you get rid of that. Oh, and then there’s good plaque; that’s the kind we have hanging on walls all over our house.
They’re good plaques because they have different promises on them from God’s Word. Right as you come into our house there’s been a plaque on the wall that says, “All your children will be taught of the Lord and great shall be the peace of your children.” That’s Isaiah 54:13. And most homes have God’s promises on plaques on the wall, or churches do. But plaques like that are meant to do more than hang on walls; they’re actually meant to float.
I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “When God’s Promises Turn Into Life Preservers.”
Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Psalm 119. I’m going to read verse 50. David says, “My comfort in my suffering is this: ‘Your promise preserves my life.'” I love that. “Your promise preserves my life.”
Not long ago I was talking to some friends of ours who had lost a relative in a tragic auto accident. I said to them, “Was His grace enough?” You know, one of the great promises of God in 2 Corinthians 12:9 is, “His grace is sufficient.” There’ll always be enough grace.
And they said, “Oh yeah, it sure was.” And then together we began to remember some of those promises that make good wall plaques, like “Underneath are the everlasting arms.” And then it dawned on me, those promises of God are nice words, but when a storm hits and you’re sinking – like when a loved one dies for example – the promise of God becomes a lot more than a plaque. It becomes your life preserver, like someone drowning in the ocean, hanging on for dear life, and the promise is all you’ve got to hang onto.
David said, “My comfort in suffering is this, ‘Your promise preserves my life.'” All you’ve got to hang on to. And the more you hold on to that promise, the more you live as if the promise is true and the more you can handle. We’ve got to have those promises in our heart so we can rip them off the wall and hang onto them when that sudden storm hits.
I talked not long ago to a burned out Christian leader. He’s hanging on to a promise from the 23rd Psalm, “He restores my soul.” I talked to a family who was recently hit by five medical blows within as many weeks. They’re hanging on to Deuteronomy 33:25, “Your strength will equal your days.” When my wife got ill and was sick with hepatitis, in bed for nine months, I wondered, “How in the world am I going to do it without my partner?” I hung on to that verse. Every day I said, “Your strength will equal your days, Ron. Your strength will equal your days.” It did! It got me through.
So, learn those promises. They’re your source of strength. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” That means you’ll have everything you need. Maybe you need Philippians 4:19, “My God will supply all your needs.” Or maybe that plaque that becomes a life preserver is 1 Corinthians 10:13, “God is faithful. He will not allow you to be tempted more than you are able.” Or are you hanging onto Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” How many times have I hung onto Jeremiah 33:3, “Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things you do not know.”
Learn those promises, and then learn to lean on those promises. When your feelings are lying to you, when your world is upside down, grab a promise off the wall of your heart and rest all your weight on it. The promises of God are life preservers.

(Micah 6:8; Romans 12:2; Proverbs 21:3) Pure: Is it free from moral fault? (Psalm 51:10; Philippians 4:8; James 3:17) Lovely: Does it promote love and compassion? (1 Corinthians 16:14; Colossians 3:12–14; 1 John 4:7) Praiseworthy: Is it deserving of admiration and respect? (Psalm 145:3; Ephesians 1:12; Philippians 2:3)
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7, NKJV).

On the first warm day of spring I can remember my son saying, “Ready for a little baseball, Dad?” Well, ’twas the season, although that early in the season we usually ended up stuck in the mud somewhere between home plate and first base. Now, he didn’t ask about playing baseball if it was fall or winter. Now, he always had a like a strong sense of season. By the same token, the first cool day of late summer, of course, that brought a predictable question, “Ready for a little football, Dad?” This is the same son, of course, that got upset when he saw Christmas items up before Thanksgiving, or phone calls when he was studying or homework that you had to do on weekends. See, this kid had and actually still does have for that matter, a strong sense of what season it is, and there’s actually a lot of sanity in living that way.
I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “A Strong Sense of Season.”
Now, our word for today from the Word of God comes from Ecclesiastes 3, and let me read some excerpts to you: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.” It goes on with a list of life’s times, and then concludes in verse 11, “God has made everything beautiful in its time.”
Well, the message of Ecclesiastes 3 to me is this: Know what time it is. Know what season it is at this point in your life, or your month, or your week. And then really do what it’s time to do and don’t mix up your seasons. When it’s time to work, really work; when it’s time to fellowship, really fellowship. Just don’t mix everything up.
Now, I know some people who talk for half of their work day. Well, when it’s fellowship time, do that, but don’t mix that with your work and vice-versa. When it’s time to play, really play. When it’s time to be home, don’t bring your work home with you; really be home. When it’s time to be at work, don’t keep doing personal stuff. When it’s time to pray, block out everything else.
Maybe that’s why Jesus told us to go into a closet to do it. When it’s time to listen, drop everything else and focus on that person. If it’s time to finish something else before you listen, get that done and schedule a time when you really can listen. When it’s time to study, don’t talk. When it’s time to unwind, don’t study. Get the idea? It’s like the Bible says in Colossians 3, “Whatever you do, do it with all your heart.”
I have a friend whose employees’ wives are on the warpath because their husbands are coming home forever late from work. Guess who they blame? The boss and the company for overworking their men. Well, the fact is what the wives don’t know is that these men are taking extended lunch hours for gym time and shooting the breeze much of the day. They waste as much time as they work, and then they have to work like crazy at the other end of the day. And then, guess what? They can’t be the fathers they need to be.
I like what the Bible says again, “Whatever you do, do it with all your heart.” And I really like what Jim Elliott, the missionary martyr said, “Wherever you are, be all there.” See, things don’t work as well when you do them “out of season.” Each day, each week has seasons in your life. Well, do with all your heart what it’s time to do at that moment and then God makes everything beautiful in its time.
I’ll tell you, life is a lot more peaceful when you live with a strong sense of season.
