This is who I am so this is what I do.
Do you know who you are? Dont you hate that question?
Well, who defines who you are? “when the character of a man is not clear, look at his friends”.
We really are known by the company we keep.
The people we are around help define who we are.
But ultimately we are defined by our relationship with our Creator.
Serving together to create a distraction free environment where people can encounter God.
Older translations have ‘set your heart’.
Newer ones have ‘seek’.
Both meant to convey our desires.
Much more than a line of thought, ‘set your mind’ refers to all our values and loves.
Desires and values
Individual -
Of the organization -
They either merge and match and benefit one another or cause conflict.
We see this clearly in the life of Joseph:
Sold to the Midianites (or Ishmaelites) by his brothers
Midian was Abraham’s son by Keturah.
Ishmael was Abraham’s son by Hagar.
So each was Isaac’s half brother.
Isaac was Joseph’s grandfather.
The brothers sold Joseph to his cousins.
It was a bad deal all the way around.
Wound up as a house servant to Potiphar, career army man in Egypt.
This is a place we can see the struggle between the desires and values of the individual and the organization.
- How can I do this great wickedness and sin against...
Your husband
My family
Your husband
My God
My God
This is who I am, so this is what I do.
I need to please ________ so this is what I do.
This is who I want to be, so this is what I do.
This is who I was so this is what I do.
This is my baggage so this is what I do.
Adopted, bought, redeemed, grafted, chosen, rescued, [justified], [sanctified], [reconciled], united both with Christ and each other, changed, sealed, forgiven.
Out of who I am springs forth what I do.
We see that in Joseph.
Can you see that in yourself?
Peeling away all the pretense, we are each the most important person in the world.
Inherently selfish.
Which means we need extraordinary grace to see others with compassion.
Much more than a line of thought, ‘set your mind’ refers to all our values and loves.
