  Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
• 0:02
  Huddle for May 23rd, 2025. Your
• 0:05
  two-minute play of the day for applying
• 0:07
  God's word in your life. So, let's
• 0:08
  huddle up and hear today's play from
• 0:11
  Luke 7, which says, "All the people,
• 0:13
  even the tax collectors, when they heard
• 0:15
  Jesus's words, acknowledged that God's
• 0:18
  way was right because they had been
• 0:20
  baptized by John. But the Pharisees and
• 0:22
  the experts in the law rejected God's
• 0:24
  purpose for themselves because they had
• 0:27
  not been baptized by John. You know,
• 0:30
  everyone wants purpose and meaning in
• 0:32
  their lives. We're created by God with
• 0:34
  this homing device within us, calling
• 0:36
  out to him to reveal to us why we are
• 0:40
  here and what we are to do. The first
• 0:43
  answer to that question is to know him
• 0:45
  and to have a right relationship with
• 0:47
  him as our creator, father, as our God,
• 0:50
  the Lord. We are to love him and obey
• 0:53
  him in order to glorify him on earth as
• 0:55
  he is in heaven. We too often answer the
• 0:58
  purpose question with a task instead of
• 1:01
  a relationship which is how we are made
• 1:04
  and for the purpose which we were
• 1:06
  created. Our vocation is to pay for our
• 1:09
  occupation and help others to do the
• 1:11
  same which is to know God and obey his
• 1:14
  commands through Jesus the savior and
• 1:16
  lord. The foolish people in Luke
• 1:18
  understood this and acknowledged the
• 1:20
  wisdom and righteousness of God. The
• 1:23
  wise, the smart ones, the religious
• 1:25
  leaders rejected their purpose, missing
• 1:27
  true meaning for their lives because
• 1:29
  they rejected God's ways for being
• 1:31
  reconciled to him so that they could
• 1:33
  relive in a right relationship with
• 1:36
  him. This is the common malady of most.
• 1:39
  They reject God's ways, seeking instead
• 1:41
  meaning and significance from what they
• 1:43
  do or what they have. In the end, they
• 1:46
  find life meaningless, empty,
• 1:48
  insignificant, and discouraging.
• 1:50
  Humility is necessary for entering into
• 1:53
  a life of joy and peace and restoration
• 1:56
  with God. It's an acknowledgement that
• 1:58
  his ways are best, right, and only for
• 2:01
  living as we were created. If we want
• 2:03
  true meaning and purpose, significance
• 2:05
  and peace, we must humble ourselves
• 2:08
  before Jesus and invite him into our
• 2:10
  lives as our personal Lord and Savior so
• 2:12
  that we can know him and love him
• 2:14
  always, even as we grow in our
• 2:16
  experience of his love and joy for us
• 2:20
  always.
