Before we change the world around us, we must examine what\u2019s happening within us.<\/p><p><em>\u201cExamine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?\u2014unless indeed you are disqualified.\u201d<strong>\u00a0 (<\/strong>2 Corinthians 13:5)<\/em><\/p><p><strong>Start With the Mirror<\/strong><\/p><p>During a recent team meeting, we displayed each person\u2019s work updates on the screen\u2014along with names. Some of the feedback was expected, some surprising. But what mattered most wasn\u2019t the data\u2014it was the clarity.<\/p><p>In one moment, we realized: <a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/2025-spring-essc-overarching-3\/\">Leadership<\/a> begins with self-awareness. One team member was unaware of how his tardiness affected others, and for the first time others who were constantly picking up his slack, saw that he was still unaware.<\/p><p>We\u2019re not so different in our spiritual lives. One of the greatest dangers for believers is becoming inattentive. Over time, without realizing it, we distort how we worship, convince ourselves we\u2019re doing fine, and begin to stagnate spiritually.<\/p><p>That\u2019s why Paul urged: \u201cExamine yourselves.\u201d Vigilance is essential for a growing faith.<\/p><p><strong>When Worship Becomes About Us<\/strong><\/p><p>In Exodus 32, Aaron and the Israelites couldn\u2019t wait for Moses to return from Mount Sinai. They grew impatient and took worship into their own hands\u2014literally. They built a golden calf and worshipped it.<\/p><p>Aaron wasn\u2019t a rebellious leader\u2014he was respected, even spoken to directly by God. Yet he still led the people into one of the Bible\u2019s most tragic acts of idolatry.<\/p><p>Why? Because they reshaped worship to suit their <em>convenience<\/em>, not God\u2019s command.<\/p><p>How often do we do the same\u2014choosing convenience over obedience?<\/p><p>Today, it may look like skipping Sabbath for a \u201ccan\u2019t-miss\u201d event or only attending services when our favorite speaker is preaching. We may not melt gold into calves, but we bend worship to fit our preferences just the same.<\/p><p><strong>Shifting the Glory<\/strong><\/p><p>When our faith becomes inattentive, we not only change how we worship\u2014we change <em>who<\/em> we worship. In Acts 14, after Paul and Barnabas healed a crippled man, the people tried to worship them as gods. But Paul shouted, <em>\u201c\u2026We are also men with the same nature as you\u2026 turn from these useless things to the living God&#8230;\u201d<\/em> <em>(<\/em><em>A<\/em><em>cts 14:15)<\/em><\/p><p>Even in success, Paul gave all the glory to God.<\/p><p>Contrast that with how we often receive praise. Do we take credit for our talents, promotions, or achievements? Jesus reminds us:<\/p><p><em>\u201cHow can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God?\u201d<\/em> <em>(John 5:44)<\/em><\/p><p>We are vessels\u2014nothing more. Every good thing comes from God, and every bit of glory should return to Him.<\/p><p><strong>Run with Vigilance<\/strong><\/p><p>The Christian life isn\u2019t a sprint. It\u2019s a marathon. A triathlon. One that requires vigilance all the way through.<\/p><p>Spring reminds us of renewal and growth. But before we grow outwardly, we must first look inward.<\/p><p>Studies show that 80% of leaders lack true self-awareness. Those who overestimate themselves are far more likely to fail. That\u2019s why spiritual self-reflection matters. It\u2019s like standing before a mirror\u2014honest and unfiltered.<\/p><p>God\u2019s Word is our mirror. It shows us who we truly are, and who we\u2019re called to become.<\/p><p><strong>A Final Word<\/strong><\/p><p>We\u2019re all standing at the foot of Mount Sinai. The wait feels long. But Jesus is coming soon.<\/p><p>So, will we survive the wait? Will we stay faithful, vigilant, and grounded? Or will we shape God to fit our world?<\/p><p>Let\u2019s take time this week to ask:<\/p><ul><li>Am I truly worshiping God His way\u2014or mine?<\/li><li>Have I allowed my habits or preferences to reshape my faith?<\/li><li>Where do I need correction\u2014and am I willing to receive it?<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Let\u2019s Reflect<\/strong><\/p><p>Self-awareness isn\u2019t just for leaders. It\u2019s for <em>everyone<\/em> who seeks to grow in faith. We can\u2019t influence others, serve effectively, or glorify God fully\u2014unless we first know ourselves.<\/p><p><strong>Need prayer or want to grow deeper in your walk with God?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<em>\u201cTherefore, say to them, &#8216;Thus says the Lord of hosts: &#8220;Return to Me,&#8221; says the Lord of hosts, &#8220;and I will return to you,&#8221;<\/em> says the Lord of hosts.\u201d <em>(Zechariah 1:3)<\/em><\/p><p>Join us for our Spring 2025 Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation (ESSC)\u2014a time of worship, fellowship,
