CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve never read the Bible in its entirety before and this is something that I’ve challenged myself to do this year.  Going through the Old Testament, you see the nation of Israel set up this cycle of obedience to God, disobedience or departure from His commands, rebuke in the form of toil and hardships, and finally a return to obedience.  All to often it was a very quick turn around from obedience to idol worship and following other false gods.  This failure to walk with Him always lead to punishment, loss of lands and military battles, enslavement, and near destruction.  And every time Israel had to work harder and harder to get back to His light.
Seeing this cycle got me thinking about my own life and the cycles I go through.  We, as humans, are constantly going through cycles.  Waxing and waning.  I can see it in my personal life.  Fitness goals.  Relationships with friends and family.  My career.  And even my Christian walk.  Much like we did on the field, I can see those times when I ran from His light, went through a period of rebuke, and had to work hard to get back to the light.
I challenge you today to look at your own life.  Look for those cycles and where you are.  Work to get back to the light and work even harder to stay there and show other people the way.  That’s what we are called to do.  As leaders.  As part of the F3 nation.  As men.  And as Christians.
