Welcome to Pennies and Trousers

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭19:14‬

What we take in with our ears and eyes is what the words of our mouths become and will be what we mediate on in our heart. Reading the Bible, praying, and spending time with others that have similar beliefs all help us take in good things so when we are pressured and squeezed by life, what comes out is honoring to God.

5 HIM got to learn their ABCs a little better

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss,

And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,

Save in the death of Christ my God!

All the vain things that charm me most,

I sacrifice them to His blood.

See from His head, His hands, His feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down!

Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,

Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine,

That were a present far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We as men are called to be leaders for our families. Our families will tend to go both mentally and spiritually in the same direction we are headed.

“And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.””

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭24:15‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We have probably all heard the last part of that verse before and maybe even have it hanging up in our house somewhere. Joshua was commanding the people that he led to chose who they would follow. He was getting ready to die and wanted to encourage the Israelites to follow God. He knew that it started with him being the leader of his own family. How are each of us leading our families?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Do Hard Things

All of today’s beatdown was inspired by the CSAUP from a few weeks ago. It was hard to do but in the end very rewarding. I think that is often the truth. When we do hard things we reap the best rewards. This can be something physically challenging like a CSAUP but it also applies to other parts of our lives. We have to be willing to step out and take risks to grow. Maybe that means committing to reading the Bible daily because you don’t like to read anyway. Maybe that means taking that new job or position that will push you to grow. Maybe that means stepping into a leadership position within an organization. Maybe it means treating your wife like Ephesians 5:25 says:

“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,”

‭‭Whatever it is seek out the hard because that is where we find the greatest growth.

I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.

— Frank Lloyd Wright
