CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

1 Timothy 4:8

8 “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”

We are willing to put in work and grind out brutal workouts in order to see our physical bodies become the best that we can possibly make them.  We do that so that we can withstand attacks on our physical bodies and care for ourselves while maintaining good health.

We must also be willing to work on and train our spirit man by reading the word and spending time with God in prayer to strengthen our spirit.  When we do this, we strengthen our spirits to be able to withstand the attacks of the enemy on our lives.  Make sure you are training your spirit as, if not more diligently than you do your physical body.

Discussed the need to fight for faith in God just like we fight to get better at other areas of our life, fitness, family, job, etc. Sometimes we may not feel like fighting for faith but just like we had to fight to make it up the hill in DORAS we need to fight to believe in God’s promises.

“Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. (NLT)” -Phillipians 2:4

We all as human nature would have it worry about ourselves.  I know that I do the same at home with my wife in regards to helping at the house or with the dog, etc. after a long road game or a stressful day but she needs my help as a teammate and spouse.  This is true for all of us in lots of areas, the challenge today is to see how we can be sensitive to other’s needs and adhere to them today.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Take an “inside look” at your heart on a regular basis.  Ask your self deep and challenging questions.  Examine yourself before the Lord.  Don’t walk away with guilt and shame, but instead respond with Godly repentance which will lead you closer to the Lord, with a better understanding of your desperate need for HIM in every area at all times.   Read 1 Timothy 5.  We have 2 choices:  1) Run after the Lord day and night or 2) Run after our own pleasures and desires and if we do this we will be dead even though we are alive.
