COT:
There are some crazy stories in the Bible! Sad hell, God‘s anointed king ends up. He just got distracted by his own kingdom. We have to be careful not to do the same. The only way is to abide in Christ!

“Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” He said, “Bring up Samuel for me.” When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul.” The king said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” And the woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.” He said to her, “What is his appearance?” And she said, “An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped in a robe.” And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid homage. Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Saul answered, “I am in great distress, for the Philistines are warring against me, and God has turned away from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams. Therefore I have summoned you to tell me what I shall do.””
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭28‬:‭11‬-‭15‬ ‭ESV‬‬

““I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[virtuous-leadership-school] Q1.7 Shieldlock – The Horizontal Relationship between Men

AO: virtuous-leadership-school
Q: Borg
PAX: Otis, Spinner, Spellcheck, Borg
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
WARMUP: Coffee, Prayer and Stories

THE THANG:
Men hunt best in a pack.
– But some things you need to do on your own.
– Watching others fail can provide optional approaches.
– Some can hear, some can watch, some must do to fail – Example of peeing on an electric fence – some people just have to do it to know not to. Lol.
– Persistence hunting is done as a team, the result is shared.
– Wolves hunt in a pack, but don’t share – pecking order.
Can you fight Adversity beforehand? You had better!
– Mechanic training technique – push apprentice more and more every day to their breaking point and learn from the reaction – rage or reason?
– Every man’s response is his responsibility.

Ties directly into the Whetstone discussion for next week. Sometimes you are a mentor without realizing it.

COT:

I regret doing some things in my life but right now, I regret not doing some things as well. You know that I had a friend from church, Jeff, that died from cancer a few weeks ago. His funeral was Sunday. I regret not knowing him better. Sure, we talked on occasion and texted quite a bit at times but I kept saying we’ll get together when you get to feeling better. We had plans a couple of months ago but he was exhausted and slept through the time we were going to get together. He was sick, hurting and struggled with sleep so I told him he needed that sleep and to not be sorry about it and they we’d schedule another time to get together…but he got sicker and died.

Part of me thought he’d get better and we’d be going to baseball games together in the future. Part of me was scared because I didn’t know what to say to him when we talked. I was so pissed that his cancer kept coming back and he kept getting turned down for clinical trials. He was so positive and while he wanted to live, he was OK dying because he knew where he was going. He was strong and I regret not learning more from him when I could have.

Regret is sorrow or remorse over something that has happened or that we have done. Regret can also be a sense of disappointment over what has not happened, such as regretting wasted years. To be human is to have regrets because making mistakes is a universal experience.

I’m certain if I went around this circle that each of you could name at least one regret.

Here are some interesting quotes that I found…

“The biggest regret of your life won’t be what you did, it’ll be what you didn’t do.” – Lee Brice
“Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.” – Victoria Holt
“Live life to the fullest.”
“Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.”

Peter is one biblical example of someone who deeply regretted a decision. Although Peter was committed to Jesus, his fear made him run away when the soldiers came to arrest Jesus, and he later denied his Lord. His actions did not come from a desire to sin, but from impulse, spiritual immaturity, and fear. He deeply regretted his actions and was forgiven.

I want to challenge you to not have regrets. If you need to make a call or ask forgiveness or change your ways or eat better or exercise more or read more scripture or pray more or stop stressing about everything, etc…do it today…or stop doing whatever it is today. We’ll never be perfect but we can all be the best version of ourselves so please push and encourage me and I’ll do the same to you.
