Waiting on the Lord In the Midst of Loudness

  • The loudness of the world that we live in – there is such a deafening loudness.
  • An example of this is the Presidential Debate last night
    • Political leanings, opinions, views – that’s not what this is about.
    • One of the great things about F3 is that when you arrive at the AO – all that stuff gets checked at the door.
    • However that’s not what this BOM is about – I only use this example because watching it last night – I was just thinking – this is loud. So loud. The theme I took away as a 26 year old, as an American, and most importantly as a follower of Christ – was a deafening loudness.
  • No luckily there’s not a debate every night but what do we do as High Impact Men when we’re constantly surrounded by a loudness from the world?
  • Andrew Murray’s book “Waiting on God” has some great points towards this
    • So there are two ways that touch on the how and why of waiting on God through the loudness
  • (1) Waiting on God for Instruction
    • Psalm 25:4-5 — Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long
    • Murray writes: The psalm has always been a very special one because of its reiterated expression of the felt need of the divine teaching and of the childlike confidence that that teaching would be given. Study the psalm until your heart is filled with 2 thoughts: the absolute need and the absolute certainty of divine guidance.
  • (2) Waiting on God With the Heart
    • Psalm 31:24 — Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!
    • Murray writes: Let the heart wait at times in perfect silence and quiet; in its hidden depths God will work. Be sure of this, and just wait on Him.

If that’s not a hard thing to do I don’t know what is. 

To Pav or not to PAV, that is the question

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The word for today was about leaning on each other. Trusting each other and helping each other through difficult times. Not being timid about reaching out to someone when you are struggling. F3 is made for that. The work out this morning was based on a group and then separating out to yourself and coming back together as a group. Everyone worked a little bit harder when they were with the group than on their own. #isi

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
-> recently I had my father message me saying where his last will would be in case anything would happen. And that’s the thing about life, we never know God’s plan for us, but we trust him and follow his words or his message. This got me thinking about the impact we have on people around us.

This led me to some song lyrics by one of my favorite bands, which are:

Just the other day I looked at my father
It was the first time I saw he’d grown old
Canyons through his skin and the rivers that made them
Carved the stories I was told
He said
“Son, I have watched you fade in
You will watch me fade out
When the grip leaves my hand
I know you won’t let me down
Go and find your way
Leave me in your wake
Always push through the pain
And don’t run away from change
Never settle
Make your mark
Hold your head up
Follow your heart”
Just the other day I stared at the ocean
With every new wave another must go
One day you’ll remember us laughing
One day you’ll remember my passion
One day you’ll have one of your own

Because of all the uncertainties in life, I’m asking you to create some sort of message for the people around you. What sort of message do you want them to have. You can make a gratitude list for the people around you, you can list off a set of values that you have learned, whatever it is. Make it personal for the person you care about. Let the people around you know they are appreciated.

Thank you,
MOLESKIN:
