Text:



“Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every hindrance and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy that lay before him, he endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:1-2‬



Main Point: Faithful enduring trials of life mean glancing at those around you, but gazing intently at Jesus. He finished the race “for joy” so we could overcome trials.

COT today is about walking in Faith

I am teaching through Ephesians. Yesterday we covered a portion of chapter 2 verse 2. It begins with the phrase, in which you formerly walked. It is referring to the spiritual state of the Ephesians people when they were dead in trespasses and sins.

I asked my youth kids what it meant to walk with something, and what was a life like if you are walking in sins. If you are walking with sins and trespasses, it’s a way of life for you. You have no relationship with holiness if you are walking in trespasses and sins.

Once we defined an unrighteousness walk, we looked at a Holy walk, and specifically Enoch. Enoch was Noah’s great grandfather, and Genesis 5 tells us that He walked with God and he was not, for God took him.

Then in Hebrews 11: 5-6 we see that Enoch was translated, he never died, and was taken up to be with God, for he pleased God. Then it says:

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

So my friends, if you want to please God, then by faith, walk with Him, believing that He is, and diligently seeking Him.

There are only two ways to do this, that is reading His word, and prayer. There are many ways to serve Him, but service does not grant you an audience with Him. Again, Hebrews 11:6 ,without Faith it is Impossible to please him.

MOLESKIN:
Walk in Faith, believing in Him and earnestly seeking Him.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I heard this idea from Jocko Willink, who is a former Navy SEAL officer and author of a book called Extreme Ownership. He articulates the difference between motivation and discipline. Motivation is the opposite of discipline. Motivation is the spontaneous urge or desire to do something, and often leads us to start something new. But motivation is a feeling, transient and fleeting. It may support you for a while, when you are well rested, healthy, and relaxed. But like all feelings, it has a tendency to abandon us when we are tired, or sick, or stressed. Discipline is, by contrast, the learned behavior of perseverance in spite of obstacle. Discipline receives the conclusion of mental activity, in which we identify what we ought to do, and holds us to the doing. Motivation is like the impassioned “falling in love” which often propels us into a romance, but discipline is the agape/caritas/charity love that stands against the flux of time.

Motivation feels good, but discipline bears fruit. Discipline reminds you what you know to be true in spite of what you feel right now. I often desire motivation so that I need not exercise discipline, but my experience is that it usually cuts the other way: When I exert discipline and do what I know I should but don’t want to, I find that motivation often follows. The key is to enjoy it while you have it without becoming dependent on it, for as soon as you start seeking motivation, it will abandon you.

In Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis discusses this idea in his chapter about faith:

Now Faith, in the sense in which I am here using the word, is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods. For moods will change, whatever view your reason takes. I know that by experience. Now that I am a Christian, I do have moods in which the whole thing looks very improbable: but when I was an atheist I had moods in which Christianity looked terribly probable.

So when we see this common thread running through love and faith and discipline, I suppose it comes as no surprise that Jesus followers were first called Disciples, functionally “those under discipline.” So, I exhort you to abandon efforts to “get motivated” and instead “get discipline”.

Meanwhile our children, friends and family often take the back burner and we rush so much that we wind up missing them and everything important that one day we’ll give anything to get back. So slow down and appreciate today appreciate the ones around you and make sure to remind them ow much you love them.
