COT:
James 1:19
19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

I have been reading through The Peacemaker. It is full of scripture and advice on how to engage with conflict well. When to stand up and engage in conflict in a Christ like way and when to purposefully (not passively) decide to overlook minor offenses.

One great question to ask yourself when deciding on how to proceed is:
Will this advance the kingdom of God or just advance or benefit myself?

Q SIGNUPS had me down for the day, but I did not sign up, so we went with the calendar.

We warmed up and did a revised version of the no glove love workout, that focuses on lunges and wall squats. 10-1.

Then we did three rounds of 20 heels elevated squats, and split squats.

Next we grabbed blocks and repeated 3x the following:
20 good mornings
50 bench press
20 Curls

Finally we moseyed back to the flag where we did an ab exercise with 10 merkins in between until time expired. We all called one exercise and did 60 total merkins.

COT:

My son has these wristbands that have Bible verses on them. He wanted some of those and I loved that. Now, I’m not a fan of reading a single Bible verse, without context, because it’s easy to take and use them in ways they were not intended.

Anyway, I was looking through his collection the other night and one really simple one jumped out at me. It was Colossians 3:2 which says “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Some translations say to seek. Seek, meaning to desire, have passion for. Well as a matter of fact, that entire day I spent all of my time and focus on earthly things. I was exhausted. I was stressed and I was feeling some despair.

Whether it was about food, money, sickness, work, responsibilities, home repairs, you name it. My day was spent focused on those things.

19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. – Matthew 6

Store up treasures you can access today AND tomorrow. Spend your time focused on the ONE and the ones who matter most. Your mind, body and soul will also benefit today.

COT:
Reading through Proverbs recently and it’s humbling. It’s really a manual for everyone and it challenges our thoughts, attitudes, and actions. It really encompasses every aspect of our lives and just how much of it we offer to God.

I was reminded about anger and what that does to a man. What that does to ME! There’s a lot of anger out there and it’s very easy to let that seep into you. I don’t watch the news anymore. I used to watch it religiously and then I just realized that it was making me…angry. And, there was very little, if anything, I could do about any of it. I can feel the tension in the world around me, today.

How do we respond? There are over 900 verses in Proverbs. Here are two:

1. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. That’s 10:12.
2. The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult. 12:16

Which one of these do we represent? Are we snapping back at others to expose and tear them down or are we seeking to put them in a better light? Tim Keller said that “anger is energy released to defend something you love. When you are in a dispute, stop releasing your anger against the other person in order to defend your ego. Release your energy against the problem (not the person) that is dividing you.”

So my challenge today is to step away from the tv. Take a breathe! If we claim to be followers of Jesus, then we shouldn’t look like everyone else. You don’t have to compromise your beliefs to bite your tongue, offer kindness and show love to someone you disagree with. And when you do that, who gets the glory? It’s not you.
