The Word: Psalm 46:9-11

9 

He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.

10 

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 

The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

John 16:33

33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

 I love hearing the all powerful statements from both God the Father in the Old Testament and from Jesus in the New Testament. 

I just want to encourage you men to lean on this all powerful God that created the universe.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Based on a motivational saying I found. Don’t succumb to the force(s) that are going against you. Be strong with a mindset that you are actually the dominant force that is going to do away with whatever is against you.

The Devil Whispers “You can’t withstand the storm.”
The Warrior Replied “I am the storm.”

 

MOLESKIN:
For Dumpster Dive’s mother and her recovery from surgery. For elderly friend of Cheetsheet and her well being. For Cheetsheet’s daughter and all kids that they become stronger and grow because of the love of their parents. For those suffering from covid and other illnesses. For the unsaid prayers in our hearts.

    • What’s your next level for 2022? Men called out requests for more fellowship, more f3 attendance, more scripture, being in the word more, more prayer.  I too feel these desires to step it up to the next level.  I’ll be attempting to start a website that will challenge us to another level of fitness.   Lord willing, I’m also going to be starting a simple accountability group combined with some scripture memory.  Hopefully all three of these things will help gently nudge us to the Next level in all three F’s (Fitness Fellowship and Faith).  What’s your next level?  Bring it!!!
