CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Philippians 4:6-7, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything…”  Simple…but not easy.

MOLESKIN:

Each Tuesday, we’ll select a different member of the PAX to focus our prayers on for the next week.  Praying for that man, his family, his challenges, for his victory.  This week, it’s Snaggletooth and his family.

PRAYERS / ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Erector – get well, brother

Snaggletooth – for clear direction about the next chapter of life, for courage, for faith.  Thanksgiving for his wonderful family, and his brother-in-law, who is stepping into an adventure.

Romans 12:1-2 (ESV)

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Reference Numbers 22:22-33

“forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; but he received a rebuke for his own transgression, for a mute donkey, speaking with a voice of a man, restrained the madness of the prophet.” 2 Peter 2:15‭-‬16 NASB1995

Notice what God used to initiate rebuking Balaam. He could have chosen the Angel to do so, but instead He allowed the Donkey to speak. What seemingly insignificant things in our life could possibly be used to rebuke us? God may choose to use these in our lives to help us to see the error of our ways. Pay attention!

MOLESKIN:
Always optimistic in my workouts. There was a lot of hard work put in, but we were not even close to getting through the whole thing.
