HIMs must learn to release their inner Kraken!  Simply meaning when it is time to do the hard thing they are ready to go and will let nothing stop them.

There is a void in our culture of men who are wiling to stand up and do the right thing when it’s hard.  We all have places in our lives where we are being called to be the voice of reason, truth and/or justice.  We have to tap into the inner strength that comes from trusting that we are part of something larger.

Biblical example: Caleb – Numbers 13 & 14
Moses sends 12 spies to check out the promise land. Here is the report from the spies, “At the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land. 26 And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they told him, ‘We came to the land to which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. And besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negeb. The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country. And the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan.'” (Numbers 13:25-29)

They were backing out!  The land was beyond their wildest dreams, but they let fear grip them and they stopped pushing forward.  All except for 2, Joshua and Caleb.  Caleb spoke up, “But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.'” (Numbers 13:30).  Caleb was ready to do what needed to be done because he was holding onto a great promise and that filled him with uncommon strength.

This same strength is available to each of us!  Hold onto the promises of God.  Remember who you are and don’t shy away from what needs to be done.  When things get tough, release your inner Kraken!

MOLESKIN
Smaller group this morning, a lot of people traveling, but this PAX left it all on the field today.  We went hard for 60 minutes and everyone gave their all.  Afterward we had good fellowship at Panera and then departed to conquer our day.  Great start to the weekend.
