CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I was reading a devotional by Paul David Tripp. On one day he says “If God intended for all the days of your life to be easy, they would be. No, in grace, he intends for your days to be his tools of refinement.”

If it was up to me and MY agenda, everyday would bring peace, comfort, pleasure, predictability. I’d have all the money I needed. I’d never be sick. My relationships would be flawless. Suffering would not be part of that. Waking up at 4:50 to exercise would not be part of that. Losing a job, marriage, a friend or a family member would not be in that equation. We like to define God’s goodness, faithfulness, love by how he meets our agenda.

But…

‘Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. ‘
James 1:2-4

‘You rejoice in this, even though now for a short time, if necessary, you suffer grief in various trials so that the proven character of your faith — more valuable than gold which, though perishable, is refined by fire — may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. ‘
1 Peter 1:6-7

‘Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have also obtained access through him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. ‘
Romans 5:1-5

There are many passages like this…God is not working to meet our personal definition of happiness. And when we are expecting that, we are going to be disappointed. We’re going to wonder where he is and if he really loves us. But if we understand that just maybe God is after something better, which is our becoming holy (sanctified). We don’t get stronger when we “fart-sack”, right? We don’t learn how to win until we’ve been beaten a few times and we see the better plan. So just remember that his love and his plan is much greater than ours. He offers true hope and redemption and I hope you’ll take that with you today. Trust in that and have courage.

Leaders must serve others…

“But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be a servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and give his life as a ransom for so many.” Matthew 20:26-28

I am extremely thankful to be a part of this group. I was lured in by the first F Fitness, but the third F Faith is was what I needed, and the second F Fellowship was the glue that kept me coming back.

F3 is such a great organization to be a part of. You guys challenge me on and off the court! Your workouts are hard (sometimes CSAUP), but the challenges you lay down at the end, your words, your actions, your prayers, that’s where the magic is!!

You challenge me to be a better man. To be a better husband, a better father, a better leader in my home and in my community. To serve others and be what God has called us to do.

I’ve got a lot of room for improvement, but I want to thank you for the push!!

I encourage you to look for opportunities to serve : things like Work Day, volunteering at the homeless shelter, donating blood, etc

Insert any personal comments, notes, devotion content, etc.
