CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Stress and anxiety are tough to deal with and I feel like I’ve been dealing with more than usual worrying about my 16-year old daughter, the charity I lead (never enough money), and wondering if I’m fully serving my purpose on this Earth.

I know I shouldn’t worry or be stressed but I am.  The scripture below is comforting and I trust things will be OK.

  • “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.” Psalm 118:6.
  • “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4.
  • “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23
  • “Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” Matthew 6:27.
  • “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5.
  • “But Jesus looked at them and said to them, ‘With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” Matthew 19:26.
  • “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.
  • “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11.
  • “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Paul says: “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more. 20 And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law, though not being myself under the Law, that I might win those who are under the Law; 21 to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, that I might win those who are without law. 22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some. 23 And I do all things for the sake of the gospel, that I may become a fellow partaker of it.”

This verse from 1 Corinthians is one of my favorites. It is important that we strive to be approachable to others that we might get closer to them to influence them for the sake of Christ. However, I sometimes apply this verse incorrectly by allowing myself to transform into a person that God would not want to be when I am around certain people. This verse indicates that we should strive to be all things to all people that we might save some. I believe the hard part of this endeavor is maintaining one’s character. I need to strive to better preserve my character as I seek to influence others for Christ.

MOLESKIN:
Good pre-run with Judge Judy and Erector. Plenty of options available for some extra credit at JUCO, get some!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Focused on one leadership trait we can learn from Christ’s example: Integrity.  Maintain it. Leaders who lose it, lose the trust of those being led. Constantly study your heart and compare actions to God’s instruction and Christ’s example.  A great resource from pastor John Piper: desiringgod.org
