In Wild at Heart, John Eldredge talks about three things in the heart of every man:
– An adventure to live
– A battle to fight
– A beauty to rescue

Being a HIM means paying attention to each of these three aspects of our heart.  Bottom line…IT’S NOT ABOUT US!  We draw breath to be life-givers to others.

18 PAX showed up for work today, welcome to FNG Quaker!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sunday’s message has stuck in my mind this week.  The topic was faith and putting trust in God for both the big things like salvation and the little things that bring us anxiety or worry.  The phrase that hung in my mind was “practicing” trust.  If we are not intentional about where we place that trust on a day-to-day basis, our natural tendency is to trust ourselves or something that we can see.  We get together in the mornings to stress ourselves physically, training our bodies to respond to the demand.  Spiritually, it’s only through intentional practice of continually turning things over to God that we can train our stress response to do the same.  Search your heart for any areas where your trust is placed elsewhere, and surrender those to Him.
MOLESKIN:
Good shoulder content today… The DP Pax may be a little too uptight for the breakdancing.  Or maybe they just need more practice!.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Doing more than what’s required.

One of the things that my wife and her father has taught me is to do things better than needed. It use to drive me crazy that they would be so intense on perfection and doing things exactly right or better than what was asked of them. My thought process was just get it done, get it done right, but just get it done and do it quick.

She has taught me to take my time at things when I can and really look at details and how it can be done the best way not just “done”.

Challenge: the next thing you are tasked to do, do it one to two steps better.

BOM
Two Types of Commitment:
Constraint
– Constraining commitment is forced
– Feels like a stifling of our freedom

Dedication
– Dedication commitment is a choice
– Feels like an exercise of our freedom

 

The reason we tend to fall back on constraint commitments is that it places the responsibility of our commitment onto someone else.
– We want the results, but aren’t willing to shoulder the responsibility.
– I believe this give us insight into why “accountability partners/groups” so rarely work!  They are a constraint commitment.

 

I think the perfect example of this is the person of Jesus and his work on the cross.
Hebrews 12:1-2
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”

 

What are your physical, relational and spiritual commitments?  Are they marked by constraint or dedication?

“And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics….And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭9:1-3, 5-6‬ ‭ESV‬‬
“On their return the apostles told him all that they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida. When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and cured those who had need of healing. Now the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.” But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.” For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭9:10-14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Once we learn to put our faith in God it becomes second nature to “trust” him in the small things. We get to work and can look around at our lives and say we “trust” him, even “serve” him by our typical functions. In this case, the disciples had just been authorized with power to do all the things that they had seen Jesus doing. They went out and did as they were told and came back to excitedly report to Jesus that they had been successful. But 5 minutes later when a really big problem was presented, they handled it the same way that we do. “Oh crap man, that’s a big one. I don’t think it can be done”

Where in your life is Jesus telling you to “give them something to eat?” What is the big challenge He is telling you to have big, ACTIVE faith about? Find it and do it!

This was a brutal shoulder workout. The forward rolls in the rain on muddy grass were crazy and the guys worked hard. Not every Q is this much fun!
