Waiting on the Lord In the Midst of Loudness

  • The loudness of the world that we live in – there is such a deafening loudness.
  • An example of this is the Presidential Debate last night
    • Political leanings, opinions, views – that’s not what this is about.
    • One of the great things about F3 is that when you arrive at the AO – all that stuff gets checked at the door.
    • However that’s not what this BOM is about – I only use this example because watching it last night – I was just thinking – this is loud. So loud. The theme I took away as a 26 year old, as an American, and most importantly as a follower of Christ – was a deafening loudness.
  • No luckily there’s not a debate every night but what do we do as High Impact Men when we’re constantly surrounded by a loudness from the world?
  • Andrew Murray’s book “Waiting on God” has some great points towards this
    • So there are two ways that touch on the how and why of waiting on God through the loudness
  • (1) Waiting on God for Instruction
    • Psalm 25:4-5 — Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long
    • Murray writes: The psalm has always been a very special one because of its reiterated expression of the felt need of the divine teaching and of the childlike confidence that that teaching would be given. Study the psalm until your heart is filled with 2 thoughts: the absolute need and the absolute certainty of divine guidance.
  • (2) Waiting on God With the Heart
    • Psalm 31:24 — Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!
    • Murray writes: Let the heart wait at times in perfect silence and quiet; in its hidden depths God will work. Be sure of this, and just wait on Him.

If that’s not a hard thing to do I don’t know what is. 

To Pav or not to PAV, that is the question

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The word for today was about leaning on each other. Trusting each other and helping each other through difficult times. Not being timid about reaching out to someone when you are struggling. F3 is made for that. The work out this morning was based on a group and then separating out to yourself and coming back together as a group. Everyone worked a little bit harder when they were with the group than on their own. #isi
MOLESKIN:
It was great being back out at the dog pound. Great mumble chatter and we were able to avoid the rain for most of the work out.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

No matter what conflict we encounter at work, at home, out in the world, we know we are not the first ones to be disliked, to be disrespected; we have a great example in Jesus who was spat on (because they were not observing COVID guidelines) and insulted and lied about and 1Peter2 tells us that “He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.” I hope you don’t face any conflict in your day today, but if you do, let that be our example. Let us lead with restraint and leave our case in the hands of a higher power.

Matthew 8:23–27

Jesus Calms a Storm

[23] And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. [24] And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. [25] And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” [26] And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. [27] And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?” (ESV)

Jesus was asleep in the boat for us. Everything he did was for us. Many people know he died for us — as a punishment for our sins so that we could be forgiven. He rose again for us that we might rise again. He also lived for us. When the storm was breaking out with chaos and confusion, He was asleep because he perfectly trusted God. When I get anxious or fearful or fail to respond like this, I remember that He was asleep in the boat for me — that God now views me as if I responded like that.
