The Q shared 5 practical steps that have helped him battle the “kaos” of life and cultivate an inner peace that surpasses understanding:

1. Surrender to total trust in Christ – this settles once and for all the ultimate question of where you will spend eternity.

2. Believe God’s sovereignty rules over all, including your life (all over the Bible).  This removes any fear or anxiety about your life and what happens to you.

3. Trust the Lord to meet all of your needs. This eliminates all concerns with not having enough.

4. Maintain a clear conscience. This protects the inner peace that you have.

5. Accept the way God made you. This prevents the stress and anxiety of trying to change things beyond your control.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked about suffering.  I’ve had several people I’ve been walking with who are going thru some serious suffering.  Seems like we all know people in our life who are in the midst of it.  You just have to live long enough and you will suffer.

I’ve been reading thru Job.  Reminded the guys about Satan coming to God, God pointing out Job, and Satan’s accusation that Job is ONLY worshipping God because of how much God has blessed him.  So, God allows Satan to take away those blessings and Job enters probably the most extreme suffering known on earth.  Job’s faith was being tested to see if it was genuine.  Was he worshipping God for the gifts God had given him or because God was God?

Job said — “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”

The test of suffering is coming to each one of us, and we probably have friends walking thru it right now.  Let’s come alongside them, pray and encourage them, and bless the name of the Lord.

2019 has been a tough year among our F3 brotherhood – we have dealt with illness, injury, death.  In light of that and also in light of the Christmas season I decided to share several scriptures of encouragement to remind us that GOD is ultimately in control and we can find our rest in him.
