CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Yesterday I received this text from my daughter concerning my grandson.  “B. just told me the world is filled with bad people and someone blew up three people and one person died. I am sure he heard if from one of us talking. If you hear him saying this try to reiterate that people are good. Also, try to not talk about that stuff in front of him. He is too little to know about people killing people outside of his pretend superhero’s. It seemed like it worried him and I don’t want him to be scared of life.”

It seemed like it worried him and I don’t want him to be scared of life.

We are talking about a 4 year old boy but when I thought about it more, how many of us go through stages like my grandson where we can be (scared of life). As adults, we all know the world if filled with difficult times and evil as well as good but how often do we let the evil put us into a mental state that makes us scared of life.

John 19:28 records Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, I am thirsty. A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, it is finished. With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

It is finished. Those 3 words should give us great comfort when we fall into the trap of being scared of life. We cant control the evil and hard times that we will face during our life. Whether its a death in the family, a sickness or the spin of Fox or MSNBC concerning the world news, an active shooter situation in a Nashville school or a shooting in Midtown, we cant hide from the hard times and evil of this world. With this said, we have the blessing that when Jesus made the statement “it is finished”, he completed the last step that was needed for us know that as believers, we are assured an eternity in the presence of The Father.  This was due to a perfect sacrifice we did not deserve. Don’t let this world make you scared of life. Always remember, the requirements for our salvation was finished by Jesus on the cross.  We don’t have to be scared of anything!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Leadership many times means having to think on the fly and be able to articulate things off the top of your head.  Abraham Lincoln was one of the best at extemporaneous speaking.  But Lincoln’s secret was that he actually practiced speaking extemporaneously – whether verbal or non-verbal in his preparation.

And while there may be times when we are completely taken off guard by something, as leaders we need to be ready to lead – with verbal and non-verbal leadership.  So care must be given in our preparation even if we never have the opportunity to demonstrate our preparedness.

1 Peter 3:15 states, “but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.”

Working through scenarios of preparedness is something we should do in several areas of life, whether for work, home, F3, and our Christian walk.  Be ready to lead.

MOLESKIN:
Praises for new babies; prayers for Ride Along (sick) and Binks (House Hunting).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church.”
Ephesians 5:25

What a golden example Christ gives to his disciples! Few masters could venture to say, “If you would practise my teaching, imitate my life;” but as the life of Jesus is the exact transcript of perfect virtue, he can point to himself as the paragon of holiness, as well as the teacher of it. The Christian should take nothing short of Christ for his model. Under no circumstances ought we to be content unless we reflect the grace which was in him. As a husband, the Christian is to look upon the portrait of Christ Jesus, and he is to paint according to that copy. The true Christian is to be such a husband as Christ was to his church. The love of a husband is special. The Lord Jesus cherishes for the church a peculiar affection, which is set upon her above the rest of mankind: “I pray for them, I pray not for the world.” The elect church is the favourite of heaven, the treasure of Christ, the crown of his head, the bracelet of his arm, the breastplate of his heart, the very centre and core of his love. A husband should love his wife with a constant love, for thus Jesus loves his church. He does not vary in his affection. He may change in his display of affection, but the affection itself is still the same. A husband should love his wife with an enduring love, for nothing “shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” A true husband loves his wife with a hearty love, fervent and intense. It is not mere lip-service. Ah! beloved, what more could Christ have done in proof of his love than he has done? Jesus has a delighted love towards his spouse: He prizes her affection, and delights in her with sweet complacence. Believer, you wonder at Jesus’ love; you admire it–are you imitating it? In your domestic relationships is the rule and measure of your love–“even as Christ loved the church?”

-Charles Spurgeon
