“The only thing in your control is effort.
That’s all & that’s everything.” -Mark Cuban

Perseverance. It is a word that I have struggled with as of late. I am in the very late stages of my Ph.D. dissertation and all of the motivation MUST be intrinsic. I must continue to persevere. I must continue to put the effort in every day to finish. This lesson isn’t just for my dissertation, but also for my job, my family, and my relationship with my M.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We spent a great deal of our time thinking about the What we are doing/going to do and also about the How we are going to do it.  We spend very little time thinking about the Why.  Why is what we are doing important?  Why does is matter and what purpose does it serve?  Simon Sinek posed this idea as a business tool and sales model, but it’s directly applicable to our lives.  For instance, why are you part of F3?  What are you hoping to get from it?  What are you planning to give back or give to it?  Why do you parent the way you do?  Why do you treat your wife the way you do?  For those of us of Faith, why do you believe the way you do?  Why do you follow Christ?  It’s ok if you don’t have an answer today to these questions.  I’m still exploring some of them myself.  But simply saying, “Because I’m supposed to,” or, “Because that’s how I was raised,” isn’t going to cut it.  Explore that Why.  Understand that and you may find that it’s easier to adjust your What and your How.

Mark 2:1-5 — When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home. Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them, four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”

Who can you count on to carry your mat? Are you surrounding yourself with the kind of people you can count on, when the chips are down, when the odds are not in your favor, to put you on their shoulders and carry you to Jesus.

You should take some time and study Jonathan Edward’s Resolutions.  There are some 75 of them and he wrote them over the span of his life.  You can actually google it and find them.  Consider them and then come up with your own.  Resolutions are “resolved” meaning the matter is settled – not “I hope to achieve this.”  It’s done.  I wrote down one this week: “RESOLVED.  I will no longer speak loudly or harshly with my children.” What would you write?  Write it down and look them over each day as a reminder.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
From My Utmost for His Highest – March 30:
The reason many of us stop praying and become hard toward God is that we only have an emotional interest in prayer. It sounds good to say that we pray, and we read books on prayer which tell us that prayer is beneficial— that our minds are quieted and our souls are uplifted when we pray. But Isaiah implied in this verse that God is amazed at such thoughts about prayer.

Worship and intercession must go together; one is impossible without the other. Intercession means raising ourselves up to the point of getting the mind of Christ regarding the person for whom we are praying (see Philippians 2:5). Instead of worshiping God, we recite speeches to God about how prayer is supposed to work. Are we worshiping God or disputing Him when we say, “But God, I just don’t see how you are going to do this”? This is a sure sign that we are not worshiping. When we lose sight of God, we become hard and dogmatic. We throw our petitions at His throne and dictate to Him what we want Him to do. We don’t worship God, nor do we seek to conform our minds to the mind of Christ. And if we are hard toward God, we will become hard toward other people.

Are we worshiping God in a way that will raise us up to where we can take hold of Him, having such intimate contact with Him that we know His mind about the ones for whom we pray? Are we living in a holy relationship with God, or have we become hard and dogmatic?

Do you find yourself thinking that there is no one interceding properly? Then be that person yourself. Be a person who worships God and lives in a holy relationship with Him. Get involved in the real work of intercession, remembering that it truly is work— work that demands all your energy, but work which has no hidden pitfalls. Preaching the gospel has its share of pitfalls, but intercessory prayer has none whatsoever.
