CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When it comes to goal setting and goal achieving, fear is enemy number one for a lot of people.  Fear and self-doubt do not come from God.  He is not a fearful God, and we are made in His image.  Give your fears to God, and let His promises be a tailwind to propel you towards your achievements.  He will impower you to take the necessary actions.  He won’t do it for you, so you must make repetitive decisions to persevere, and those decisions will be rewarded when you reach your achievement and feel the satisfaction of proving yourself to yourself.
MOLESKIN:
Isaiah 41:9-10 – I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you.  I said, “You are my servant;” I have chosen you and have not rejected you.  So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The New Year is a great time for resolutions, reinventions, and the start of new routines, diets, and commitments to exercise. I spent Saturday doing attending TruckStop, a PreRuck at Asylum, the Beatdown at Asylum, and the Polar Plunge in Townsend. After all of that, I still only made 3 small little tally marks in my accountability journey for 2022. It seemed like a whole lot of work for 3 little lines in my 50-page notebook. We are less than a week into 2022, do not let The Disrupter mess with progress. Do not let The Disrupter turn you away from your goals for one mistake, for one setback.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We went around the circle and named off something that caused us stress, anxiety, or to be scared in 2021.  Most of us focused on our children, their safety, and how we’re doing as fathers and leaders.  2020 kicked off a 2 year cycle of stress, anxiety, fear, frustration, and anger.  2021, for most it seems, was even worse.  We’ve heard nonstop garbage and noise about all the things we should be scared of.  Covid, jobs, the economy, foreign governments, our own governments, non-citizens and citizens alike.  It’s overwhelming the amount of fear that’s being preached by our leaders and news outlets.

I told myself for most of 2021 to ignore the garbage and shouting, to not be scared, to just keep on keeping on.  It wasn’t until the last stretch that I realized that maybe they were on to something.  Maybe they were right.  Maybe I should be fearful.  But they were, and still are, preaching the wrong kind of fear.

Paul tells us in Philippians 4:6, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”  In Psalm 56:3-4 we find David saying, “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.  In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.  What can flesh do to me?”

Stress and anxiety have no place in our lives, gentlemen.  It will not add anything to our lives.  And we far too frequently find ourselves wallowing in the wrong kind of fear.  There is one, and only one, thing we should fear.  That is the Lord God Almighty.  Our Creator, Provider, Healer, and Savior.  Not as the world fears.  Not as we fear punishment or harm.  But a fear out of love, respect, admiration, and praise.  A righteous fear.

Job 28:28 describes fear in this way, “And he said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.'”  Matthew 10:28 instructs us, “And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul.  Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”

Let us live our lives with the right kind of fear, the Fear of the Lord.  Let us give him all of our worldly fear, stress and anxiety to him.  Let us lead our children, spouses, friends and neighbors with a righteous Fear and help spread the Gospel to this dark world that so desperately needs Him.  Make 2022 the Year of Fear!
