  • Circle of Trust:
    •  James 4: 1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

      You adulterous people,[a] don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us[b]? But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:

      “God opposes the proud
          but shows favor to the humble.”[c]

      Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

What’s your story? Actually, where do I fit into God’s story? I have been reading through the Bible with my community group and we are still in the Old Testament. I love the perspective that you get when reading through the Bible. You get to see this amazing story full of countless events that all point to God’s glory. Stories of people like David who had this incredible heart for God and for his people. He messed up big time and the Bible does not gloss over this and keeps reminding the reader that he screwed up. But God makes it clear that David was an important part of his story regardless. I read about Ruth and how she was a foreigner that was a nobody. God used her courage and faith and she became the great grandmother of King David. 

Sometimes I read amazing stories like this and wonder how my ordinary life in the suburbs of west Knoxville play into God’s story. I wonder if I am doing enough for God. The fact is, He doesn’t need me, but will use my life to glorify him in his story. So once again I am reminded that it’s not about me, but God will use me for his plan. I heard someone on the radio last night say that it can be a scary thing to say to God, but asking him to “use me” is something he wants to hear.

Little side note: Haste makes waste.  In my pre-coffee brain I wrote 77 instead of 74 on the pavement, so we did 77 reps on the first 4 rounds…. ha oops. Sorry.  That’s what you get for getting me up this early.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Background: This Hero WOD is dedicated to KHK Mark Klement of the Frankfurt (Germany) Police, who was killed in the line of duty on the night of July 7, 2019.

At the time of his death, KHK Klement and his team were attempting to locate and arrest a number of wanted suspects. During a short foot chase on nearby railroad tracks, KHK Klement was struck by a freight train and killed.

The “Mark Klement” Hero WOD was first posted by CrossFit Muehlheim-Main @crossfitmuehlheimmain (Mühlheim am Main, Germany).

Jens Hoppe designed the workout. The rep scheme signifies the year when Mark was born (74), his age when he died (44), and the age of his daughter (11).

Hebrews: 12:1 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Cherish the day – cherish each breath. Run the race! Press on!
