CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”

‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

http://bible.com/59/1ti.4.8.esv

We are saved by grace, but we should be just as (or more) intentional towards growing in Godliness as we are towards growing in physical fitness. This doesn’t mean start fartsacking more often. It means learn from how you are able to focus on physical fitness, to stop fartsacking on your relationship with God.

MOLESKIN:

26 strong with morning with 1 FNG! Welcome Leaky! (Grant McMahan)
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Not much mumble chatter this morning, but a lot of work got done! Shout out to BlueBird for working with me today.

And the Word:

Are you weary, or tired, or broken down, or discouraged?

2 temptations you will face:

  1. God must not be watching. Is he even aware of what’s going on?
  2. I pray and I pray, but he hasn’t lifted a finger. He must not care. Is God even good?

My problem: I think I can understand what God is doing. There are things I know to be true, and there are 10,000 other things GOD IS DOING that I’ll never see or understand.

Remember Isaiah 40:
“The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.
THEY WHO WAIT ON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.”

TRUST GOD, he will give you rest through his WORD, his SPIRIT, and his PEOPLE.

Will you “Go out” without knowing?
“He (Abraham) went out, not knowing where he was going” (Hebrews 11:8)
See My Utmost for His Highest, Jan. 2
When God tells you to go, he usually doesn’t tell you His end game. Have faith that He knows what He’s doing and obey!
MOLESKIN:
Thanks, Crawdad for taking care of all the cheetahs in the group and making sure they didn’t get bored waiting for the rest of us… My apologies on running over. I really need to get over there sometime during the day to get a good mental map of the place. Doesn’t help planning that the satellite images are all outdated!

FISH ON! As we grow, its about getting more FNGs out to join F3. That does not mean your all over the sadclown with lots of pessure to join us. Sometimes, its just throwing the line out from time to time, let the sadclown swim around the bait for a while. Eventually a sadclown gets hungry and takes the bait! Once hooked, reel them in and keep them!
MOLESKIN:
Keep Fishing
