CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Reflecting on encouragement from Jesus in Matthew 7 to remove the log in our own eye to better serve our brothers who need help with a speck in theirs… encouraged the PAX to set goals, share them with others, and then measure their success or failure to achieve.  We all need to strive to progress in our fitness, fellowship, and faith and we all need accountability to help us along the way.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The inspiration for the Word came from Caveman.  Last time I led at Shamrock, I talked in the BOM about legacy.  Living in such a way that we leave the legacy that we want to leave.  After the workout, he made the comment, “What we do with our ‘dash’ matters….”.  What was he talking about?  He meant, that one day your body will be ash and there will be a tombstone with your name on it.  It will have the day you were born and the day that you died – and in between, there will be a DASH.  That dash represents today, this week, this year.  You are living that DASH.  What we do with our ‘dash’ matters.

  • Are you doing your utmost to use your precious few years wisely?
  • Perhaps there is a hatchet that needs to be buried
  • Perhaps there is a neglected relationship that needs investment.
  • Perhaps there is a bad habit you need to put to death
  • Perhaps there is a good habit you need to build into your lifestyle
  • Are you using your precious few years wisely?

Psalm 39:4-5, “Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.”

Psalm 90:12, “Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.”

Hebrews 3:13 ‘But exhort one another every day,as long as it is called today, that none of you may e hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”

Especially with our M’s but this applies to everyone we come in contact with. If you have something nice to say, go ahead and say it. Give the word of encouragement, give the compliment, and speak the words of praise. It will make a massive impact on people’s lives.

Luke 15:20-21 – Prodigal Son

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

Zephaniah 3:17, “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great

delight in you; in His love, He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”

I am often / most of the time the prodigal son. Maybe daily? 

I walk off on my own. Live my life. Drift away from my relationship with God, yet he welcomes me back with love that only he could give.
