CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

1 Samuel 10.  Then Samuel sent all the people away, each one to his home.  Saul also went to his home at Gibeah, and with him went men of valor whose hearts God had touched.

By God’s grace, I would love for that to describe each of us.  A man of valor, whose heart God has touched.

Valor – “strength of mind or spirit that enables a person to encounter danger with firmness – courage and decisiveness”.

Men of Valor are elusive in a world that’s lost its moral compass, yet every man should strive to be one.

We can aspire to be the men God calls us to be – men of integrity and honor.

What makes a man a HIM?  Attending F3 workouts?  No!  A man is a HIM only if he is living a life of high-impact.  (hat tip to Archie).  Do, rather than seek to seem.  BE a HIM!

MOLESKIN:

Prayers of praise for Rex and Mr. Platfoot.  Prayers of supplication for Tuba, Feeny’s church, Ms. Ocho.

Welcome FNG “Fire in the Hole!”

Favorite quote of the morning, “What kind of coffee is this?  Guatemalan?!?”

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”
Philippians 4:6 -7

“Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

I had both of these highlighted in my Bible and they’re also today’s plan in the app, so I figured I would share them this morning.

God is always there for us! In good and bad times. Remember you can always lean on him.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
7 PAX finished strong this morning.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The You versus You workouts are all about competing against past self and working hard to become better men overall. We can all be commended for wanting to better ourselves as long as our focus is not solely on serving ourselves. Here are a few relevant scriptures to consider.

“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.” – Philippians 2:3-4 NASB1995

And He said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 22:37‭-‬40 NASB1995

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, – Ephesians 5:25 NASB1995

These are just a few passages of scripture that remind us that we should always be more concerned with serving others over ourselves. We are called to put others desires before our own; love God and then our neighbors; and love our wives such that we are willing to die for them. For example, if we go into an argument with our wives with a mind to win, we have already lost because we are not following God’s will.

You are not number one; you are last.
MOLESKIN:
Poor execution of the warm-up, location of the thang, and timer issues from YHC led to the workout running long. My apologies.

Eccl 4:9-10

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“The Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the valiant warriors. You shall march around the city, all the men of war circling the city once. You shall do so for six days. Also seven priests shall carry seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark; then on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people will go up every man straight ahead.”

Joshua 6:2‭-‬5 NASB1995

There are many commands of God that have a functional purpose. For example, it makes sense that the Israelites abided by all the rules concerning leprosy so that it wouldn’t spread to others. There are other commands, like those given to Joshua concerning the conquest of Jericho, that don’t really make logical sense. God told him that He has given the city to them, but God still required something to receive the gift. He required them to march, shout, and blow rams horns. Why? I don’t know nor does anyone. All we can say is that it was a command of God to receive the otherwise free gift that was being given to them. Would they have received the city if they only marched 6 times around the city on the 7th day? Certainly not because they didn’t do all that God commanded. I encourage you to keep these thoughts in mind when studying instructions from God in His word. It may be that we sometimes question God’s commands if they are really necessary. The fact is that if we love Him we will keep His commands. John 14:15
