CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I am due to become a first time father, likely this month. And with that comes many worries. Small, simple worries like: Do I really know how to change a diaper? And deeper, more significant worries like: Are we going to fail at this? Are we going to be financially okay? What if my son doesn’t follow Christ? Especially in today’s culture, these are worries that are always lingering. If I am not careful, it can take over my mind and effect the way I view myself and God. When these times come, I remind myself of Philippians 4:6-7, which says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” It is interesting that he doesn’t say that when we make our requests known to God that He will instantly solve our all problems and our worries will go away. It says the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. So, instead of my mind being filled with worries, fears and anxieties, it is filled with the peace of God. 

So, I know I am not the only one with worries, fears and anxieties, whether with kids, work or something else going on. Whatever that thing is that is on your mind right now, give it to the Lord, cast it on Him and the peace of God will come and guard your heart and mind.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
Ephesians 6:10‭-‬18

MOLESKIN:
This PAX showed up equipped to get stronger and meet there challenges . The HIM equips for his occupation

Likewise we need to daily equip ourselves with the whole Armor of God so we can be equipped to stand against evil as well as help those in our lives to stand as well.

By teaching the next generation,  our spouse how to also stand against the evils and challenges to come

Psalm 103:6-11
6 The Lord gives righteousness
and justice to all who are treated unfairly.
7 He revealed his character to Moses
and his deeds to the people of Israel.
8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
9 He will not constantly accuse us,
nor remain angry forever.
10 He does not punish us for all our sins;
he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.
11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him
is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
Eph 4:26
“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
James 1:19
19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

Tim Keller on Anger

• https://youtu.be/2v-2ewGCQB4
• Note that God reveals himself as slow to anger. Its OK to get angry. To be like God, however, we need to do it slowly and at the right things.
• Anger is not the opposite of love; hate is and the ultimate form of hate is indifference
• Anger has a basic goodness. In this form is it response to love being threatened.
• What do we get angry about? There’s our loves and maybe our idols.
• On the flip side, what are things that should be getting angry about but don’t?
• In Mark 11, Jesus got angry about sin in the temple keeping Gentiles away from God. Yet, in his anger we are told he began to teach the people. He was in control of himself the entire time.

Was Napoleon revolutionary or revolutionary? Thought taken from bottom of page 24 in “Freed to Lead” book.

We often think that we must be inventive and creative to have impact whether it be leading a workout, being a father, a husband, or at work. Napoleon invented nothing new, but instead took all of the best parts of the  inventions and creations before him and put them to good use. We can do the same in all aspects of our lives. You don’t have to come up with new ideas or inventions to lead a good workout, to be a good husband, to be a good father, or to be a successful employee. Find others that have found success before you and borrow the best parts that will work for you. This is how we can find success and move forward.
