CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM
Often we measure our sense of security and significance by our external circumstances…where we “are.”  A stronger, truer expression is to look at the direction we are heading in.  Our circumstances may be tough, but if keep our eyes fixed on God, and seek to live with honor and integrity we will find a strength and resilience we didn’t know we had access to.  Conversely, we may be in a “good place” circumstantially, but if we don’t guard our heart and mind we will soon find life looses it’s joy and wonder.  Bottom Line: Life is a pursuit, not a destination!  What are your eyes fixed on?  How can you help someone in your life shift perspectives?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ephesians 6:10-17

In my reading in the book “Wild at Heart” I was pondering how prevalent the enemy is in our daily life and we may not realize it. The idea of Satan fitting into our theology is an easy enough concept but our modern age has a political, psychological, or scientific explanation for almost everything. We can often times read right past some scripture that attributes illness, depression, or misfortune to satanic forces but not really expect to encounter that in our daily life. I encouraged the PAX to understand how badly Satan desires to destroy anything that bares God’s image specifically our marriage. It is imperative that we as men know who we are in God’s eyes, and who our wives are in His eyes as well. if we meditate on this often it will be far less likely for the enemy to gain a foot hold in our lives.

    We/I like to think that I’m in control and am pretty awesome most of the time.  In reality, I owe any success to God who has put people/circumstances around me to succeed.  I need to acknowledge God and give him thanks for all.
