Vengeance
This past week, I had someone treat me unfairly, and I was pretty upset about it. My mind raced with ways I could get back at them and give them a taste of their own medicine. I didn’t, I wanted to but I didn’t.

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” (Romans 12:19)

The promise that frees us from an unforgiving, bitter, vengeful spirit is the promise that God will settle our accounts. He will do it more justly and more thoroughly than we ever could. Therefore, we can back off and leave room for God to work.

Moleskin: great work by the PAX this morning in the heavy humidity. We were all literally wringing out our shirts afterwards.

BOM
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:16-17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The next few versus after this contain a list of products of the desires of the flesh. The things the tender stand out to us for things such as “sorcery” or “orgies.” Most of us do not participate in things like that and so it’s easy to glass of the rest of the list. However, “jealousy” and “fits of anger” should really be the ones that stand out to us on a list like this. Everyone of us has her own tendencies, but usually we know that we are satisfying the desires of the flesh when we do these things.

I don’t know exactly what completely walking by Spirit looks like, but I know where it starts. It starts with asking for the Spirit’s help in these situations and in life in general. Also, looking around at the men with whom we are in community and reflecting ourselves against them can be significantly helpful. Most frequently we are all dealing with the same issues and can learn from each other and hold ourselves to a standard together.

The men that came out today pushed themselves hard, but in so doing they also set an example for the man dragging behind them. This is no different in the spiritual life, although sometimes the roles are reversed.

Moleskin
This is a brutal workout, but the men attacked it was bigger and finished faster than expected. They were moans and groans with the double down, but the men rose to the challenge and push themselves hard. I am usually the last guy finishing in these long running workouts, and the same was true today…but the men made me proud to be a Q today!

Incremental Growth

The Scene: perfect conditions – 55 degrees, clear

The Thang:

5:30 COP – 7 min

  • Baby arm circles X 10 (forward/backward)
  • Cherry Picker
  • Merkin
  • Goofball
  • Jog 2 parking lot laps

Line up in parking lot Burpee Dans

Beginning at the curb, perform 4 lunges then 4 burpees, rinse and repeat across parking lot, run back to curb. Then 4 lunges and 3 burpees. Rinse and repeat (then 2 burpees, then 1 burpee). Plank or BBS until group finishes.

Mosey to lower parking lot – find a battle buddy

One man runs the length of the parking lot, performs 5 Merkins, then runs back while partner does Merkins (100), then BBS (200), then jump squats (100). Trade each lap until the total number is completed.

Next exercise:

Group splits: Half begin Bearpees (10 bear crawls followed by 1 Burpee), while the other half start Bernie Sanders on the hill. Bernie Sanders group relieves Bearpee group. Endless until 6:15am.

INCREMENTAL GROWTH

Growth is hard to see. We measure growth. When an acorn is crushed by a 1,000 lb. tombstone, who wins? It’s a no brainer. The acorn always wins. God waters it, and slow growth appears. Let’s all work toward incremental growth in our spiritual life– the same way we are working toward growing in fitness and strength.
