CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Selections from Judges 16.
MOLESKIN:
The thrust of what I talked about is the fact that Samson acted like an idiot with Delilah. He knew this woman did not have his best interest at heart, and still continued in his relationship to her after multiple times where she proved untrustworthy. I think Samson did that because he relied on himself and his strength to get out of his trouble. However, once he revealed his heart to Delilah, Judges 16:20 records some of the most frightening words in Scripture, “But he did not know that the Lord had left him.” To be honest, I think we all have a little Samson inside of us. We think we can master or control or lives. Many times that will evidence itself in how we think we have sin under control. We sometimes live like we can play with sin and never get hurt. I encouraged us all to be quick to repent and find forgiveness because sin bites, kills, and separates.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We as men are called to be leaders for our families. Our families will tend to go both mentally and spiritually in the same direction we are headed.

“And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.””

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭24:15‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We have probably all heard the last part of that verse before and maybe even have it hanging up in our house somewhere. Joshua was commanding the people that he led to chose who they would follow. He was getting ready to die and wanted to encourage the Israelites to follow God. He knew that it started with him being the leader of his own family. How are each of us leading our families?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Very simple. Just listen. (set a timer for 1 minute to listen quietly). If you’re anything like me, that silence can feel really awkward and it is tempting to fill it up with unimportant jabber. But as leaders, we need to lean into that uncomfortable silence and be available for the people around us. So lead through listening with your family, your work mates, and your neighbors.

MOLESKIN:

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Do Hard Things

All of today’s beatdown was inspired by the CSAUP from a few weeks ago. It was hard to do but in the end very rewarding. I think that is often the truth. When we do hard things we reap the best rewards. This can be something physically challenging like a CSAUP but it also applies to other parts of our lives. We have to be willing to step out and take risks to grow. Maybe that means committing to reading the Bible daily because you don’t like to read anyway. Maybe that means taking that new job or position that will push you to grow. Maybe that means stepping into a leadership position within an organization. Maybe it means treating your wife like Ephesians 5:25 says:

“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,”

‭‭Whatever it is seek out the hard because that is where we find the greatest growth.

I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.

— Frank Lloyd Wright
