CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
From Ozark, Jacob Snell: “Ill humor in the morning brings about a darkened day.”  I know that I have been struggling lately at work, and I really thing it is because I’ve not been able to work out as much.  When I get up, I have extra time and look at the news or social media, which is inevitably something negative.  I think it’s pretty obvious that it sets the wrong tone for the day and its hard to climb out of that hole dug so early.

But when I come and work out, I’m listening to people talk about doing things with their kids, or seeing faces for the first time in a while and without them knowing it, they have pointed me in the right direction for the day.  That positivity just in words, that goes along with having done some exercise, prevents a darkened day.

“Tend the Garden” – John 15:2

MOLESKIN:

When man was first created, Adam was given a garden to tend. It was given to Adam first and not Eve. By design. After Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God called Adam first. He will always call Adam first. By design.

So what’s the state of your garden you’ve been entrusted to protect and care for in the middle of this pandemic? Your garden could be your family, your vocation, your finances, your life in general.

But the interesting thing about a garden is that there can be both food and bad that exist together. And sometimes the weeds of a garden look good, they look like they fit in. And if you have ever gardened, you’ll know this process well – to pull weeds or things from the garden that shouldn’t be there, it can be a back-breaking process. Sometimes you have to get on your knees and get dirty and it takes a lot to uproot some weeds that have gone un-noticed, and it’s a hard process, a grueling process, but your garden is better for it.

Take that and apply it to your life. Your garden God has called you to tend to as the man.
