BOM
Nehemiah was given a vision by God to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem. The task itself was difficult, but he gathered the people and materials to make the vision a reality. But he had doubters: Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arab. They doubted him, ridiculed him, and threatened him. Nehemiah never lost sight of his vision, trusted God, and stayed ready to fight if necessary.

Nehemiah said, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.”

We all have a task at hand, and we also all have doubters. We must (1) never lose sight of our vision,  (2) trust God, and (3) fight for what has been entrusted to us.

MOLESKIN
The PAX stayed in the Circle of Trust as we repped out some familiar and not-so-familiar leg and ab exercises. Because the Q didn’t effectively communicate the need for CMUs, a few audibles were called on the fly to ensure all could participate and get better together.

To be a HIM, we have to be leaders who know where we are going and why we are going there. Life is full of distractions, but HIMs stay committed and focused. One of they keys to living this type of life is to establish and stay true to your N.U.T.s – Non-negotiable, Unalterable Terms! Without our NUTs we can’t be men of impact.

For your YHC it starts with looking beyond this life. Matthew 6:33 – “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

One of the most prominent people in ancient Hebrew is King David. He was a mighty warrior, poet, king…all around man’s man. A little less know is a group of warriors known at David’s Might Men (2 Samuel 23 gives a list of them and some of their incredible feats).   These were men of strength, loyalty, passion and valor, HIMs!

Benaiah is singled out by the text for being a particularly great warrior. The text gives a list of Benaiah’s “great exploits”, suggesting that these are what brought him fame and honor. They include: killing two Moab’s best warriors, attacking a 7 1/2 foot tall Egyptian with a club, stealing the spear that the Egyptian was using, and killing the Egyptian with it, and killing a lion in a pit on a snowy day. This last feat is the topic of a book by Mark Batterson, “In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day: How to Survive and Thrive When Opportunity Roars.” Opportunity is all around us, and as men who want to be HIMs we have to see and then seize it! Most men let fear dictate their next move rather than faith. Benaiah saw an opportunity, jumped in and grabbed it. In the book Batterson offers us a “Lion Chaser’s Manifesto”:

“Benaiah chased a lion down into a pit. Then, despite the snow and slippery ground, he caught the lion and killed it.” – II Samuel 23:20
Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.
Set God-sized goals.  Pursue God-ordained passions.
Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention.
Keep asking questions.  Keep making mistakes.  Keep seeking God.
Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution.
Stop repeating the past and start creating the future.
Stop playing it safe and start taking risks.
Expand your horizons.  Accumulate experiences.  Consider the lilies.
Enjoy the journey.  Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can.
Live like today is the first day and last day of your life.
Don’t let what’s wrong with you keep you from worshipping what’s right with God.
Burn sinful bridges.  Blaze a new trail.  Criticize by creating.
Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks.
Don’t try to be who you’re not.  Be yourself.  Laugh at yourself.
Quit holding out.  Quit holding back.  Quit running away.
Chase the lion!

I believe we all have opportunities in our lives waiting to be seized. Not just opportunities for gain, but opportunities to love and serve others. Lean in and go for it! Don’t cower back or wait for “the right time”…Chase The Lion!

P-nut reminded everyone that time is a precious commodity. Think about the power of 60 seconds and what you can do for someone in a minute. In one minute you can call or text a friend that’s struggling, call your parents and thank them for bringing you life, read a book to your child/niece/nephew. Most importantly, we can spend a minute in prayer for someone in need.

P-nut prayed us out.

The PAX came to work on this post-Easter Monday. Lots of spirited mumblechatter.
