CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Have the right perspective when things go wrong.  My A/C went out in my house and it’s going to be expensive to fix.  While I don’t like spending a ton of money unexpectedly, it’s not the end of the world.   My family still has a roof over their head, clothing on their body and food to eat.  As leaders in our home we need to remember that our wives and kids are looking at us to see how we handle adversity.  We need to show them that they are the priority, not material possessions.

Proverbs 27:12 “A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions.  The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.” (NLT)  Too often times I find myself being the simpleton.  Reflect throughout your day at a particular time such as lunch and pray about your day and needs/concerns so that God keeps your heart receptive to His ways.  If you want prudent results you can’t act in a manner of the simpleton!!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Periods vs. Commas”

  • The enemy tries to place periods in our life (death of a family member, a hard time, loss of job or loved one, tragedy like Vegas shooting, etc) that insinuate the game is over, that’s the end of the story. God looks at that and turns it into a comma instead, allowing whatever hard or difficult thing we’re going through or experiencing to not be the end of the story, just more of a pause as he carries us through to the “next part of the sentence” or stage of life.
  • Whatever periods you have experienced in your life and may be experiencing now –> God will turn that into a comma and carry you through.
  • Your story is not over. The is not the end. What seems like a unsurpassable period in your life is not the end of the story. Trust God to turn it into a comma and help you realize that there is more to come. You were made for more than to just be defeated by whatever period the enemy has put in your life.
