The WORD came from James 4:1-10. It is difficult sometimes to be humble and keep our focus on God rather than worldly gain. “Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.”

BOM
Everything we did this morning is nothing complicated or fancy.  Each man could do what we did alone with no problem…the question is would you?  The second F, Fellowship, is what empowers the first F (Fitness).  Our strength is drawn from each other.  Seeking to be the leaders we want to be in our families and community is hard work.  Each day we have to get up and recommit.  Doing it alone is a recipe for failure, but together we can make a little progress each day.

Bottom line – Make sure you are locking shields with other men seeking the same goals you are seeking.  Don’t try and go it alone!  You aren’t meant to do it alone.  Growth is a team sport.

Proverbs 15:31-32 “He whose ear listens to the life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise. He  who neglects discipline despises himself, but he who listens to reproof acquires understanding.”

Be willing to listen to those with more experience and take their criticism constructively.  If you ignore it, you basically are ignoring your own potential growth

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Not prepared for the Word this morning, I decided quickly to turn in The Word to James 1.  This one of my favorite passages. I read the first 8 or so verses.  Trials will come, but you will make it through them and be better in the end if you look to God for wisdom.  Ask God for wisdom, and he will give it if you ask without doubting but with faith.

Prayers for all those recovering from the Go Ruck event this past weekend.

The very best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is today.  Take a moment today and reflect on something that you should have started already, big or small.  Saving for kid’s college, fixing a broken relationship, cleaning out the garage, developing a prayer life, etc.  Take the first step today.
MOLESKIN:
Two times up Jucomanjaro!!!!!!  Well done gentlemen.   Well done.
