COT:

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you.” – 1 Peter 5:6 (ESV)

Men are often admired for their strength, leadership, and independence. However, true strength in the eyes of God doesn’t come from asserting our own will or proving our might; it comes from submission. Submission to God means trusting His plan over ours, acknowledging our limitations, and leaning on His infinite wisdom and power.

In our daily lives, this means letting go of control: Recognize areas where you’re trying to steer your life without God’s guidance.

Leadership in Christ’s model is also about service. How can you serve your family, friends, or even strangers today in a way that reflects Christ’s love?

Lastly, understand that God’s timing is perfect. Even when you feel powerless or delayed, trust that He is working for your good.

Today, identify one area in your life where you’ve been resistant to God’s leading. Pray for the humility to submit that part to Him. Ask for the strength to wait patiently on His timing and to serve others in humility.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: read Jeremiah 29:11 and shared that birthdays are a good time to reflect on what’s been accomplished and what you want to still do. Also discussed that we tend to overestimate what we can accomplish is a short time and greatly underestimate what can be accomplished longer. So please look at any hardship through the lens of the last several years vs minutes, hours, or days. It will help you recognize that there’s a process happening and right now you might just be at a hard point.

COT:
In a world full of randomness people overestimate their ability to predict events. Just when we think we have it figured out, something unexpected happens. How we handle ourselves in these moments is critical. You can either let it defeat you, or embrace that it’s God’s plan for you. Choosing God’s path will positively shape your character.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Escape from Haw Ridge

COT: I am seeing more references to God and Jesus in society – from athletes in the NFL and college football to people serving in the government. I hope that it is all sincere (we can’t judge what is in another’s heart) and a sign that society is embracing God again and moving closer to his teachings and will. Time will tell but take hope and solace in these little things and be part of a larger revival in your homes and communities where and how you can.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:”Life’s a Ruck”
Alright, fellas, let’s talk about life. It’s a lot like rucking, isn’t it?
* The Load: You’ve got your responsibilities – family, work, bills. That’s your ruck. It’s heavy, it’s uncomfortable, but you gotta carry it.
* The Terrain: Life throws curveballs. Sometimes it’s smooth sailing, other times you’re climbing uphill, facing obstacles, maybe even getting lost.
* The Pace: There are days you’re crushing it, feeling strong and motivated. Other days, you’re dragging, every step a struggle.
* The Team: You’ve got your brothers, your support system. They help you carry the load, navigate the tough spots, and keep you moving forward.
* The Finish Line: There isn’t always a clear finish line. But the journey itself, the discipline, the camaraderie – that’s what matters.
So, next time you’re facing a challenge, remember the ruck. Dig deep, find your rhythm, and keep moving forward. You got this.
