CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A friend told me that 2019 had a lot of hard times with a lot of precious moments in between. I couldn’t agree more. It was on some of those hardest days for me that I would happen to find a bracelet that my daughter made. It’s stored on the same hook as my keys and seemed to slip off when I grabbed them on the hardest of days. It says, “Pray”. Those beads stopped me and reminded me where my strength is found.

MOLESKIN:
You should have seen the boys’ face light up with each present. Who knew we could harmonize so well?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked about suffering.  I’ve had several people I’ve been walking with who are going thru some serious suffering.  Seems like we all know people in our life who are in the midst of it.  You just have to live long enough and you will suffer.

I’ve been reading thru Job.  Reminded the guys about Satan coming to God, God pointing out Job, and Satan’s accusation that Job is ONLY worshipping God because of how much God has blessed him.  So, God allows Satan to take away those blessings and Job enters probably the most extreme suffering known on earth.  Job’s faith was being tested to see if it was genuine.  Was he worshipping God for the gifts God had given him or because God was God?

Job said — “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”

The test of suffering is coming to each one of us, and we probably have friends walking thru it right now.  Let’s come alongside them, pray and encourage them, and bless the name of the Lord.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Learn to accept the path God has laid out for you. Over the past three months I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on two F3 Brothers personal struggles. In each of these situations I’ve asked what is God trying to teach them. Then moved to a place of what is God trying to teach me. Here I sit wondering what am I supposed to learn. What I am discovering is that we don’t know what God’s plan is for us or for those around us. But I do know that these two Brothers have taught me that God’s timing is his and we are only to trust in Him.
MOLESKIN:
To those two Brothers, THANK YOU for the lessons learned. You are in my prayers always and I will walk the journey with you. No matter the path.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Does choosing to lose come naturally to us? No way! Most of us struggle. We love to win, and we go to great lengths to avoid second place.

Think about it:

  • The Miss America Pageant has gotten creative with second place; they call it “first runner-up.” We all know it’s a euphemism for second.
  • How about first in line for the throne? Read some history books and see what happens to that guy. Second in line takes him out.

For most of us, second place isn’t easy because it means we are second to someone who beat us. Biblical love—choosing to be second—isn’t the default setting for many of us.

Consider all the debate surrounding Ephesians 5:22, which has been translated, “Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you to do the Lord.” Did you know the word submit isn’t in the original Greek translation of Ephesians 5:22? It actually reads, “Wives, to your husbands as to the Lord.”

In fact, you have to back up a verse in the Greek in order to locate it. Ephesians 5:21 reads, “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”

Husbands, submit to your wives. Wives, submit to your husbands out of reverence for Jesus.

What exactly does it mean to submit? Hupotasso is the Greek word. Upo means “under.” Taso means “place.” Its voice indicates a voluntary action. So quite literally, this passage explains how husbands and wives can voluntarily place themselves second inside their marriage.

It’s a different way. A powerful way. It’s the secret to make your marriage grow for a lifetime. Make yourself purposely second in your relationships.

MOLESKIN:
Nice work today by the PAX. Not much mumble chatter but if they were like me, they were trying to catch their breath.
