4 Men Put in the Work this Morning with a Special Appearance Mr. Rogers just walking through the neighborhood.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Many people think that prosperity and success come from having power, influential personal contacts, and a relentless desire to get ahead. But the strategy for gaining prosperity that God taught Joshua goes against such criteria. He said that to succeed Joshua must (1) be strong and courageous because the task ahead would not be easy, (2) obey God’s law, and (3) constantly read and study the book of the law – God’s Word. To be successful, follow God’s words to Joshua. You may not succeed by the world’s standards, but you will be a success in God’s eyes – and his opinion is most important.
MOLESKIN:
Joshua 1:5-9 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As i was with Moses, so i will be with you; i will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land i swore to their ancestors to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this book of the law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have i not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
From the song “Messiah” by Beautiful Eulogy

I can’t always rely on my desires
But I treat them like the Messiah
I can’t always rely on my desires
But I treat them like the Messiah
Whatever it is that gives that feeling that we can’t live without
The joys we try to get that only God can give we highly doubt
What allures and arouses the heart we can’t figure out
But it’s the quickest way to account for what we prize and are most proud about
These “gods” make promises but always lie to us
The kind of lies that says they’ll keep us safe and satisfy us
We blame the lies outside of us
But it’s the lie that lies inside that captures the depth of desires and false messiahs
We seek pleasure in anything, we overestimate everything
Endlessly trusting in empty entities
Secretly searching for anything in moments of blessing
While exiting edicts of Eden over our ecstasy
When a good God gives good gifts we generally tend to twist the list
And take the list of good gifts that God tends to give and make general “gods” out of gifts
I suppose what exposes the worship in most of us
Is a close look at most of our thoughts, fears, and emotions
No matter what I do
I can’t ever make it last
I just repeat my past
I’m so broken
So much I thought I knew
All the things that I pursued
I’m worse off than before
I can’t always rely on my desires
But I treat them like the Messiah
I can’t always rely on my desires
But I treat them like the Messiah
The saddest fact is that I search for satisfaction
As if I lack it when in fact I lack nothing
That’s the reason for my lackluster prayer life
And my lust for distractions, it’s so easy to see in hindsight
I must confess it’s the mess I acknowledge when I’m
Stalling on my responsibilities and don’t apologize, but make excuses
Like my physical exhaustion is a license for narcissism
And speaking recklessly without caution
I often wonder, why I’m so awkward in conversations
Wishing I could switch places, envious of others
But my envy is a reflex of my ignorance
‘Cause I don’t know the details of their daily existence
I just assume the weight I carry is the heaviest
But I’ve never been a heavweight
My legs get heavy when I wait
Hope deferred so I prefer the immediate
And exchange the true God for what seems more expedient
It’s meaningless
I can’t always rely on my desires
But I treat them like the Messiah
I can’t always rely on my desires
But I treat them like the Messiah
Help us not be haste when it comes to temporal blessings
And always see them for what they’re actually meant to be
A mere extension of Your love and kindness
Extended to an undeserved humanity
Help us not see greater value in the gifts You give
And not become distracted from their intended desires
May we regard the world and all that is in it
As nothing compared to the satisfaction of knowing
Our Messiah

Who Am I Becoming By What I’m Doing?—Jon Tyson

Sometimes a great question is all you need.

After all, you become what you repeatedly do. If you don’t like what you’re becoming, change what you’re doing.
