COT:
This was a very special day as we passed the shovel flag off to a new leader, Slappy! It is going to be extremely exciting to see what he does in the role and how Shamrock is going to thrive under his leadership.

We have all heard the quote, “Strong men create good time, good times creat weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men.” I head some commentary on this quote from Nick Freitas on this and says, “Bad times don’t create strong men, strong men are made by the influence of other strong men.” He goes on to talk about how strong men are there through good times and bad, but in the bad times, strong men are once again appreciated for what they contribute to society.
I instantly thought of F3 and the group of strong men that I have the privilege of working out beside every morning. All of you have made me a stronger man in all areas of my life and I am thankful for every one of you.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
For most of us helping others is a natural tendency. However, there are situations when it is better to let someone finish his or her task without interfering by offering help. Because it might be important for this person to complete his or her task without any assistance.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve read this often, but lately I’ve heard it on more than a few occasions; The fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS and SELF-CONTROL. Against such things there is no law. (Gal 5:22-23). Paul wrote this to churches in Galatia 2000 years ago.

So what does this mean for us, as believers, here today?

I think that so much in scripture can seem redundant and repetitive. We can recite things over and over and believe that they are true. But do they change who we are? We need repetition, don’t we? Isn’t that the point? Isn’t that why we have church services every Sunday? Dont’ we come to F3 3-5 days a week and often do the same exercises? Why?

If you’re going to be good at something, you have to practice. If you’re going to follow Jesus, you have to read about and study who Jesus was. And if you’re going to live by the Spirit, we have to put into practice these exercises…to grow the fruit. We have to look different from the world. A dark world.

In Matthew, Jesus tells his followers that we are the salt and light of the world. “Let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven (Matt 5:16). So we do these things, not to make us look good but to reflect and glorify the one who is good.

My challenge for us today is to not only memorize Galatians 5:22-23, but to practice these 9 fruits of the spirit. Know them, think about them every day, and put them into practice.

We are going to fail at these, every day, but the goal here is practice. Practice kindness to those around you. Practice peaceful responses. Practice offering forgiveness to those who harm you. Practice being gentle to your wife. Practice patience with your kids. Practice taking a pause when you feel an urge or desire that you know is not from the Lord. Practice listening to a coworker. Practice love.

The more we practice these things, the more they will become habits and the more we will become like Jesus. And when we mess up, often, we take that opportunity and run to Him. We repent and know that He is trustworthy to forgive us.
