- Sharing struggles, psalm 38 & 39 are brutal. Raw, gritty. Such is life. Sandy dirty muddy wet cold. Offer it up to God. Pleading for mercy. Pleading for grace. From Political crazyiness to at home marriage battles – what do we do? Life and death on the line with Covid. Are we but a vapor? A smoke? Dust in the wind? Each breath is a gift. Each moment a miracle. It ain’t pretty. I’m not pretty. Forgive me for my mess. Please forgive me for my anger. Thank you for suffering with me today. You are my brother!

Watch this: “Good”- Jocko Willink
If you follow Jocko at all you have surely heard him say “Good” in response to almost every situation, especially when things do not go as planned. The video is linked up above and is sure to fire you up.
With all of the stuff going on around us we can ultimately only control how we respond to things. I have found it beneficial to respond with “Good” and go from there. It helps me remember to take things in stride and take a lesson from every situation and get better no matter what happened. Good can come from any situation if we look hard enough.
Ultimately, if you are a believer, you can say “Good” in everything because we know that the Lord is with us and He is ordering our steps.
Joshua 1:9– “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:
When God speaks, listen. I am often discouraged when I go so long without hearing or feeling like God is trying to speak to me or teach me something.
I went for a run this weekend by myself and listened to the last 10 chapters of Job. Not the most feel good pump you up thing to listen to while you run, but I am behind on my daily readings so I needed to catch up. It was actually very powerful and revealing to me. I loved hearing God’s reaction to Job at the end. God really laid it all out for him and Job just sat there, probably trembling, and listened.
After I finished Job I had a thought pop into my head. I need to spend more intentional devotional time with my kids. I prayed that God would give me more opportunities to spend time in the Word with my kids.
10 Minutes after I got back home Saturday morning my 8 year old daughter woke up and came downstairs. We sat and talked a few minutes and then she ran upstairs to get her daily devotional book. She read it then asked me to look up a few verses that were mentioned at the bottom and we discussed what they meant. Then she wanted to try to find a Christian cartoon on Right Now Media to watch. One of the 1st things that popped up was an episode about Job. She didn’t know anything about Job and wanted to watch it. It led to more discussion during and after the show.
So within 1 hour of my Saturday morning; God laid something on my heart, I prayed about it and He answered it. It’s like God was making Himself known to me in a tangible way. So I’ll end where I started by saying, when God speaks, listen.

Word of the day Receptive!
Receptive is defined as able or inclined to receive especially: open and responsive to ideas, impressions, or suggestions.
Developing receptiveness is a crucial skill If we want to be effective leaders/fathers/professionals/husbands we need to look at every situation with an open mind. No matter how relevant we deem a piece of advice given to us or feedback received on something we have done, we should always slow down enough and be receptive to what is being said and take the relevant parts and grow from every situation.
Challenge: What is one piece of unpopular advice or piece of feedback you have received In the last few weeks that, after further thought, you can learn from and become a better man for, even though it may not have seemed relevant at the time?
1 Thessalonians 5:21
“But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.”
Proverbs 18:15
“The mind of the prudent acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.”
