CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Everyone needs rest. Usually we interpret rest as physical. But a lot of times we don’t take time to rest Spiritually. Spiritual rest must be intentionally taken. No one, has ever “accidentally” rested. We  need to intentionally spend time in God’s word. Spend time in prayer, fasting if need be in order to grow in your relationship with God to be spiritually fulfilled. We get busy with work, school and other things in our life that we sometimes put things on the back burner and get caught up in everything that we get exhausted, and can’t seem to rest enough to get back into the groove, when what we really need is spiritual rest.

11 PAX were hitting it hard today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Synopsis from Romans 5:1-11:
1. FAITH in Christ provides peace and access
2. HOPE through Christ allows us to endure suffering to become more Christ-like
3. LOVE of Christ saves sinners from God’s wrath and justifies us now and in the future

Faith, Hope, and Love is a repeated theme in Scripture.

“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 We have also obtained access through him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, 4 endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. 5 This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For rarely will someone die for a just person—though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. 8 But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from wrath. 10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life. 11 And not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.”

MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Acts 20:24 reads, ““But I consider my life of no value to myself; my purpose is to finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.”

So many times we strive to “find God’s will” which is good, but we miss the point of doing His purpose now…no matter how hard of a grind that may be. God put us where we are now for a reason. Do the hard things and fulfill your purpose in the here and now.
