CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I’ve been memorizing verses recently using an app called fighter verses. https://www.fighterverses.com/ Check it out if interested.

One of those verses is Deut 10:12-13:

12 And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?

— Deut 10:12-13

Two things I’d like to share.

  1. One is a reminder to obey God. These verses do a good job of fleshing out what that looks like.
  2. Two is a reminder it’s for our good. It’s amazing that God would set it up that obeying him is not just for him but also for us. Obey! and rest assured it’s the best thing to do.

Ate some blackberries on the way down, added some stone work and dips on the guardrail with a little time for Mary

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
John 14:1 says, “Let not your hearts be troubled.  Believe in God; Believe also in me”.

I heard recently of a commentary by Frederick Bruner on John that this word “believe” more literally translates as “relax into”.  This of course made me think of a hammock.  We must put our full weight into a hammock to enjoy the swing, but it takes faith that it will hold us to really relax.  Ronald Rolheiser in Holy longing describes prayer as “Relaxing into God’s presence”.

My prayer for us today is that we can Believe, Rest and Relax into God’s goodness. Just as generations before us have found God to be enough to hold us up.
“But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”  Acts 15:11

“Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.”
1 Corinthians 16:13 NLT

If someone ask you about your faith, it’s easy to answer that you’re a Christian, but when they ask you why, it can prove to be more difficult.

As men, we need to be ready! Stay ready!

God gave his only Son to die for our sins and save me, you, us…

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Have you guys ever thought about the term climbing the ladder at work?  Inherently, you always step on someone (i.e., the rung or step on the ladder) to go up. In the same way, you affect someone else by taking a promotion or trying to climb your way up

How about a different analogy…you may not often think about the way in which flowers and other shrubs grow, but they take nutrients from the soil in order to blossom and really flourish.  Well… those mechanics of feeding on the nutrients take away those nutrients from other plants, bushes and flowers.

So be a flower, but not a big one. Also be a rung on the ladder because those are a necessity to the ladders overall structural integrity.

Consider that standing at the top can be unstable and potentially unsafe.

“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. – Galatians 6:10 NIV
