BOM:

Control the controllables.    It’s an overused term these days.  Many use it to skip out on responsibility.  The Bible definitely speaks to making good choices and controlling the struggle with inner longings (lust, anger, your tongue, etc.).  There’s also a practical side.  You control what you eat, how much sleep you get, whether or not you beat the fartsack each day, how you teach your children, whether or not you go to church on Sunday, and so on and so forth.   To me, when you roll all of this up it comes down to a message that we all need to be living intentionally.  We need to put one foot in front of the other each day, with eyes wide open to our surroundings and realize that we will have important choices which we can control and we will also deal with circumstances we cannot control.   The goal is to make positive choices when given the opportunity.  Conversely, the goal is also to not beat yourself up when something is truly out of your control….even when you’ve made a good choice but don’t achieve the result you were wanting.  We should never use situations that are out of our control as a cop-out, but rather learn from them and grow so that we will make better choices when acting in areas where we do have greater control.

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.”
Psalms 1:1-3

The key here is that the tree bears its fruit in season, not every second of every day and not before it is ready. Faithfulness usually takes time. Just because you don’t see fruit yet doesn’t mean you won’t, it just means you need to keep it up and be faithful. Don’t get caught up with the jokers and the smokers…delight in the Lord and His word and you’ll see change.

Thank God for answered prayers.
We are always quick to ask God to help. Prayers for ourselves, family and friends. But are we diligent with the praise? So many prayers are answered by our father that we forget to thank him for. Let’s make an effort to thank Him for our answered prayers, our unanswered prayers…for everything!
I am truly thankful for my brothers at F3 and how we push each other to get better in several aspects of our lives. Thank you Lord for my brothers!!

Celebrate

I think we all know the story of the prodigal son, but just in case…

A father has two sons and he has promised than part of an inheritance. One son tells his father he is leaving and wants his part of the money. The son gets the money runs alway and spends it on hookers, booze, and wild parties. He thought he had it all, the money, the women, and tons of friends. But when the money dried up, and the women were gone, so were his “friends”. He found himself working as a pig farmer, but unable to even eat the food the pigs were eating. Wearing rags and living off pig scraps he decided to return to his father and beg for a job.

And we all know that he got there and he had sinned and asked for forgiveness the father celebrated and gave home sandals, a robe, a ring, and a feast. And they celebrate. The image being that God celebrates whenever we are lost from him and we return.

Celebrate being able to get up in the morning to come to F3, celebrate our jobs, celebrate or wives, celebrate our children. Celebrate the love God has for us and share that love as we go out today.
