CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I shared a story about a car accident I saw last night. Three kids were in a rather nice SUV and went off into a ditch. They had been clearly drinking as I smelled alcohol in the car heavily. It was a good opportunity where I could’ve witnessed to the kids but did not. God gives us opportunities that we need to act on.  We also talked about tolerating the sinner but not tolerating the sin. Jesus died as we were still sinners for us, but he did not like sin.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I have heard over the years that the time you are 33 years old is often called your “Jesus Year.” The ‘Jesus Year’ is age 33, the year that scholars generally believe Jesus of Nazareth was probably arrested and crucified in Jerusalem after starting a spiritual, political, and intellectual revolution. I have often heard people talk about “What they are going to accomplish either before or during their Jesus Year. 

Once I hit 30, I started thinking about my Jesus Year. At 30 I was running regularly and losing weight consistently. I had several major goals for my Jesus Year, but one of them was to run a full marathon before or during the time I was 33. Seeing as I turn 34 tomorrow, I don’t know if I am going to make that goal. Once I realized that I wasn’t going to make that goal a few months ago, I got a little down. I was discouraged and upset with myself. I was looking at the negatives of my life, not the positives. 

During my Jesus Year, I have been promoted twice at work, ending with a dream job that I absolutely love. I started F3 and not only got back into focusing on my fitness but brought me a whole new passion and zeal for my faith and gave me a brotherhood of men I didn’t even know I needed in my life.  

Sometimes we focus too much on the negatives. We focus on what others are accomplishing. We focus on the goals we didn’t achieve. Don’t fall into the trap of “Keeping up with the Joneses.” Frankly, trying to do that breaks one of the 10 Commandments. When we compare ourselves to others, when we stack our failures against the successes of others, we are coveting our neighbor’s goods rather than focusing on the good in our own lives.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I’m pretty sure we have read this verse many times at F3, but it’s one of those that I need to read often. 

Matthew 6:31-34

31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God[e] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

I’m sure none of us here are guilty of worrying. Our jobs, families, friends, health, money. The Bible tells us over and over that God’s got us.

To be honest, things are not going so well at my work. I’m very busy right now, but overall as a company we have about half of our normal cash flow right now and we really need things to pick back up by early next year or we will all be looking for new jobs. That’s at least 3-4 months out, but it pops into my head about every hour of the day. I start trying to figure out how to fix my situation. Yesterday I was driving to work and running the numbers in my head again, then I just stopped and realized what I was doing and just simply prayed that I would not try to fix this, that I would let God be in charge.
