CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Romans 8:28

”28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

We see the greatest example of this in the cross. The most broken and twisted thing imaginable—the murder of the Son of God—became the greatest good thing the world has ever known.

With everything going on and the world seemingly breaking around us, it is hard to see things working out for good but we can trust all of God’s promises. Because of this, we can have hope for the future.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: Strength to Wait with Patience

May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy. (Colossians 1:11)

“Strengthened” is the right word. The apostle Paul prayed for the church at Colossae, that they would be “strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience” (Colossians 1:11). Patience is the evidence of an inner strength.

Impatient people are weak, and therefore dependent on external supports — like schedules that go just right and circumstances that support their fragile hearts. Their outbursts of oaths and threats and harsh criticisms of the culprits who crossed their plans do not sound weak. But that noise is all a camouflage of weakness. Patience demands tremendous inner strength.

For the Christian, this strength comes from God. That is why Paul is praying for the Colossians. He is asking God to empower them for the patient endurance that the Christian life requires. But when he says that the strength of patience is “according to [God’s] glorious might” he doesn’t just mean that it takes divine power to make a person patient. He means that faith in this “glorious might” is the channel through which the power for patience comes.

Patience is indeed a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22), but the Holy Spirit empowers (with all his fruit) through “hearing with faith” (Galatians 3:5). Therefore Paul is praying that God would connect us with the “glorious might” that empowers patience. And that connection is faith.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Galatians 6:2 – “Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.”

YHC can be really selfish sometimes when it comes to building relationships.  I expect others to come to me and ask me how I am doing.  This verse helps remind me that the opposite is the goal.  I should be reaching out to others to develop relationships.  Then, we will be comfortable with sharing each other’s load.  I encourage you to reach out to people often to check on them, especially while we are more isolated than usual.  Let’s build each other up!

Chaco, we miss you!  Will Samaritan return from the Fartsack sometime this summer?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

This season of expected homeschooling and online learning has taught me several things: 6th Math happened for me a very long time ago. I didn’t do so hot the first time around, lo, these never-you-mind-how-many-years-ago. My daughter and I have spent 20 hours in the last 3 days working on her math assignments (with a few back assignments to catch up on). After several hours of her old man showing her how it’s done, we took the test and we scored a whopping 50%! Major hit to my self-esteem – my anger and irritation demonstrated that I did not appreciate the humor in it all. Looking back, I owe her an apology for being so cranky. But I am learning her strengths and weaknesses, and I’m gaining a compassion that motivates me to help her in a way that helps her, and not just cater to my ego. I am learning to love her by seeing her, what she needs, how she learns, what she avoids and what motivates her, and I know better how to love her and pray for her. But there’s something else going on that’s pretty important: I am learning that God is at work in me, shaping, teaching me. I am hearing Him. He has been teaching ME during this homeschool season.

What’s He teaching you in homeschool?

MOLESKIN:

We shared and prayed – and we’re believing God for a miracle and for the grace, peace, and strength to keep believing that He is good and faithful in all things. That’s better than the workout!
