CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Many of you know awhile back we were looking for a daycare for our 6 month old and we were quickly running out of time.  I wasn’t worried.  I was praying about it along with other friends and family.  I had confidence God would provide and he did!  An availability came up the week after my mother-in-law could no longer keep him.  God answered our prayers but what did I do after he provided?  I went about my life.  It probably took be a full week until it hit me….I never thanked God for providing!  Philippians 4:6 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”  I did the supplication part of that verse but not the “thanksgiving” part.  Sometimes we come to expect things of God, family, friends and there’s nothing wrong with that.  In fact, we should expect certain things from God, friends, and family.  I expect my wife to love me, be patient with me, share life/family responsibilities, etc.  But that does not mean we should stop being grateful!  Remember as you go throughout your week to show gratitude to those around you.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As I go through life’s struggles, as I pity myself and wonder why, I am reminded of a few people in history that I can learn from. Jesus faced the ultimate struggle and sacrificed for us all. Paul struggled and suffered throughout his entire ministry. James reminded us about struggle: Dear brothers and sisters,[a]when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. James 1:2-4

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Heard this the other day and made me think. Salvation is not earned by moral perfection, so it cannot be lost by a moral failure. What matters is believing loyalty in the one true God. Made me think of the age old conversation on the predestination/free will dynamic. From our limited perspective, the exact nuances don’t really affect our day to day. What matters is we cling to God day in and day out and give Him our loyalty. Think of the characters in the Bible. God always forgave a repentant person for a moral failure. But where people went wrong was going after other gods or elevating themselves as gods. This week, let’s throw our lot in fully with the God who covers our moral failures and desires our loyalty and relationship.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Men are known for having only 2 emotions: anger and sadness. Obviously, we are meant to have more emotional depth than that, so let’s look at the Bible for any examples. Our Lord, Jesus, is a great example of righteous anger. Anger not motivated by hate, but by justice. In America, we are known to be observers over actors. As men, we need to act when we see injustice. We need to get angry and do something about the wrongs done to others. With sadness, our Lord, Jesus, is again the perfect example. When Lazarus, His friend, died, Jesus wept. We can find solice in the fact that our King felt the same that we do over loss. We need to be able to express that and lean on one another in those times of sorrow.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Everyone has heard the term “you always make time for what’s most important to you”. It’s true, wherever your priorities lie, you will find the time to make it happen. Pay close attention to what has become those priorities in your life and if they align with what truly should be important to you.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”  –  Matthew 6:21
