Matthew 6:2-4

…2So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.…

Why is this so hard?  It’s so tempting to humblebrag. Why is it not enough that my Creator sees me and my heart when I do a good deed? I have had several moments this year where I helped someone out, didn’t tell anyone, and it was so hard to not share about it.

I’m faced with asking myself, who am I doing this for? Is it really an act of love if I’m doing it for myself, for my own glory? My challenge for me and you is to ask God to put someone in your path that needs help. Ask God to give you strength and true love for Him and the person you are helping. Afterwards, go back to God and give Him the glory.

Assume bear crawl position and stay there. The Attacker begins to chase his prey throughout the kill zone (in bear crawl mode). Once contact is made with PAX (“tag”), contacted PAX becomes the attacker, returns to his corner, and it starts over. Tweak the exercise with the size of the kill zone and the number of people.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes men don’t pay attention to many emotions – we named the big ones: anger and hunger (not really an emotion). But we often worry without knowing it – when we can’t influence/control/manipulate a situation to the outcomes we want, those things often roll around in our minds or become susceptible to triggers without our knowledge. This is worry. (It’s like the photo negative/evil twin of meditation – rolling something around in our mind.) A well-known scripture teaches us how to deal with this. Philippians 4:6-7 (The Passion Translation):

Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life,  then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.

I mentioned a song from Maverick City – Jireh

MOLESKIN:
Praying for wisdom and discernment for a specific situation; Crazy coffeeteria at Dunkin: met a guy with a cool Malinois (Belgian security dog) just moved to Oak Ridge from San Diego that needs F3 (we’ll see if he shows up); a sobering T-bone car accident at the nearest intersection that could easily have killed both drivers, and a mom at Dunkin who thought her son was involved (same kind of car).

Isaiah 40:28-31

28Have you not known? Have you not heard?

The LORD is the everlasting God,

the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He does not faint or grow weary;

his understanding is unsearchable.

29He gives power to the faint,

and to him who has no might he increases strength.

30Even youths shall faint and be weary,

and young men shall fall exhausted;

31but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings like eagles;

they shall run and not be weary;

they shall walk and not faint.

THA-THANG:

Run to K25 hill; read a Proverb; 1 min of each exercise; run up and down the hill

  1. 11:27 – Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to him who searches for it.  — Bear crawl up the hill – 20 lunges at top
  2. 12:24 – The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor. — Merkins – 10 basilisks at top
  3. 13:25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, but the belly of the wicked suffers want. — Big boys – 20 lunges at top
  4. 14:4 – Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox. — Burpees – 10 basilisks at top
  5. 15:21 – Folly is a joy to him who lacks sense, but a man of understanding walks straight ahead. — Burnie up the hill – 40 lbcs at top
  6. 16:31 Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life. — Al Gore – 20 big boys
  7. 17:28 – Even a fool who keeps silent is wise; when he closes his lips he is deemed intelligent. — Freddie Mercury – 40 lbcs at top

After completing all the exercises, Snaggletooth chose a random number between 11 and 20 to do an exercise again.  He chose 18 and we did another minute of burpees with stretching at the top.  Next Slappy chose a number:  13 and we did another minute of big boys with 20 lunges at the top.

Next the PAX RTB (returned to base).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I shared Proverbs 13:7 – One pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

I shared my perspective on the current debt saddled society that buys things with debt to impress others and pretends to be rich while never building wealth while others live within their means and save for the future.

Slappy mentioned the same applies to fitness.  We all came out this morning to hurt our bodies so that we could be more fit and healthier in the long term.  Pretending to be in poor health now to have great wealth of health in the future.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

God has given us the Holy Spirit to help us along our paths. So long as what we are doing, or the path we are trying to explore is not in violation of the small still interior voice, we are probably alright. If the action or considered action causes us any sort of distress, it is most likely not in accordance with God’s plans for us.

 

MOLESKIN:
For the sick and elderly.  For our brothers battling illness and their wives.
