CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
So, at the first of the year, YHC stated that I was going to start to take a few minutes to start my day in prayer. I am sad to report that I have failed miserably. I may have gotten a couple of days at the beginning, but that was it. At JUCO, Spotter has been issuing a monthly challenge. His choice for March: 10 straight minutes of prayer and meditation. Before beginning, I thought “how am I going to fill 10 minutes”? Sad right? You know what? It was super easy! I just started talking to God about all the things on my mind and before I knew it, 10 minutes were gone. Here is my challenge: participate in this monthly challenge. What a way to build our relationship with the Father!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.

It goes on to talk about the ancients: Noah, Abraham, Moses and so on. What they went through in life and how God challenged them with tough situations. 

13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.

So they trusted that God had everything in control and they were just a small part of His story. 

I mentor a small group of high school guys and last week we asked each other “Do you truly believe that God loves you?”  

I asked them what about when things are going wrong in your life. 

One of my guys said that when he goes through a hard time in his life he just simply has to give it up to God and practice faith. I was humbled by his statement, because I had to admit to him that my go-to reaction to hard times is to try to figure it out and fix it on my own. I end up wasting a lot of time until God smacks me in the head and reminds me that He is there.

COT – RISK.

I’m not a natural risk-taker. But in this season of Lent, I’ve been challenged to risk something that brings me closer to God, that makes room for Him. You see, risk requires faith. Faith pleases God. Hebrews 11:6 says, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God.” Faith is the only thing that has ever impressed Jesus. Look at Jesus’ interaction with the Roman centurion (Luke 7:1-10). Check out Mark 7:24-30 to see Jesus’ most uncharacteristic interaction with a Syrophoenician/Canaanite woman – as if he was just pressing her faith to keep risking, keep trusting that He is exactly Who she thinks He is, and can do exactly what she thinks He can do. Will you risk courage in a decision, vulnerability in an important relationship, leadership in a situation that requires it, making the tough call even if it costs you personally?

Father of the modern missionary movement William Carey’s motto: “Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.”

Lent is here – Spring is coming. What will you risk IN FAITH moving into the new season?
