CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ask yourself these two questions every day. In the morning, am I a physical being having a spiritual experience or a spiritual being having a physical experience? Before bed, was I a physical being having a spiritual experience or a spiritual being having a physical experience today? This change in perspective can have a profound effect on how we react to circumstances. Philippians 4:10-13 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. 13 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. Live above the circumstances.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:8-10, NIV)

We all have weaknesses. It is human nature to hide our weaknesses. It is especially true in men. How then was Paul able to “delight in weaknesses?” He heard a word from Jesus: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul saw something, believed in something he could not see because He believed in the One who spoke. May we each find that Jesus is sufficient for us in our weaknesses. His power is made perfect in MY/OUR weaknesses.

Today – July 24th is my daughter’s 18th birthday.  Her favorite verse is Matthew 6:34.  With a bit of context:

  • Matthew 6:31 So do not worry; do not say, “What are we to eat? What are we to drink? What are we to wear?”
  • Matthew 6:32 It is the gentiles who set their hearts on all these things. Your heavenly Father knows you need them all.
  • Matthew 6:33 Set your hearts on his kingdom first, and on God’s saving justice, and all these other things will be given you as well.
  • Matthew 6:34 So do not worry about tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

5-Prayers for our daughters

Let her learn early in life that to obey You, God, is the best way to the life her heart truly desires, (1 Samuel 15:22).

May she find comfort in Your ability, God, to reach her, hold her, and rescue her, (2 Samuel 22:17-18).

Let her find confidence in You, God, even when hard times come and she doesn’t know what to do, by keeping her eyes fixed on You, (2 Chronicles 20:12).

May she keep herself under control and not give full vent to people and situations that anger her, (Proverbs 29:11).

Let her walk in the security of Your assigned worth to her. Give her a strong work ethic and health to accomplish all her tasks. Give her a heart that desires to extend her hand to those in need. Protect her for the right husband, a man of respect and godly honor. And let her be a woman of joy and laughter whose Christ-centered character is what makes her most beautiful, (Proverbs chapter 31).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I shared about my experience with leadership. For 20 years, I have been trying to dodge leadership of any kind. I have never thought of myself as having natural leadership abilities or aspirations. Rather, I see myself as a servant, a helper, a worker, even as a follower. I stayed away from leadership because I feared making mistakes, looking incompetent in front of others, and being responsible for the results and for others. These fears have influenced me to stay below the radar of leadership, while always trying to gain the acceptance and approval of leaders. It’s quite a head trip.

Being aware of these tendencies, l still find value to stepping up and leading – scared and all. Imperfect but still showing up. I wanted the guys to know that I view leadership as an act of service and love for them. Because I have since come to accept the conviction that every man is a leader. Every Christian is a servant-leader. Every husband, every father. Each of us is a servant-leader.

“For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.” (Galatians 5:13, NLT)
