Proverbs 24:3-6 (The Passion Translation)

Wise people are builders—
they build families, businesses, communities.
And through intelligence and insight
their enterprises are established and endure.
4 Because of their skilled leadership
the hearts of people are filled with the treasures of wisdom
and the pleasures of spiritual wealth.
5 Wisdom can make anyone into a mighty warrior,
and revelation-knowledge increases strength.
6 Wise strategy is necessary to wage war,
and with many astute advisers
you’ll see the path to victory more clearly.

MOLESKIN:
During these turbulent and trying times, we are inundated and burdened with information. The craziness of these times will foment a greater pandemic of longer impact: it will be a crisis of mental health – depression, addiction, emotional codependency. What we need is not more information or knowledge, but wisdom. Wisdom that is from above that is first of all peaceable. God’s word provides wisdom and peace during these times.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC has spoken about prayer before. Honestly, it is one of the hardest things for me to remember to do. The Bible instructs us to “Pray without ceasing.”- 1 Thess. 5:17. This is like a constant prayerful state to be in throughout your day. Always seeking wisdom from God in prayer. I feel like I recognize the power of pray, but perhaps I am not fully aware. Challenge yourself in this coming year to be more prayerful. Find a way to make it a habit, make it a consistent part of your day. Encourage those around you to do the same.
MOLESKIN:
“Burpees make you better.” Quote of the day. Use it as you wish.

Matthew 2

Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, 2 “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”
3 King Herod was deeply disturbed when he heard this, as was everyone in Jerusalem. 4 He called a meeting of the leading priests and teachers of religious law and asked, “Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?”
5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they said, “for this is what the prophet wrote:
6 ‘And you, O Bethlehem in the land of Judah,
are not least among the ruling cities of Judah,
for a ruler will come from you
who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.’”
7 Then Herod called for a private meeting with the wise men, and he learned from them the time when the star first appeared. 8 Then he told them, “Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!”
9 After this interview the wise men went their way. And the star they had seen in the east guided them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were filled with joy! 11 They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

    1. Wise men pay attention to God, how/what He speaks.
    2. Wise men still seek the KING, to worship Him.
    3. Wise men give to God their hearts/trust (gold), their time/worship (frankincense), and their right to themselves (myrrh).

What will you give the King of kings this Christmas?

Have a safe, restful, and Merry Christmas!

We Are The Body

THE SCENE: Clear, Dark, High 30s
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Side Straddle Hops, Tempo Merkins, Cherry Pickers, Run a lap around the parking lot

THA-THANG:
The workout consisted of 6 stations we ran between and conducted 30 second of various exercises at each station.  Participants chose a body system (Arms, Abs, Back, and Legs) to exercise at the station and together, we worked the whole body.  Each participant got a chance to lead a station by using cards prepared by the Q, thus working the “head” of the body. After the 30 seconds of exercise, all participants would do 1 “burbie for the body” and the “head” would read a bible verse from the card to exercise the “heart.”

MARY:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The theme verse today was Luke 6:45b “… for out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.”  This is why we read scripture at each workout station – to fill our hearts with something good.  It is so easy to fill our hearts with crap from the world, that we need encouragement and reminders to dwell in and on the Word of God.
