COT: ”But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.“
‭‭II Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

As men, so many times we get stuck “in routine” or “on brand”. We plateau in some area of our lives and that’s where we stay.
Can’t lose that extra 10 lbs
Can’t get that promotion
Can’t connect with my spouse/girlfriend the way I should

But one major aspect I think we miss is changing so we can get those things. To add the missing components to break through that barrier.

It’s the same spiritually. Our text talks about adding things to continue to grow and not to stagnate.

That’s why we do things like F3.

Can you HEAR the music?

COT: Quote from the movie Oppenheimer: “Algebra is like sheet music. The important thing isn’t can you read the music, it’s can you HEAR it” . Faith is similar. You can check all the boxes of the rituals of your faith, but the goal is to hear the music of your Sky Q’s love in your heart and soul. It may take a while for that to happen, and it’s not necessarily connected to how may boxes you check, but it’s an incredible feeling hearing that song in you once you attune to your God. “During the quiet moments, when I still my mind and my body, I can hear the song of His love in my heart and in my soul.”

COT: Be present! Not only physically but mentally. This is something I struggle with. Follow through with your commitments to not only be physically present where you are, but be there mentally as well.

Ephesians 5:15-16
15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

I consistently find myself in another world in my own head thinking about the things that need to be done. My wife and son deserve my mental presence. Consciously make an effort to be there with them, listening to what your loved ones have to say. Set aside the burdens of work, the task list for church and F3, to be present with them. Make the headspace to be the man you have been called to be. Be a HIM!
