Psalm 143:8 – Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.  Show me that way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
MOLESKIN:
I failed to mention this while catching my breath and delivering the BOM, but I came across this verse while reading a devotional called Swing Thoughts which applies golf lingo to Christian life.  The book was talking about the benefit of warming up with a bucket of balls, and equated a routine of closeness with the Lord with  a warm up for whatever life might throw at you.  We do that at F3.  By the time most of the city wakes up we’ve already risen, grinded, laughed, joked, shared, and prayed.  We’ve hit our bucket of balls and are more ready for the “round” than we would have been otherwise.  Never skip warm up.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Coffee-teria all week next week.  Be there.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”

MOLESKIN:

The quote above is from C.S. Lewis’ book Mere Christianity. God is in the process of making you into something magnificent.  This is especially true if you have suffered a great deal in your life.  God will tear down the walls of your life, and He will rebuild them into something that can house His glory.  We often wonder why God is allowing such great suffering in our lives.  The answer is quite simple, however; some of us have major walls to be torn down.  On the other hand, as a Christian, it is always worth it to endure the tearing down process because, in the end, the beauty that is created is more magnificent than we could have imagined.   Often, we are content to be “a decent little cottage”, however, this is the Christian equivalent to being lukewarm.  God wants to build something incredibly beautiful in you. For some of us, that means extensive renovation.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ockham’s Razor is the principle that entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily, which is often translated into “the simplest solution is usually the correct one.”  Look for simplicity.  Also known as, the K.I.S.S. method – keep it simple stupid.  Enjoy the simplicity.  See, e.g., Proverbs 16:8 (“Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.”).

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Pat and her family for the loss of Cory, for Aladdin and his work family and the trying year that they have had, Ribbed’s wife, the blood drive, and the brothers participating in Hardship Hill.
