CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A reminder of how we should use what we know to share our faith.   Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves? It’s easy if we just talk about our own personal experiences.  We can’t go wrong, so don’t back away from sharing what God has done in your life with others.

MOLESKIN:
Bonus points to Fins who was dealing with a bum foot today.  He kept the pace and stayed busy with all kinds of extra credit moves while not able to run.  It was motivating to watch him not let an injury slow him down.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Christmas was God’s most successful setback. He has always delighted to show his power through apparent defeat. He makes tactical retreats in order to win strategic victories.

Joseph was promised glory and power in his dream (Genesis 37:5–11). But to achieve that victory he had to become a slave in Egypt. And as if that were not enough, when his conditions improved because of his integrity, he was made worse than a slave: a prisoner.

But it was all planned. For there in prison he met Pharaoh’s butler, who eventually brought him to Pharaoh, who put him over Egypt. What an unlikely route to glory!

But that is God’s way — even for his Son. He emptied himself and took the form of a slave. Worse than a slave — a prisoner — and was executed. But like Joseph, he kept his integrity. “Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow” (Philippians 2:9–10).

And this is God’s way for us too. We are promised glory — if we will suffer with him (Romans 8:17). The way up is down. The way forward is backward. The way to success is through divinely appointed setbacks. They will always look and feel like failure.

But if Joseph and Jesus teach us anything this Christmas it is this: “God meant it for good!”

MOLESKIN:
Aparently Showcase wants to be Shooter so much he is now referring to himself in the name-o-Rama as Shooter.
