CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

What are you wrestling with? 

Sin? – That’s great news! That means that you have the Holy Spirit in you.

Your faith? – Again, great news! God knows that we have up and down moments in our lives that challenge our faith. Keep wrestling with God. That way is better than the alternative of walking away from him. 

F3?  – Is it just me? Some weeks I’m on fire for F3 and specifically Shamrock. Other weeks I’m like that Homer Simpson disappearing into the shrubs animation. I’ll just be checked out. Other weeks, I wrestle with F3. Why am I doing it? It is good for me? Physically? Spiritually? Mentally? Should I be coming out here 3-5 days a week?

Your marriage / kids? Same thing. If I’m wrestling with it, at least I’m engaged and fighting for it. 

Your job?  – I feel like this is also a constant. Am I supposed to be here? Am I making a difference? Am I happy? Will I have a job in 6 months? Does God want me to be here? 

So I will wrap it up by encouraging you to keep wrestling. It shows that you care. Just don’t wrestle with it alone. I know there are brothers here that would love to be your coach, cheerleader, friend to walk with you through your wrestling.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Psalm 143:10 

10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!

 1- The request –  “Teach me to do your will,”- Isn’t that basically what we all want and need from God? It’s a direct request to God that he will honor. 

2- The praise – “for you are my God!” – I love this declaration of worship and respect to God. 

3 – Continued praise and doubling down on the request – “Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!” – This gives me a visual for “Your will be done” – David invites God to lead him. He humbly admits that he can’t walk through life on his own. He needs the one and only mighty God to walk with him.

Pride = Destruction
Humility = Honor

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
An empty LaCroix is easily crushed but a filled and sealed LaCroix can withstand at least 240lbs of pressure. As men, we need to be filling ourselves with God’s word, the right relationships, and accountability to others around us. That way when the trials of life come our way we are filled and sealed like a new can of LaCroix that is not easily crushed under the weight of the trials. I am thankful for F3 and the men that are in my life that hold me accountable to not drain down too empty.
