CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
From My Utmost for His Highest – March 30:
The reason many of us stop praying and become hard toward God is that we only have an emotional interest in prayer. It sounds good to say that we pray, and we read books on prayer which tell us that prayer is beneficial— that our minds are quieted and our souls are uplifted when we pray. But Isaiah implied in this verse that God is amazed at such thoughts about prayer.

Worship and intercession must go together; one is impossible without the other. Intercession means raising ourselves up to the point of getting the mind of Christ regarding the person for whom we are praying (see Philippians 2:5). Instead of worshiping God, we recite speeches to God about how prayer is supposed to work. Are we worshiping God or disputing Him when we say, “But God, I just don’t see how you are going to do this”? This is a sure sign that we are not worshiping. When we lose sight of God, we become hard and dogmatic. We throw our petitions at His throne and dictate to Him what we want Him to do. We don’t worship God, nor do we seek to conform our minds to the mind of Christ. And if we are hard toward God, we will become hard toward other people.

Are we worshiping God in a way that will raise us up to where we can take hold of Him, having such intimate contact with Him that we know His mind about the ones for whom we pray? Are we living in a holy relationship with God, or have we become hard and dogmatic?

Do you find yourself thinking that there is no one interceding properly? Then be that person yourself. Be a person who worships God and lives in a holy relationship with Him. Get involved in the real work of intercession, remembering that it truly is work— work that demands all your energy, but work which has no hidden pitfalls. Preaching the gospel has its share of pitfalls, but intercessory prayer has none whatsoever.

Psalms 39:1-9

A buddy shared this passage with me this weekend and challenged me to meditate on it. Very powerful wisdom. David is frustrated with people around him. He tries to keep it cool the Christian way, but anger boils up inside him. He meditates and turns to God. God gives him words of wisdom to ponder about this very short life we live on Earth. The tiny things that really matter to us in the moment will not matter in eternity. Our hope is in the Lord! I need to say that daily. I need the Lord’s wisdom and love.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Our word today come from Galations 5:22-25
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

On spring break this week, there was a conversation between my BIL and his aunt in which I was a silent participant.  He’s currently living with his girlfriend and he opened the door for her to comment, “You know you’re living in sin.” “I know I am, but…(irrelevant and unremembered reply).” “But you don’t have to.  It’s a choice.”  And she was dead on.

Our sins are a choice that we make.  Our society has made sin easy, convenient, and accepted as the cultural norm.  But what messages are we sending to our children, our wives, our fellow PAX, and our communities by accepting and engaging willingly in sin?  What example are we setting?  We have an example set forth by Jesus Christ of how to act, both in private and in public.  The Holy Spirit resides in those of us who have accepted Him and guides us and enables us to walk in faith and produce the fruits of the Spirit.  Do you recognize these traits in your fellow PAX?  Your family?  Yourself?  Start with yourself.  Get right with God.    Focus on your form and lead by example.  Live by the Spirit.  Keep in step with the Spirit.  Live for Him and become a true HIM.
