CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I’ve been studying church organization/leadership and one thing that I keep coming back to in everything I read is that we still have responsibility for ourselves. Yes, there are men elected to roles of leadership and charged with overseeing the congregation, but we ourselves still retain responsibility. We need to recognize that responsibility and not forsake it. Take the talents that God has given you and use them for good works.

Luke 12:48b – “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”

MOLESKIN:

Humility: is something that garners wisdom; it is a requirement for wisdom. You cannot be proud and wise. Humility brings wisdom.

On Monday I went for hike on my lunch break. Which I do pretty often. I was wearing a 20lb vest and had on brand new shoes. I lost my footing and in a very awkward and super slow motion fashion I ate it. When I hit it hurt. I made sure there were no visible injuries and finished my hike. I was about halfway through the hike so there was no short cut.

What do you do if you get knocked down? Or fall down in my case? You get back up! You find a way to modify as necessary and keep going. This can be metaphorically speaking about job loss, a failed marriage, letting someone down, etc… Get back up!

I’ve seen you do it. I won’t name names… but I will say it’s inspiring! It helps me to be a better person.

Bonus from the Bible Study: God involves us and our prayers in his process of redemption.
I thought this was really cool. The relationship between us and God, is just that. A relationship. It’s a two way street. Never be ashamed to ask God for help, you will be surprised.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Read 2 Corinthians 12:8-10: “Concerning this, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it would leave me. But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.’ Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and in difficulties, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

This is so opposite of our culture and really the opposite of what men think. It is difficult to admit our weaknesses and even boast in them, but this is what Paul says and we see throughout Scripture that we are to be dependent on God and rely on Him and not ourselves. We see throughout the Psalms that David cries out to the Lord to help Him. He knows that He is weak and often in danger, so he constantly cries out to God for help. And this is how we should look to God. It is like a child doing something and he is struggling and his father is right there waiting for the child to ask for help. The child (us) is stubborn, but the father (God) is right there waiting for us to ask Him for help and it is His desire and pleasure to help us and give us strength because He gets the glory in that, not us.
