Eccl 4:9-10

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“The Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the valiant warriors. You shall march around the city, all the men of war circling the city once. You shall do so for six days. Also seven priests shall carry seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark; then on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people will go up every man straight ahead.”

Joshua 6:2‭-‬5 NASB1995

There are many commands of God that have a functional purpose. For example, it makes sense that the Israelites abided by all the rules concerning leprosy so that it wouldn’t spread to others. There are other commands, like those given to Joshua concerning the conquest of Jericho, that don’t really make logical sense. God told him that He has given the city to them, but God still required something to receive the gift. He required them to march, shout, and blow rams horns. Why? I don’t know nor does anyone. All we can say is that it was a command of God to receive the otherwise free gift that was being given to them. Would they have received the city if they only marched 6 times around the city on the 7th day? Certainly not because they didn’t do all that God commanded. I encourage you to keep these thoughts in mind when studying instructions from God in His word. It may be that we sometimes question God’s commands if they are really necessary. The fact is that if we love Him we will keep His commands. John 14:15

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Butterknife delivered the word today after leading RUSH:

Message:
The warrior ethos (AKA Jedi Training) consist of 13 pillars: commitment, honor, respect, prepared, faithful, fighter, hungry, humble, lover, teachable, firestarter, truthful, and generous.
Each one is tied to a Bible verse. Today I’m discussing the 13th pillar which is the final pillar:
Generous

The verse for this pillar is Proverbs 11:25“The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬You can’t out give God! I encourage you to be more generous… This is not just with money, but with time as well. We were put here to serve. Give blood, volunteer for something you’re passionate about, help someone without expecting or wanting anything in return. These acts not only help others, but they are so rewarding. You feel good!!Jesus shows us how it’s done
In 2 Corinthians‬ ‭8‬:‭9‬ it says

“You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭8‬:‭9

‬Keep giving and you will never be without!!

Exercise Order

  1. Merkin x 10 = 10 [Reece’s Eggs]

  4. Burpees = 4 [Cadbury Mini Eggs]
  5. Lap around the building [Chocolate Bunny]
  6. BBS x 5 = 30 [Peeps]
  7. Squats x 5 = 35 [Cadbury Eggs]

You start at 1. Once completed each level you start over and complete the next level. (1,2) Next start over and do 3 levels (1,2,3). After completing level 8, start over and complete 1-7 dropping a level each time till you’re completed a single level 1.

Most made it through level 8 and several made it several levels further.

Little Known Facts About Laziness #6

Let’s review the facts…

Fact #6 – The lazy way is the hardest way

Prov 15:19 – The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns: Those who are lazy may not see it in themselves.

We often choose the lazy way because it seems easier. But it’s not! It’s like a hedge of thorns. I was recently reading about the Barkley Marathon. It’s a super hard marathon and it’s hard for many reasons. But one of those reasons is it takes place through the smoky mountains which are full of briars. You’re fighting through thick brambles and thorns that are tearing at you. It’s incredibly tough and miserable. This is what the lazy way is like.

Prov 18:9 – He who is slothful in his work Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.

This is not a gentle rebuke. This is a serious issue. Being a little slack is the same as walking in with a sledge hammer and taking everything down.

Prov 12:24 – The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; But the slothful shall be put under taskwork.

Prov 10:4 – He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich

It’s amazing how many verses deal with laziness. It doesn’t seem to be a really big issue in the world but apparently Proverbs thinks overwise. Consider yourself and where you are lazy.
