CIRCLE OF TRUST

MOLESKIN

I posted this on the Slack 3rdF channel yesterday, but figured I’d re-share it here as well.

Whether it’s arms, abs, faith, addiction, forgiveness, or contempt; what you exercise gets stronger. Be careful where you put in your reps.

Men, there are lots of times when God gives us better than we deserve (I’m thinking of how well most of you did in the wife department, as an example), but there is a strong Biblical principle at play in almost every aspect of life.

You reap what you sow.

So… No examples or life applications, just that single platitude that I hope hasn’t been used so much that it’s lost its truth, a prayer that the Holy Spirit is working in us to reveal areas where we’re sowing bad seed, and that God’s undeserved grace would spare our wives and kids from being visited by the sins of their husbands and fathers, but even more, that we would give them a good inheritance of godliness instead.

Keep after it, men — physically, spiritually, and emotionally. As we say often, “If you’re not climbing, you’re sliding.” We are simultaneously ill-equipped and perfectly designed for the role that God has for us to play. It’s not easy, but we can do it, with His help, and with the help of one another. That reminds me:

“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” – Ecclesiastes 4:12

So… Leverage that encouragement and commit to letting go of addictions, habits, and patterns that are destined to reap regret, and grabbing ahold of habits, patterns, and relationships that will spur you on toward love and good deeds.

You know your brothers are here if you need us. You’ve been here for me. I’m here for you, literally, any time, any day.

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy. To the only God, our Savior, be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forever. Amen.” – June 1:24-25

I love you, men. God bless.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
