COT

Psalm 11 reminds us the Lord takes care of the righteous, not self-righteous, righteous or the ones who seek Him for strength. Blindside challenged the Pax to continue trusting the Lord. Don’t flee and fall into the shadows. Continue posting with F3 and continue leading in your community. The ultimate challenge comes in differentiating between caution and fear. Use Caution BUT REJECT Fear.
Today’s workout title was developed together. The workout was definitely a “You Against You” type workout. It was just a workout though. When the workout is over, we face the “real” world, we face the angst, we face fear, we face hardships, and we face rejection. Take care to reject the “You Against You” mentality and lean upon the Lord’s Strength.

Both MoneyBall and Blindside were gracious enough to allow me a Q at Lions Den. With school starting back, I am no longer able to post at 0530 start AOs and even miss COTs at our 0515 AOs. However, thanks to these two HIM I was able to both Q and post at an AO very special to me. Thanks to MoneyBall and Blindside for their help. Thanks to the Pax who came out this morning and supported Blindside and me!!

Ohms put a lid on his truck…he needed a place to escape the M.
This is a lot of legs.

      Circle 1 – God’s Game Plan

      • Today we worked out at 3 different stations. The first station was
        the circle in Coolidge Park.
      • Obviously, there was a designer who designed the field, lights
        around the field, the sidewalk, the stage, etc… A designer designed
        that first circle.
      • God the Creator has a perfect designed game plan for you, your
        marriage, your career, & your future.

      Circle 2 – Brokenness

      • From the park area, we ran over to the river, paired up, picked out
        a coupon and circled up.
      • After pairing up, half of us stayed in the circle and did curls,
        squats, shoulder presses, and bent over rows. The other half of us
        ran 10 light poles and did merkins.
      • Half of us broke off from the circle and went to run the light poles.
        That leads us to the second circle. God has a game plan, but ALL of
        us think we know what’s best for us so we break off from the
        circle and go “run the light poles.”
      • The bad news is that when we walk away from God’s design for
        our own, that only leads to a state of brokenness. Brokenness
        leads to more and more brokenness such as: broken families,
        hearts, relationships, careers, situations, etc…
      • The good news is that God never wants to leave us in our
        brokenness. When something is broken, we will either fix it or
        throw it away! Though we are broken, God decides NOT to throw
        us away NOR patch us back together with guerrilla glue or duct
        tape. Rather, God makes us new in Jesus Christ!

      Circle 3 – The Gospel

      • The third circle we moseyed to was the concrete circle in the
        woods with a cut out entrance. This circle represents the fact
        that God decided to join us in our brokenness.
      • God sent His Son Jesus right down into the middle of our
        brokenness to be broken for us. Jesus never departed from
        God’s perfect design. Jesus, having never sinned, decided to die
        in our place on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins.
      • The broken people Jesus came to love dragged Him out of the
        city and nailed Him to the cross. He breathed His last on the
        cross and died. They buried Him. On the 3 rd day, Jesus rose from
        the dead. He is alive! He is alive right now!
      • Jesus is to help you RECOVER from your state of brokenness.
        We are all sinners and always will be, but the penalty of that sin
        is forgiven in Christ.
