Iron Sharpens Iron

Gents,

Happy Thanksgiving to those who know what that holiday is all about. For the rest off us... enjoy time off work and good food!

Excerpt: “To move beyond adolescent enthusiasm and into a deep experience with God an undivided heart is absolutely necessary. This means answering some direct questions with unblinking honesty:

* Who am I?

* What is going to be at the center of my life?

* Where is my loyalty going to lie?

God is looking for the man who knows who he is and will not be afraid to identify with Him. The Lion of the tribe of Judah, as He is called in the Old Testament, seeks lionhearted sons.” Every Man, God’s Man pg. 23

Reflect: There is nothing more disarming and disappointing than a divided heart. Ever had a team mate that never really wanted to be there, ever been somewhere wishing you were somewhere else, ever tried to get something done yet keep getting interrupted.

All the way back in the garden the enemy knew if he could get Adam and Eve to doubt who they really were, who they should be living for and who they should be committed to, then he could divide their hearts and the battle would be won. It worked and continues to work till this day. There are seasons when I am sold out passionately pursuing the things of God and other times where my heart and mind is set on chasing the temporary things of this world that fade and rust as quick as they came. I want to re-align myself with God so He finds me when he searches the earth... “The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.” 2 Chronicles 16:9

Challenge: Guys answer those 3 questions... be real and honest, this is not one of those times to lie to yourself to feel better. You whole life is built on these foundations, it would be important for you to know the truth. Share your answers with close buddy and see if they see something you’re missing.

Prayer: Father help us be real and help us hear you with regards to those 3 questions. Start turning our hearts back to you so we can become undivided and available for your adventures. Amen.

Rob
