This morning I jumped on my trusty Specialized rock hopper and jetted over the the K-Institute to hang out with the guys for a little while. Precepts bible study is part of our curriculum and it's always a blast to hear guys share about what they have learned. When I arrived, notebooks were out, bibles were open, and the KI men were ready to learn. I pray I will never lose that hunger.
We looked at Genesis 16-18. I have been there so many times this past few weeks, the page is torn. I guess that's good. The key to this weeks lesson was, "Is anything too difficult for the Lord?" I am sure Abraham and Sarah found a deepened faith as God blessed them with a son as they both pushed the century mark in age, well past child bearing years. A son at 100 years old? God had promised and He always makes good on His word. When I read it, I don't know if I can grasp the full weight of His words.
It reminded me of two things: priority and discipline. I am trying to pass those two qualities onto my own sons now (not to mention nailing them down in my own life). Priority to me means seeking first His Kingdom and Righteousness. I can trust God and know that He can do anything. Nothing is too difficult for him. Discipline to me requires my focus on Godliness not just my own body workouts. I need to get after it every day.
Bring on the workouts.
Hope you have a great weekend...
