Mantle Monday - 05 25 26

Happy Monday, gentlemen! Today we remember all the men and women who gave their life to protect our freedoms. May we never take that for granted. It got me thinking about how we are all called to a mission. A mission to go out and make disciples. To share the Love of Jesus with all those around us. Our specific missions might look different, but one thing is certain - the Lord promises to guide us along the right paths. Those paths just often look different than we expected. “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.” Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Some of us may have experienced what it’s like to step into the uncomfortable and fully trust the Lord. Others of us have been reluctant to fully trust the Lord, because we are scared of the outcomes. My guess is that we’ve all at times submitted to our will and not God’s. We’ve tried to build our Kingdom and not advance His. But the truth is, His plans will always be better than anything we can humanly imagine, so trust in him. It’s time we as Men stand boldly for Jesus, proclaim His name, and fully surrender to Him as our Lord and Savior! Have a safe Memorial Day! Men, I’m proud of you. Keep showing up and striving to follow after the Lord boldly! Challenge: Have an intentional conversation with someone today about how God has moved in your life.
