Literally just posted this on my Instagram the other day—you should listen to “iron sharpens iron” by rebel redeemed. One of my new faves

Woke up thinking today may be about resilience - gotta shake off a long week, get in the gym, and get things done. I’ll offer this for today:
James 1:12:
"Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life..."

I have been seeing a lot of keys lately and hearing about open doors so this one comes to mind 
“ I know your works. Behold, I’ve sent before you and open door which no one is able to shut; I know that you have a little power and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.” Revelation 3:8

I did tie one on last night, but it was a celebratory evening. I got my wife a new (to her) car so she made me a very nice dinner!

I love that verse! Thanks for sharing Yeti! I ain't going to lie, you're not likely to find me in church on Sunday. There were several good, God fearing men on my team and they always told me that I was doing the Lord's work despite myself.. over the years they presented me with many gifts of their appreciation but this Spyderco folder with a Scripture verse engraved on it that they said reminded them of me and how I led them is one of my most treasured.
I will say that if the Lord can use me to cull a few of the devil's brigade I'll do it to the best of my ability. I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was!

Amen. “But we have this treasure in earthen containers, so that the extraordinary greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves.” 2 Corinthians 4:7

I felt like today was about standing in when my brain said run, teaching when my emotion said tear that idiots head off, continuing to fight to win when others were lifeless wimps that rolled over - so today was about, I guess, wisdom.
Made me thankful for God, and these gifts, and reference this passage:
Proverbs 16:16
"How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!"

I feel that—laughed out loud because I think I’ve said “tear that idiots head off” more than once (I’ll blame it on the Irish/Scandinavian/ Native American ancestry 
).
I feel like God has also been refining me in obedience and patience— something that was not one of my stronger traits.
“More than that we rejoice in our suffering, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces Hope, and hope does not disappoint…” Romans 5:3-5
When obedience and patience get uncomfortable, my tendency was to run. Now I’ve learned to sit in the uncomfortability. It’s amazing the work God can do.

I feel like days such as this are akin to going to school @Jillian C - learning patience is the lesson plan - I’m the C- student aspiring for better.
