Do you have a relationship with Jesus? Do you do all the busyness of your day…but leave Jesus in the locker room of your daily walk? DADs...it’s now half time and it’s time to suit up and get back on the pitch. The past two weeks we have talked about how hope…real hope in Christ begins with our humility…and with humility…intentional obedience follows. One of the greatest ways to demonstrate our intentional obedience... as God cries out for each of us every day, is to literally get on our hands & knees to pray regularly with our Lord and Savior. Paul wrote in his letter to thePhilippians 1:9-10: "And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ." In Colossians 4:2this passage says: - "Devote yourself to prayer, being watchful and thankful." Do you have a consistent prayer time daily? When do you find yourself in prayer? Is prayer important to you? DADs…to gain hope through Christ…there must be a daily conversation with God through prayer! As a great friend of mine and a brother in Christ once told me “Men…the time is now…to get on our knees and pray.” H.O.P.E.goes like this…Humility leads to Obedience…Obedience leads to “ceaseless” prayer. AND...then through our prayers we will see the need to seek those things "Eternal versus External" which will be our topic NEXT week, as we enter the 4th quarter. DADs…do not stand on the sidelines of life…get off the bench…“get in the game”… Today is game day…and so is every day…God gives you! So…C’mon men…Suit Up! To follow the “Suit Up” Movement…
