Building Character
Read Genesis 2:2 – By the seventh day God had
finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all
his work.
Know When to Work and When to Relax (Part 2)
Go to work and give it all you’ve got while you are there! You can’t truly find pleasure by living on the golf course or at the beach. God made us to work to find happiness. Pleasure is fine in moderation but it is not the goal of life.
At the same time, you must know when
to go to work and when to go home. Be able to work and rest at the right times
in your life! The Lord gave us the example in Genesis 2. When the project
was completed, He rested! When the week was completed, He rested. Before the
next project was started, He rested!

his work.
Know When to Work and When to Relax (Part 1)
We live in a very complex culture. But don’t worry, it is getting more so
each day. We have so many tools with which to communicate, yet with all of
these gadgets we feel more stressed and frustrated. Let me help you today! Take
some time off! Turn off the smart phone! Shut down the e-book reader! Leave the
laptop at the house and disconnect from it all! All of the technology you have
that can make you more productive can also push you over the edge. Yes, it is
ok to work hard and love your work! God made you that way. But the ax gets dull
after so many days of constant swinging. You have to start swinging harder to
get the same results. If you don’t stop and sharpen the ax either you or
the ax is going to break!

Building Character
Read Proverbs 12:1 – Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he
who hates correction is stupid.
Develop Self-Discipline
Men admire those who are disciplined. That is why we love sports so much. You
don’t get to the top of your game sitting on the couch. Discipline is a
necessity in every phase of life and business. If you cheat you will learn
defeat!
None of us can be the best in everything we do, but all of us can be better at
what we do. The wise man is the one who can discipline himself to be better at
life and knows enough to accept his limitations. Oh yes, you have limitations!
All of us have them, unfortunately. What is shameful is to excuse yourself from
working hard, exercising, studying, or trying to be better because of those
flaws. The question is do you have the courage to discipline yourself to become
the person you could be? If so, then give life your best shot! Then relax
and let your life affect the world the way God meant for it to.

Read 1 Chronicles 12: 31-32 – Of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were designated by name to come and make David king; of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command. (NKJV)
Fight Like a Man
The men of Issachar were men who understood the times and knew what to do. True warriors understand who the real enemy is and how to fight that enemy. As men who are fighting on behalf of our youth and children, we need to understand who the real enemy is and how to fight him. We need to keep up with what is happening in the lives of our kids. We need to understand the temptations they face. When we know what is happening to our kids we can be more specific in our prayers for them. Fight like a man by understanding the times.

Building
Character
Read Joshua 24:14-16 – Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." Then the people answered, "Far be it from us to forsake the LORD to serve other gods!
Recognize Your Choices and Live Wisely (Part 2)
The
biggest question is what will you choose? Many consider not making a choice or
a commitment to be the safe way to live. Not choosing is in itself a choice
with the gravest dangers. The people that I know who are the happiest are the
ones who have clearly weighed in on the side of Christ. Those who have not
clearly chosen Him stand in two categories; those who deny Him and those who
are in denial!
Where are you today in your walk of life? Do you know who you are serving? Why
not take a few minutes today and choose something that really makes a
difference?

Recognize Your Choices and Live Wisely
(Part 1)
Each of us was born into this world
neither choosing to be born, nor choosing our parents. But since the time our
brains began to reason in our adolescent years we have had choices to make. You
and I can choose our life and its direction. Yes, there are a lot of things
that come down our path over which we have no control. But nothing that comes
into our lives can shape us if we don’t choose for it to do so. You can
choose to allow other people’s rude behavior to either make you bitter or
better. You can choose not to take the sexual advances offered to you. You can
choose to serve the Lord and leave the world’s buffet table behind.

Building Character
Read
Philippians 4:11 – I
am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content
whatever the circumstances.
Identify Your Strengths, But Know Your Weaknesses (Part 3)
In what are you weak? It is those things that you fear the most! But you should
not feed your fear; rather fight it with effort and faith in God! Your weakness
could be something that you are drawn to that you should be avoiding. Find ways
to guard yourself by not getting close to the edge. Stay in the middle of the
road away from the cliff of temptation. Being a man of character is not to deny
those fears or temptations. It is to face the truth about yourself and to build
the safeguards in your life to protect you.

whatever the circumstances.
Identify Your Strengths, But Know Your Weaknesses (Part 2)
In
what are you strong? It
is in those things that come easy to you! The things that cause you to wonder
why everyone else has difficulty doing those things. God gave you gifts and it
is okay that you have them. Those same strengths are the things that God can
use to build character in your life. It could also be the thing that the enemy
uses to destroy your character. A man of character will not allow his strengths
to blind him to his limits.

Read 1 Chronicles 12:28-31 – Zadok, a young man, a valiant warrior, and from his father's house twenty-two captains; of the sons of Benjamin, relatives of Saul, three thousand (until then the greatest part of them had remained loyal to the house of Saul); of the sons of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men throughout their father's house; of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were designated by name to come and make David king. (NKJV)
Fight Like A Man
These valiant, mighty warriors were men on a mission. Their goal was to make David king. They were ready to fight in order to accomplish that goal. They understood that David had already been chosen and anointed by God to be the king of Israel. Men today need the same drive and passion to see God work not only in their lives but in the lives of those around them. Be a man on a mission. The goal is to influence others, especially those younger than we are, to live for God. Fight in prayer so that your mission can be accomplished.

Read Philippians 4:11 – I
am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content
whatever the circumstances.
Identify Your Strengths, But Know Your Weaknesses (Part 1)
A man who is building character must come to terms with both his strengths and
his weaknesses. Too often the strength of a man is usually the weakness of the
man. How many men have fallen because their strength blinded them to the
pitfalls around them? Paul said, “I have learned to be content in
whatsoever state I am in.” This wasn’t to deny or ignore
difficulties in his life. It was the calm acceptance of knowing who he was and
who Christ was in Him!

Building Character
Read Matthew 5:37 â Simply
let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from
the evil one.
Be Honest and True to Your Word
The only thing that you have that is of real value is your name. Your name is
what people know about you and believe about you. Your name is what will last
when you are gone. If you are going to build character, you need to be true to
your word. If you make a verbal commitment, follow through with that word.
Sometimes that may mean you take a loss financially. At other times it may mean
you attend a function that you really wish you didnât have to attend. Each
commitment kept is like a deposit in the bank. The more you invest, the larger
your account will grow. When one begins to slip on his word it gets easier and
easier to let it happen. You are the guardian of your word. If you want to
build the character of a man of God, then keep your word and build your name by
doing it!

Read Ezekiel 13:7 – Have
you not seen false visions and uttered lying divinations when you say,
"The LORD declares," though I have not spoken?
Know Why You Do What You Do (Part 2)
Why do you go to church? Why do you
pray? Why do you pray for healing? Why do you keep your word? Building character
has to have clear understanding about the things you believe and practice. The
world admires men who have convictions! But to have blind convictions is
nothing admirable! Ask yourself the hard questions about what you believe and
why you believe the things you profess. What has the Lord really said about
that which you think and embrace? If you want to be a man that others can trust
for strength and stability, then know why you do what you do!

Know Why You Do What You Do (Part 1)
When
was the last time you really answered the hard questions your children asked
you? Children deserve good answers from dads who know them. Sometimes through
the years we come to accept the way things are and should be without any valid
reason for the action. We have all had mores and moral traditions that seem to
guide our steps. Only we find out later in life, that they were good for their
day but were not biblical standards. Sadly, some have cast off some moral
standards that are Biblical. Our nation is paying a price for that today.
