Men... Stand Up and Show Up | Superman

 

Superman: Being everything to everyone while in quest of self duties.

We all remember Superman as being the greatest super hero of all times as we grew up, for the most of us, we related our father’s being that superman, and others saw our uncle, mama’s boyfriend, brothers and the guy up the street (Pookie, or Ray Ray). We have so many different examples of our favorite superhero. Think about it, what made them a superhero, was it the fact, we saw them do everything for everyone else and still maintain their own lives? From the outside, that Man had it all together, on the church board, big house, great looking car, happy family, money, and all these things that made a superman. 

They even help out in the community, fixing the bikes, cleaning the streets, coaching the football team, every time you saw them, there were always doing something positive. Did that classified them as a superman?  To most of them assumed that, the answer is yes, to others the answer is no.  Why the halves?  

The No’s is due to that man could be very strong from the outside and yet feel weak of his own weakness, lacking the ability of seeing himself as worthy so he hide his fears by helping others while seeking value of himself. A lot of men feel this way.

The Yes; Man had to deal with himself worthwhile coming over his past adversity in his life while waiting on God to bless him to be that man everyone sees of being. Once a Man gets his life in position with God, God will bless him to be a superman, in His word:  He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increase strength (Isaiah 40:29)  

Quote by of Superman "I can only tell you what I believe”. 

Strong,

When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace (Luke 11:21)

Man,

Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man”. (John 19:5)

  

Family,

And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their strips. And immediately he and all his family were baptized (Acts 16:33)

 Fears,

Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?”

Confidence,

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. (Philippians  3:3)
