Today we hold a funeral.. šŸ˜”
For the lie that ā€œsomeone else will take care of it.ā€
Rest in Peace, ā€œSomeone Elseā€
A Bagged & Tagged Reflection
There is a quiet phrase that weakens men without them realizing it:
ā€œSomeone else will take care of it.ā€
ā€œThat’s not my job.ā€
ā€œMy wife will handle that.ā€
ā€œI’ll address that when the kids are older.ā€
ā€œI’ll get serious about God later.ā€
It doesn’t feel like rebellion.
It feels like delay.
But delay slowly becomes neglect, and neglect quietly erodes the man God called us to be.
So today we hold a funeral.
Not for a person.
For a mindset.
Rest in peace, ā€œsomeone else.ā€
Obedience is Proactive
Many people think obedience to God simply means avoiding sin.
But biblical obedience is active.
It means stepping forward when something needs to be done.
Even when it’s inconvenient.
Even when you don’t feel like it.
Even when no one is watching.
That is discipline.
Discipline is doing what is required, not what is comfortable.
Scripture
Galatians 6:5
ā€œFor each will have to bear his own load.ā€
God gives every man responsibilities that no one else can carry.
Your faith.
Your character.
Your leadership.
And Scripture shows us the posture of a man who accepts that responsibility:
Joshua 24:15
ā€œAs for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.ā€
Joshua didn’t wait for someone else.
He stepped forward.
The Man Who Shows Up
A man of God doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.
He shows up.
He opens the Word when he’s tired.
He disciplines his body when motivation fades.
He leads his family even when he feels inadequate.
Not because he wants to.
Because it’s required.
Bagged & Tagged Truth
Being Tagged means you belong to Christ.
Being Bagged means you live above reproach.
But neither happens while waiting for someone else.
They happen when a man decides:
ā€œIf God placed it in my life, I will carry it.ā€
****Reflection****
Where have you been waiting for ā€œsomeone elseā€?
And what responsibility will you step into today?
Rest in peace, ā€œsomeone else.ā€
The man God called you to be… steps forward.
