I heard a sermon recently that has caused me to think about where I am in GOD'S service. The gist of the sermon was that we get wrapped up in every new program, and every new outreach tool, and every new ministerial thing that comes along but, maybe, instead of looking for the next GOOD thing, we need to listen and do the GOD thing.
There's nothing wrong with any program or outreach emphasis or ministry but if we are constantly busying ourselves with those things and not actively listening for GOD to lead us to His thing, we are truly missing the point. GOD can do exceedingly, abundantly above anything we could ever do within our own power. Why not listen for His direction?
Today's word is Philemon 1:6, NIV, which reads, "I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in CHRIST."
This, though it may not seem like it, is what I am trying to convey. If we will each just actively share what GOD has done for us, and ALL that that entails, we may be surprised at the impact that will have. And, the more we actively share what GOD has done for us, the more we will see what GOD has done for us, and the more we will have to share!
Look, hook up with a Bible believing, Bible teaching, Bible preaching church and worship together. Get involved and be an active part of the church. However, if GOD is leading you to share your faith, don't get hung up on the next GOOD thing, get plugged in to GOD'S thing.
Be Blessed,
