Getting It Done!


Larry the Cable Guy has a statement that people all over continue to say, "Get 'er done." I have even heard Christians say this in jest. The problem with ministry is that you often feel like you'll never get it all done. Worse yet, to get things done it often seems to take a lifetime. People talk and share ideas for months or even years before a project or ministry ideas gets off the ground and under way. We need more time in prayer and listening to God when we plan together, so that when we come together we can have a clearer plan to getting things done.

Thank Goodness Christ only took three years, and three days in the grave to get the most important thing in the world done for us.

Let's work less in our power and more in Christ's guidance and strength.

Keep following the Leading of God


Traveling this weekend through snow I was reminded of God's hand and protection upon us. My mom told me the story of a lady and man traveling. When they finished a long trip and pulled off the expressway a the man said, "Thanks Lord for the protection, I can handle it from here." The car immediately went into a spin, and reminded the man that God needed to stay in control.

How often we want to take life in our own hands instead of staying in the will and guidance of our Lord. We need to stop and remind ourselves early in this new year that God needs to direct our paths, since He knows what is truly best for us.
