Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul.
Psalm 143:8, NASB1995
We seek God because of His great love and grace, but we must also seek all His truth, not just what we like. Following His truth is how we show we love Him.
But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing
Matthew 6:3, NASB1995
When we seek God truly, we want to give to others to help them, bot merely to do good things, because we know Chrost was good to us first. May we seek the heart of God above and in all.
Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
John 14:6, NASB1995
We seek God if we are open to the full truth, and Jesus says He is the only Way, Truth, and Life that can be found and save us. If we seek truth, we will want to share Jesus with the world.
We are looking for deacons all the time. I work with our deacons specifically to help make their work cohesive (not micromanage. I am way too engaged in several areas to do that!) More help is always needed and wanted. Having godly men and their wives is always great, and helping them grow is even better.
I joked around with one of our deacons about how he could grow as a teacher, and he said, “That’s definitely not my calling!” Today, he has taken on a teaching role at work and is about to help launch our new Young Adults ministry as our main teacher! And he’s the one who stepped up!
Pray for specific servants for the church. God raises them up in amazing ways.
Daniel
For this Sunday here’s what you can do: This Sunday at Church: Pray for new deacons for your church.
”Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9, NASB1995
God made us for fellowship, and Christ came to us and later sent His Holy Spirit to draw us toward Himself and each other. May we go out to draw others in, knowing He is with us as we go.
“Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.”
Revelation 4:11, NASB1995
God created us for Himself, and Christ redeemed us from our rejection of Him and His ways through the cross. Let us draw others to worship our worthy Creator and Savior.
Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
