| As I write this, the world seems to be in chaos. Hurricane Dolly is bearing down on the Texas/Mexican border. Early morning storms, this past Monday, wreaked havoc in this county. Monday night, strorms continued to put a monkey wrench in activities such as yard work, the County Fair, and ball games. On the world news, we hear of politicians gathering to discuss the possibility of a shift in nuclear power, the threat of war, and the continuing struggle of feeding a hungry world where illness and poverty destroy too many young lives and families. And now there is a problem with my checkbook! |
| Sometimes it is hard to focus on what God wants us to do. There is so much need within our small, private world, that is is often difficult to focus on the needs in the larger world. As Christians, the question is always, "What does God want me to do? |
| What does God desire from the church? How are we to live our daily lives and be faithful to what God needs from each of us?" |
| I wish the answers were short and simple, but they aren't. Sometimes it feels like God desires more from us as individuals or the church than we feel we have to give. Sometimes we can't see what it is we are to do or how it will happen. It's then we need to stop wringing our hands and get on our knees. God has the strength we need when we feel weak. God has the answers before we even know the questions. If God take us to it, God will see us through it. These aren't just simple sayings. God's Word tells us:I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. Phil 4:13 I found another 3, 710 verses with the word: Strength. Search God's Word, and you will find the strength. Pray hard, live for Christ, and we will changed! |
