The story of Deborah is a wonderful story of someone who was committed to the
work that God had placed in her heart. Is God calling you to a rare work? Have you
ever considered doing some thing special for the Lord?
I will give you five chapters of your own story of how God has used you. Pray to
the Lord about this, listen to you heart and start writing.
Chapter One. Control Issues.
For Deborah--leadership was not about being "in charge"
Chapter two---My place in God's Space.
To find meaning and significance in life is one of our strongest impluses
Chapter three---God is on Patrol
We worry too much about outside stuff.
God doesn't care about any of that, He seeks the heart
Chapter Four---The Availability Factor
It's easy to get too busy with life and get disconnected from people and
their needs. When we become disconnected for any reason, we are walking away
from what God desires from us.
Chapter Five---Stop Talking and Start Walking
Deborah had total confidence in God, she did not wonder or worry, she
knew God was in charge, she could not loose.
To help you get going on your story is a prayer, repeat it every day, it will
help
"Generous God, in your providence you have given us abundant gifts and
abilities. You call us to be bold and generous in our love for you and for our
neighbor. But we have squandered your gifts, burying them, hiding them from
sight. We would rather be safe and comfortable, giving little, serving without
much sacrifice. Change our hearts, O God.
Transform us into disciples willing to embrace the gifts you have given us, to
serve you with gladness, and to love generously, in Jesus name. Amen
It is indeed a wonderful thing when the family of God shares with one another.
Write your own and share it here with your brothers and sisters in Christ.
We'll be waiting to hear from you.
blessings,
Pastor Paul
