“My God, my
Rock, in whom I take refuge, my Shield,
The Horn of my
Salvation, my Stronghold,
My Refuge and my
Savior”
(2 Samuel 22:32)
Peace
It is the time of year when ministry
teams in Christian churches make a lot of phone calls and home visits. In
August many pastors connect with everyone in the church directory and invite
them to the fall programs. With the help of a ministry team there will be home
meetings, visits in coffee shops around the city and often just messages on
answering machines saying that we care. Now is time of invitation, a time to
lead people back to the Rock: the Rock of stability and peace.
For families, school is about to
start, the fall activities are about to begin, the summer slowdown and
vacations are over. We empty nesters are looking at the leaves starting to turn
and thinking about the winter season, warm weather travels and the holidays. Here
in Minnesota, humanity is kicking into high gear- back to being too busy. In
many cases it means not being at peace.
In the next few months many of us
will find ourselves in busy and challenging situations, we need to be reminded
not to leave the Rock, our Lord, behind as we move forward into these exciting times.
We need to keep Him in our lives to maintain our tranquility and keep us on an
even keel. It is a time to accept the invitations from our ministry teams and
keep the Lord in our everyday lives.
Thought for Today: Let’s take our look at our
calendars and schedule a few minutes with our Lord; a few minutes for
meditation; a few minutes to give thanks and a few minutes for ourselves. Let’s
do this so that we will be at Peace and be better able to help others.
Prayer for Today: Dear Lord, today
let us be cool and relaxed, patient and observing, caring and loving as we deal
with others. Let us shine your light so others will recognize we are at peace.
Amen
