SABRINA
Recently in a staff meeting, our lead pastor, John Branning, prayed in his
prayer a simple sentence that has caused me to stop and reflect on several
occasions as I plan for this new school year. “Dear Lord, let us never be so
busy with the WORK of the church that we forget the LORD of it.”
I am often guilty as charged. What often starts out as an opportunity to serve
and help others to experience the love of God, becomes so bogged down in
the details and desire that things go off without error, that the original
outreach intent is lost. My human nature gets in the way of God. I often
remind CHILDREN that we are called to be the hands, feet, eyes, ears and
mouth of God, in the human form here on earth. It is a reminder for each of
us, whether in the workplace, home or church. If God is the focus of our
work here on earth, we don’t have to control the situations. Let God handle
that! We just have to be willing servants! Have a blessed day!
