Romans 12: 4 - 5
4 For just as each of us has one
body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
5 so in Christ we, though many,
form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
I have to
confess, that I’ve read this text of scripture many times, but without a whole
lot of thought, frankly.
That was
until yesterday morning, and then these words just jumped off the page.
I’m thankful
for a dear friend, who taught a bunch of church people how to be a real team.
I’m thankful
for the wisdom they poured out, so I knew which people God wanted on what team.
I love
coaching people in our church to be better followers of Jesus. Today I’m a
better coach than I used to be.
Our church
is filled with some of the most talented people around, and they bring great
glory to God.
That all
came to light in the best way yesterday morning, and it all started with a
phone call from a Godly woman.
She had
someone working for her, that was in a really dark place…so much so, they
wanted their life to end.
I got ready
to go out yesterday morning, and God’s plans were executed with wonderful
accuracy.
The first
thing I did, was enlist a team of prayer support from some of my closest
confidants, and then God did the rest.
In 60
minutes flat, this person went from petrified (suicide), to eternally
satisfied.
All because
a woman cared…and some people prayed…and a Pastor moved into action…and then
the great Gospel went out.
Because the
church worked in perfect harmony, the team can celebrate a great victory,
because this person gave their heart over to the Lord.
I’m praising
God for an operative church, and for a person who was just sick and tired, of being
sick and tired! Amen!!
And the
weekend isn’t even here yet…
