God’s Plan
Do
you ever think about what God’s plan is for you? There are times when we miss God’s plan for
us. Sometimes it is because of our own
pursuit of other things and other times I believe Satan’s hand is involved in
our missing an instance where God wants to bless us.
Every
year our church has its members complete a short survey to update their
records. I completed my survey several
months ago and never thought anything else about it. I received an email yesterday from the
Children’s Ministry Associate. He stated
that he read my survey and thought I might be interested in opportunities they
have in the Children’s Ministry. I will insert here that this email went into
my spam folder so I almost missed it.
The
email sort of threw me into a panic.
What do I know about kids? 1. I
was one once. 2. I have nephews and a
niece who are fully grown. 3. I have two
grandchildren and a stepdaughter. That
about covers what I know about kids. Then I asked myself why I felt so intimidated
by a bunch of mini-mees. Maybe it is
because I have been away from that age group for a long time. The main reason I think is the fear of the
unknown. But wait, doesn’t it say in 1
John 4:18-19 (“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear,
because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in
love. We love Him because
He first loved us.”)
I
think my problem is I am fearful more than I am faithful. God has a plan for me and the solution to
following His plan is to get rid of the fear and step out in faith.
Prayer for the Day: Heavenly Father, help me
to get rid of the fear of failure, the fear of not measuring up and the fear of
what could happen. My purpose on earth
is to serve and this is an opportunity to do that in a way that will glorify
You. I praise You for sending this opportunity
and may You be glorified in it with my service.
