Hey everyone:)
Did my first service as worship leader in my new church this morning! Praise God it went well! Two people gave their lives to Christ-Hallelujah! Pastor Jim talked about greatness today. We are in the book of Nehemiah and he is focusing on the greatness of Nehemiah's leadership in building the wall; that it is a "great work" for the LORD and how "great" the LORD is to give him the power to complete the wall. Lots of life lessons in that for me. I want to build a "great" worship team to praise our "great" God and fulfill his calling for me in a manner of "greatness". I want to complete my schooling with "greatness" and finish the race well! And I am counting on God to heal the relationship with my daughter in a "great" and healthy way! What are you doing in your life that you can work on to achieve greatness and trust the LORD to help you complete? Whether it is waitressing, working on a construction site, taking care of your children, or managing others in the marketplace, etc. God wants us to do our very best and trust in Him for the results. We serve an awesome and GREAT God! We must honor Him by doing everything we do in a manner of "greatness"!
Nehemiah 6: 3 is Nehemiah's response to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem and other enemies about not being sidetracked or drawn away from the task God called him to do. It reads: "So I replied by sending this message to them; "I am engaged in a great work, so I can't come. Why should I stop working to come and meet with you?" Nehemiah understood that his task from God was of "great" importance and nothing should take precedence over that!
Thank you, God for the lessons in the book of Nehemiah! Help us all to learn from this and live it out in our daily tasks and everything we do! AMEN!
