Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He
shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
For a long time now I have been hoping to devote more time to writing messages on youth violence and other issues which affect young people...
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He
shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
For a long time now I have been hoping to devote more time to writing messages on youth violence and other issues which affect young people...
Unfortunately, though, I've been so busy with "church" matters that I have neglected these writing projects as well as my journal and correspondence, too.
Therefore, at this time, I need to try to get on track and do what I know in my heart God has called me to do. On many occasions, I confess, I've wrapped myself up with busyness. And it all seemed fine because it was "Christian" stuff, and genuine issues do crop up among the church's members who appear to need my help as well as the help and intervention of the congregation's elders. Yet I must also draw the line at some point. And this is what I want and need to do.
Furthermore, I also believe that God has set before me an open door for ministry which no man can shut. Thus in spite of my trials, setbacks, disappointments and busy activities, I have not denied the Lord's name. I've not turned my back on Him. And I hope to continue to trust in the Lord and always seek His guidance. I likewise need to always pray and then wait upon Him.
The Lord Jesus hasn't failed me yet. But I do need to get my life in order, rest, and set certain things aside to lighten my load. Amen!
