Good morning, and greetings to each of you fellow adventures in the Word. It's been a while since I have posted, but that dosen't mean I have not been reading! How about you, are you enjoying "Walking in the Word" as we adventure daily through the Living Word of our King!!
God has been speaking to my heart, and I hope He is to yours as well. I would sure love to see more of you posting comments under my posts, insights to scripture, simple comments, questions for us to consider? Jump in and encourage us, Ella has made some very encouraging comments - thanks Ella!!
Let me share a few things that caught my attention in todays reading....
Exodus 17:11-12 seems to me to be a real picture of "Team Work". Team work in the body of Christ is essential, we are all called to lend a hand, get involved, be dependable and consistent. I noticed this same theme in Exodus 18:22, in this passage Jethro is giving some sage advice to son-in-law Moses about finding some help to lighten his load. In essence Jethro tells Moses, "...Son a little Team Work would really help you, pick some dependable, consistent, God fearing helpers..." my quote. The scripture actually says "...That will make your load lighter, because they will share it with you." Exd. 18:22b - good advise!!
This statement took my mind and heart from the Old Testament to what Jesus said in the New Testament - a promise to each of us of His Help in our lives, realize the greatest team mate we have is Jesus!!! Listen to what He tells us.......
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for you souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30 Niv.
Praise the Lord..... be encouraged, we have an awesome "Team Mate" in Jesus, and a great example of what it means to be a Team Player....
Blessings,
Pastor Paul
