Ministry

This week we are going to pray for the ministries in which we are involved. First, we are praying that these ministries are blessing those they are directed towards. Whether it's a women's ministry, a prayer ministry, children's church, hospitality, etc. Second, we are praying that God does a work in us as we work in these ministries. After all, getting things done is just a by-product of why God puts us in ministries. Serving Him is how our hearts get softened and molded to His likeness.

Last, I want to make sure we are all aware of all the ministries we are involved in. We are all part of a family - this is one of our ministries. Many of us are married - our spouse is a ministry. As Christians, Christ gave us the great commission. Therefore, spreading the good news is one of our ministries. There are probably others I'm not thinking of. The first point of this is, you are involved in more ministries than what probably initially came to mind. The second point is, make sure you've got enough time for your current ministries before you add any new ministries. And last, your ministries need to be prioritized so that you are tending to the proper ministry when conflicts arise. Needless to say, family and spouse need to be top priority.

Have a great week and a great fast.
Your brother,
Bob
