I finished last post by encouraging us to think about His lovingkindness in our own life. He has shown it to me in many ways throughout my life. He allowed me to be saved at an early age as a part of a godly family. He called me into the ministry. He has given me a beautiful, awesome wife to share life with and three great children to love and care for. He has given me great friendships wherever I have been - growing up, at school in Atlanta, at seminary in Ft. Worth, my first ministry position in West Monroe, La., and now back in Macon. He has allowed me to see Him move in powerful ways at different points in my life, that some never get the opportunity to see. I could go on and on.
I read today that to whom much has been given, much is required. I have been given much, and it drives me to be faithful to Him. In I Timothy 6:20 Paul exhorted Timothy to "guard what has been entrusted to you." He has entrusted me with the Good News and entrusted me with the task of taking it to the world. His lovingkindness drives me onward. I hate when I fail Him. I only want to praise Him with my life and work.
God Bless You
