First things first, a huge “thank you” is in order to the entire congregation. We had a wonderful gospel meeting. Thank you for your attendance, your efforts in inviting people, but also thank you for your prayers. We are so grateful to Keith for coming and watering the seeds that we have been planting. One of our themes this year as a congregation is evangelism. Sometimes you might want to quit, but when you stick it out, good things will happen!!
“Be where your feet are,” is a phrase that I have used from the pulpit a few times recently. We live in a world that likes to look too far ahead and too far in the past. And if we don’t remember to “be where your feet are” then we will undoubtedly miss something or a series of things that are very valuable. We have had and will have several of our church family traveling now that school is out. We plan and go on these trips, but guess what? We always come back to “where our feet are.”
In Ephesians 5:16, Paul reminds the church at Ephesus to “See then that you walk circumspectly (carefully), not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Paul is not saying that you can’t plan out your days, weeks, months, or years, instead he’s saying to “be where your feet are,” cherish every single moment. Friends, once time is gone, it’s gone. Only God knows what the future holds. We make our plans, and God sits back and laughs. As we enter the Summer months, where we have so much going on, and so much more that we want to shove into our calendars, let’s remember this truth!!
In Him,
Carver
