Inspired thots
How timely! How appropriate! Today's memoir is slightly different as it is really personal.
I am in the midst of preparing for a children's camp this weekend, and with some slight self 'discontention', the Lord spoke through these words. The children whom I would be ministering to, are precious to my Lord; and having been in SS for umpteen years, they should be too, to me.
You see, these are the OA children, and very often, they are disregarded by 'society'. And I would be ministering... not in English..., hmm... it may not even be BM, if the OA are illiterate? So, it was a 'discontenting' thought as I was 'informed' of the responsibility quite late. It's gonna be a challenge (I think!) But yes, Lord. I release myself and all discontentions to You, so that I may be a cleansed and noble instrument to Your glory. Praise God for His inspiring lesson plans and getting together all the resources for this weekend.
The 3 verses to summarise are:
- v5 'And whoever welcomes a little child like this (OA) in my name, welcomes me (Jesus)'
- v10 'See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven'. (oops, 'a gentle rebuke' from the Lord as reminder)
- v14 ' ...Your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost'
I shall claim Phil 4:13,19 together with the above 3 verses for this weekend to make it an impactful one.
This one is for YOU, Lord! Maranatha!
