This really makes you think about your fraile human being. We really are powerless and puny before God. What can we do in the face of his power? I think the answer to this question lies in what will we do for God's glory on earth. If we are working for God and only for God won't we have the power to change our world? Isn't this what the bible tells us?
As has been Matthew's theme for a while working together we are stronger than working alone. We just have to figure out what we are working towards.
I know that in 10 days 13 of us will be working towards helping to feed starving or hungry children and adults all over the world. During our famine we will also be packaging meals that will benefit our local food pantries. Working together we can do so much more than working alone.
I had another hour-long conversation with my mom last night. In their anger and greed, her step-daughters are attempting to take everything, leaving her with nothing (including the home she has lived in for 15 years). They do not know God and his ways.
ReplyDeleteBut my mom does. She is in awe of her Creator. She knows that God and his people will care for her until she has the strength to do the same in return.
Oh how I desire a united community, working together to make an impact on Quincy and the world. May God get all the glory for the good works we do.
I know it's Lent, but the phrase, "O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord" comes to mind.
God is all powerful and all knowing. Nothing we do as humans can mirror His glory. The joy I hear in my daughter's laugh and the smile it brings to my face is just one of the many gifts
ReplyDeleteGod has given to me. My Creator has blessed me with an abundant life. I strive to give thanks by being of service were possible to show my gratitude.
