Dear God

God-Tracking Is Being Willing to Grab the Baton and Run
“But I
haven’t led worship in over two years,” I said to Karen. “I’m not sure if it’s
God’s will for me to pick up my old guitar again and offer to lead praise and
worship in this church, however great the need.” She had just mentioned to me
that the previous worship leader of the new local church we’d recently
committed ourselves to, had been moved away leaving the pastor and his wife
desperate for the future of the church. Karen knew that I was only scouting for
excuses to doubt God’s call to serve him in. In her usual nonchalant manner my
lovely wife then said something like, “You’ll never know unless you give it a
try.”
I picked up the phone and rang my new pastor. With hat
in hand I rambled on about how many years experience in worship leading I had
and that I’d been praying about offering my services to the church and now that
I heard the previous team had resigned… Jim cut me off in midsentence. “You
know what, Dudley?” he said, “You just interrupted Jane and me as we were
praying. We were just asking God to provide a musician this week and that if he
didn’t then we’d take it as his direction for us to leave the ministry.” I was
dumfounded and not a little humbled. Only our God could provide a need like
that in the way he did and use me to do it.
Dear God-tracker, you and I are in a race – a relay
race. Each of us is standing ready to humbly take up the baton from the other
in the call to grow the Kingdom of God. None of us is as important as all of us
so never take lightly the call of God on your life. If he has raised you up and
provided you with the gifting to do whatever he has called you to do then rest
assured, he will use you. And as you continue to acknowledge him then be
willing to humbly make that phone call or write that e-mail. God has ways of
not only confirming his calling on your life but also of meeting the needs of
others in the process. Meekly take up that challenge in faith and run. He who
promised is faithful and he will do it!

Help Me To Play My Small Part In The Greater Purpose
Of Building Your Kingdom
Pray
“Heavenly
father thank you so much for the purposes you have planned for my life. Forgive
me for ever taking your call for granted and I pray you’ll help me to keep my
eyes focussed upon you as you direct my ministry. Help me to humbly run this race as I take the
baton from the person behind me and help
me to play my small part in the greater purpose of building your kingdom.
Amen."
