If you need a word from the Lord, you must be attentive. Open the Word and let it speak to you. Brenda was sixty-two years old when we accepted the call to serve a church in crisis. As the enormity of the task became increasingly apparent, she began to feel overwhelmed. She couldn’t help but wonder if we had made a mistake. In desperation she cried to the Lord and searched His word. As she did the Lord directed her attention to 1 Chronicles 28:10: “The LORD has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary. Be strong, and do the work.” The challenges were still overwhelming but now she was at peace. The Lord had spoken.
“Serve [the Lord] with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind…If you seek him, he will be found by you.”
— 1 Chronicles 28:9 (NIV 1984)
Lord speak to us from the Word and by the Spirit. Amen.
