This weekend was uber-fun for competitions and games, but it was also nice to hear someone speak from God's Word. Our speaker talked about Jesus' compassion, where He healed the man with leprosy and brought a person back to life. He also talked about how fierce Jesus is...He was a man on a mission, and no one was going to get in His way. It's neat especially in Mark 5:1-15 where the demons even acknowledge Jesus' power and have to beg Him not to send them out. He does all this and lives His life in this amazing way...but then the 4th session really got down to the heart of the matter...HOW does He manage to do all this?
He folded His hands in dependence (prayer) first, and only then did He open His hands to serve others.
Our speaker gave so many examples of how Jesus was on His knees in prayer before and after anything He did. It really convicted me of how little I pray, and how little I really trust God for. I think it really relates to all this support-raising that I'm doing. I really need to fold MY hands in dependence and pray about everything I'm doing. THAT'S when I can tap into the most amazing power ever. THAT'S when I can find peace, because I'll know it's not me.
Thanks for reminding me that I'm SUPPOSED to suck at support-raising, Kev! :) Because only when I give up and stop taking over, will He take over.
Yay John Legend and K-Os July 15th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Naoms, bring your camera, we'll figure out something to make this a hilarious outing! ;)
