Psalm 23

Read Psalm 23. Now let me ask you, what do you think David was talking about when he said goodness and mercy; or goodness and love in other versions, will follow me all the days of my life?

As I read this in my morning devotional I was challenged to think about this; I had always thought that if God was my protector, on my side, then goodness and mercy would follow me; meaning that it would be something I could expect. That being said;look at Jesus; he was perfect and yet people despised him, tried to trick him, demanded of him, hurt him, denied and betrayed him. So would you think goodness and mercy followed him? Absolutely!!! I wasn't about him receiving it was about him giving; he brought goodness and mercy and love everywhere he went.

So let us forgive as we have been forgiven, let us loved as we have been loved and let us pass on the inheritance Jesus has given us.

It is no secret that I joined the ministerial association kicking and screaming; however in the meeting today I couldn't help but feel God's Spirit. As I left today I was once again reminded that God is working in our lives and in the life of His church. The theme of the meeting seemed to be on God being up to something in Logan County and that it was up to us as his followers to see what he's up to and join him there.

Well, you have heard me say it a lot in the past few weeks; "The Spirit of God is alive in the people of God" which is the theme for our KY region transformational focus. God is working in the lives of his children and it is up to us to see what he is doing and join him there. It is not up to us to create new programs and ask his blessing,He is already working let's see what he is doing and join him.

In order for this to take place we have to be willing to share what God is doing in our lives and we also have to be willing to listen to what God is doing in the lives of those around us. I am excited about partnering with the KY Region and Dr. Roxburgh, I truly believe that God is up to something in our church and our county.
