Minstry is a funny thing. There are times when you just go through the day, or the week, or the month, and do the normal stuff. It can be easy to believe that everything is mundane, that everything that's done is just routine. But there can come a moment or a comment that works like an alarm clock in the morning. It's as though we're suddenly awake and aware that the sun is up and people are up and about. The moment that comes, or the comment that is made, causes us to lift our eyes and look around us, noticing anew that the God of Wonders is alive and active in our life.
I think that people who find themselves slogging through their spiritual life in depresssion, discouragement, and even despair, have forgotten to listen to the "spiritual alarm clocks" that alert us to the work of our Sovereign King.
Spiritual alarm clocks - that's an interesting thought. Lord, don't let my ears grow deaf to listening as your Spirit endeavors to awaken me to your wondrous activity.

I just wanted to let you know that I am reading your blogs. Most of it isn't new to me since we talk so often, but it's interesting just the same. I'll probably really be checking your blogs after you leave since we won't be talking as much. Love you.
