balance

I am blogging late today because I was behind working on my talk for this week-end. After 27 years of ministry I could just wing it but I can’t do that. I believe that every congregation truly needs to hear from God every week so I must put my best efforts into preparation. Then if God doesn’t help me I am in trouble. I pray every week that folks hear from God and not from me.

On top of message preparation, I am trying to pray for two hours a day and then there are hurting folks, leaders who need coaching, meetings, planning, and time with my family. I love this life! A lot has been written about balance, which is very good, but I want to walk with God. When I do everything else comes around. Jesus promised when we seek His Kingdom everything else will be added. Good advice.
