Leviticus 25:23 “‘The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is Mine and you reside in My land as foreigners and strangers.’”
My church has been going through a visioning process for almost a year. A group of parishioners, made up of folks of varying ages in varying Sunday school classes and going to different worship services, are trying to ascertain where the LORD is leading us to be sure that we are serving as His hands and feet in our community.
Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to Him.
Today’s scripture reminds me why this visioning process is so important—it’s not our church. It’s His. They are not our missions and programs. They are His. And if we are truly trying to be His hands and feet in this world, it’s important to be sure we are going where He leads us, which involves prayer and reflection on what we are doing and what He is asking of us.
1 Corinthians 10:26 For “the earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it.”
Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for the reminder that this world and everything in it are Yours. Thank You for allowing us to be Your stewards and for the reminder that as such, we need to be prayerful that we are following Your lead. Continue to guide us through this process. Help us to do Your will. Amen.
1 Chronicles 29:11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor for everything in heaven and earth is Yours.
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
