Started thinking...

Ok, so I went to a friends site and read her blog. She posted about getting closer to God and being in his presence. So that got me thinking. I wonder how many people work so hard to do things for God but yet that is not what God wants them to do. People, I think, try to do many thing for God and yet they neglect the ONE main ingredient and that's God! We gotta get this project done or we gotta do that out reach or this ministry and yet God is sitting there waiting for us to listen. I don't know about you but i much rather listen for God and work WITH God,instead of working For God. When your working with God things fall into place, people show up to help, people see his love, and most importantly the message of Christ is made known. "It's not by strength or by power but by His spirit", and i can give you a example. My very most beloved friend Tim Ligon was putting in his resume to be a pastor and on one of his trips his wife and him were driving there. And as they're traveling God gives them peace and comfort about the whole thing. that's even before they get there! Well when they arrive in this small town he goes to the church, the whole interview process, and gets voted in 5 out of 5 people. Funny thing is that's how many people were at his church when he start, 5. Now he's running a worship team, youth group, youth event, and many other things and his church is in the upper 70 and maybe more. One of my prayers is that God will bless him and continue to do his work through tim and eniko and everytime i call him, the church is growing and God is doing some awesome things! Working with God... what a concept. I can do all things through christ who give me strength. I hope you guys out there take some time to check yourselves... are you working for God or are you working With God? I pray that we are working with Him.
