Dear Zion Family

When I do the dishes, the last dishes cleaned are the worst ones.  The pots, pans and slimy dirty dishes go last.  When I cut the lawn, the first thing i do is pick up all the dog droppings!  The worst part is done first.

It made me wonder a bit how situations can dictate the order of things.  It made me think of faith.  At times God works in my life to be mindful of the tough stuff, and at times it is the small easy details that are attacked first.

I also noted how this could also seem to be a personality trait.  Some people can only pay attention to the large tough things, and others the minor small ones.  Few people can do both, some how ordering in their life the ability to distinguish which approach is called for in any present situation.

By faith, through prayer, worship and participation with the church God does find a way to work in our lives.  And some of those ways relate to ordering priorities, deciding where to start in any given situation, and certainly the ability to understand God works in different ways with different people.

A great exercise in life is the ability to understand that not everyone will take our approach to things, and to understand people set priorities based on personality, present life circumstances, emotional and psychological factor and faith as well.  Understand that even we take a varied approach to dealing with life trying one technique one time and another technique for a different situation.  Our way is never the only way.  And perhaps growing in maturity and faith can mean growing in understanding  that at times we or others  may be limited or wrong in our approach to things.  

No matter what we do, or how well or poorly we do it, the one constant is Gods love for us, and Gods love for others.

Prayer:  Dear God, thank you for the promise of your love and grace in our lives through faith.  Open our minds and hearts that we may see in our daily life, the ability to grow in faith and understanding of the world around us as well as ourselves.  Amen.

Have a great week,

 

Pr Rob
