1/15 :: like sheep without a shepherd...
read matthew 9:35-38
at some point it must begin to sink in that we are the workers being sent out into “his harvest field”… Jesus is talking about you and I. as he organizes us and makes us a fully functioning living organism (a church), we must keep in mind that all this is happening for a reason. God is drawing people to himself, and he uses us to do so. he doesn’t need us, but he graciously involves us and allows us to be a part of carrying out his divine plan. we must simply be willing to get into peoples’ lives and allow him to work through us.
† today, let’s pray for our corporate impact on the city of baton rouge…that we would have a burden for the lost in our city, and that we would rise to the occasion when given opportunities to minister.

Father, transform us - use us - break us - do whatever it takes to reveal Your love for us in a way that overflows into the lives around us. For Your Kingdom - for Your glory - for You.
In Jesus' name - AMEN
