Clay in the Hands

I am back state-side after a weekend in Juarez, Mexico with local pastors and their wives.  It was the best conference we have done to date.  The 38 couples in attendance all had a great time.  The weekend gave them time to rest and refresh as well as challenged them to take a serious look at their individual spiritual walk and how that is lived out in their marriages and ministries.

I walked away with the renewed realization that pastors – regardless of where we serve – all need encouragement and time to decompress.  But another reminder was the overwhelming sense of being part of something bigger.

I often get so focused on what God is doing in my little part of the world that I tend to forget that God is at work all over the world through faithful servants.  God is making a difference.

So when we watch the news and hear about all the evil in the world and begin to get the impression that bad is winning over good, remember that God is still in control and very much alive and well.

Be blessed today!
