Balance...

Greetings!

I had the pleasure of serving at the nursing home with two of my church sisters today. I love that ministry because the focus is not on what we are doing as much as it is for who we are doing it. I love the residents there. They love the Lord and they come expecting God to show up and He never disappoints...

Although we have an order of service, we leave room for the Holy Spirit to do whatever He wants to do. That service doesn't belong to us and because we know that...God always leans in our direction when we are there. He has anointed us for this ministry and it's obvious in the way the residents respond. They know all the hymns, and they are serious about "church." It doesn't matter that they are in a nursing home...for that moment, it is transformed into God's sanctuary.

Today, my sister reminded  us of the importance of balance. She spoke about how we sometimes forget that those things that are good to us are not necessarily good for us and that too much of anything can turn a blessing into a curse. Not taking care of our bodies will eventually cause problems with our health and that's what the enemy wants. He wants us to be so distracted that we don't eat the right things, or get enough rest or spend enough time with the Lord. The Bible says in 1 Peter 5:8, that the enemy is always roaming around to see who he can devour. Our job is to make his plan null an void. Stay focused on God. He will always cause us to triumph.

Until next time...

Be blessed
