A Word From the Pastor - June 2021

Wow, I can’t believe that we’re about to enter into summer!!! This year is flying by. A few weeks ago, in a sermon, I mentioned the concept of making our waiting room our classroom. This isn’t an original thought of mine; I got it from a gardening YouTube channel I watch, Roots & Refuge. God often places us in a waiting room of sorts. It’s when we feel like our dreams or goals are on hold. God can use this waiting time to show us who he is and what it means to be his children, which is the classroom part. Remember in the Bible in Exodus where the people of Israel are in the desert wandering, like in a holding pattern, for 40 years? Well, that wasn’t wasted time. That time was spent building their faith in God, trusting he would take care of them for all of their needs, like food and water. It was where they learned God’s character. They found out God did care about them and that he was trustworthy. They also found out he meant business, they were disciplined when they went against him. This taught them what God expects of his children.

Over the past year, God’s people have been in a wilderness, a waiting room. If we take a look at this waiting room as a classroom, what is God trying to show his people? What is he showing us about himself? It’s not a whole lot different from what he showed the people of Israel so long ago, and that is that he is our provider. We are to be dependent on him and not on the world around us. The people of Israel had become dependent on the Egyptians to meet their needs. I wonder if we had become dependent on the system as it has always been rather than God. Being a Christian is not about trusting church, but about trusting the One who is the head of the church, Jesus. Jesus loves the church, the body of Christ. Church is not about systems and ritual, though needed and important, and of course very useful if used properly. Many people have stopped trusting the church. Maybe it was time for the church to do the same thing, but for different reasons.

Has this year been an opportunity for us Christians to be reintroduced to who God is and who we are as his children? God is still our provider, we are to trust him and follow his plan for us, even when it seems hard. We are to worship him alone. When we start doing that, we will start to see the Holy Spirit moving. God wants to do great things through his people. We just need to trust him and know what it means to really be his people
