Journey Through Acts (Acts 20)

Read - Acts 20

My Key Verse - Acts 20:28 “Now it’s up to you. Be on your toes—both for yourselves and your congregation of sheep. The Holy Spirit has put you in charge of these people—God’s people they are—to guard and protect them. God himself thought they were worth dying for.

My Reflection - What a great challenge to me as a pastor. I can really feel God saying to me in this new season, STEP UP. It's now up to me.

God is challenging me to new levels. That is why I have been journaling. Trust me it's not easy. It takes discipline and intentionality. But the reason is that I need to be on my toes. There is one thing I know about myself - I'm not perfect. I got a long way to go.

I don't want to take this calling lightly. The Holy Spirit will draw people to our church and when he does I must realize that He has put me in charge to guard and protect them.

WOW....that's a lot of responsibility.

My Prayer - Lord, I think this might be more than I can handle. That is why I'm trusting you, relying on you to help me get this done. I'm going to do better than my best. I ask that you meet me there.
