March 2010 An Encouraging Word From the Pastor’s Desk… From our Lenten study book, Devotional Classics: Think of the contrast between our ways and
God’s ways! We seek the spectacular
act of devotion, the quantum leap of faith; God focuses on the seemingly
insignificant changes that occur “little by little.” We are concerned to watch out for number
one; God invites us to “renounce the care of ourselves.” We want to relegate God to the extracurricular
category of our lives; God wants our complete attention. We want things done right now; God
possesses eternal patience. These are
the ways God chooses to work, and as we come into line with God’s ways and
operate in constancy with his ways, we learn that they are altogether good. n Richard J. Foster, editor May God’s ways become your ways today so that you can experience the Goodness of God and enjoy living the GOOD-GOD! Life.
