PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD
A newly appointed pastor went
to visit the home of a congregation member. Upon arriving, the minister discovered that
his host was an avid gardener and was only too delighted to show his pastor
around his lovely garden, a magnificent sea of green, purple, blue, white, pink
and yellow.
Wanting to set their
relationship off on both a positive and spiritual note, the pastor remarked,
“Praise God for the beauty of his handiwork!”
But his host replied in a
somewhat offended tone, “Now pastor, don’t go giving all the credit to God. You should have seen this garden when the
Almighty had it to himself!”
The gardener’s comment seems
somewhat irreverent on the face of it, but there is a theological truth in his
perspective. Actually, God has designed
this world in such a way that HE works in partnership with US. And as we work in harmony with Heaven, God’s
objectives can be achieved on earth.
Indeed, we are His planetary stewards – not only over His entire creation
– but over our allotted time, talent and treasure.
Invest yourself.
Sisters and brothers, be continually
blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON
COMING KING. Maranatha!
