THANK YOU BECAUSE YOU TRUSTED ME
In this holiday season I want to thank God for trusting me and placing me in the ministry.
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord… for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; (1 Timothy 1:12 KJV)
I reflect about where I am and what I am doing, and a sigh of gratitude comes. It has been years of challenges, risks, happiness, sadness but…
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength to do his work. He considered me trustworthy and appointed me to serve him, (1 Timothy 1:12 NLT)
Four things for which I am thankful:
- For considering us worthy.
He considered me trustworthy and appointed me to serve him, (1 Tim. 1:12b NLT)
I would have not qualified for such a delicate calling, but God qualified and called me.
… even though I used to blaspheme the name of Christ. In my insolence, I persecuted his people. But God had mercy on me because I did it in ignorance and unbelief. (1 Tim. 1:13 NTV)
To be continued….
Think about it:
What area of the ministry has God trusted you with?
Are you grateful with God because He considered you worthy of His trust by trusting you a privilege?
In what way are you serving God with all your heart because of your gratitude?
