2-21-11 Monday, Presidents Day, 7:36 am Springfield, 44 degrees, cloudy.
Today I will meet with Doug Anderson from noon until about 8:30 pm. He is our HCI coach and is here for two days to meet with various teams and leaders. Given his schedule, I will rearrange my sabbath schedule for the week, and my celebration of presidents day. Doug will be very helpful to me, and to Wesley as we move forward in making more fruitful disciples of Jesus Christ.
Yesterday was another day of meaningful worship, spiritual response, and personal interaction. We have rearranged the order of the service so that a call to pray at the altar comes after the sermon, rather than earlier in the service. There has been significant response to this invitation in all services. It feels like there is a spiritual movement at Wesley that we have been praying for, hoping for, and working hard to organize for months. Additionally, our youth put on their traditional Presidents day weekend dinner theater, which was delightful, funny, delicious and well attended.
Isaiah 32
This chapter includes two sections, verses 1-8 and 9-20, both describe the nature of true leadership and how this depends on God at the center. Throughout the book of Isaiah, “he considers it as a given that life lived within the confines of the natural spiritual order will produce life and health, whereas life which flies in the face of God’s order can only produce disorder and disaster.” (Oswalt, p 579)
Guide me Lord as I seek to live today depending upon You completely, following the leading of Your Spirit.
