Seasons and Moments
Sunday 13 July 2008 at 12:35 pmMission Raleigh is made up of seasons and moments. There have been seasons of Mission Teams, seasons of summer staffs, seasons of volunteers, seasons for people, seasons for programs and seasons for communities. Seasons are out of our control. God set the seasons for ministry just like He does for nature. All you can do is be flexible and adapt to the season that God has you in enjoy the ride.
Now moments are a completely different thing. You don’t want to miss the moments. Moments are small, quick and easy to miss. I love the moments.
The moments is when shy little Nadashia comes up to lead music. When find a moment to sit down with a kid who just made a profession and hear her give you a beautifully simple definition of Salvation. Don’t get so caught up in ministry that you miss the moments!
Last Thursday was a great moment. It was Thursday after the block party. Most everyone had went home, like sane people do, and there were about 5 of us left just setting around in my office. Did any great truths get shared? Yeah right! But what happened in that moment was true fellowship. While we knew we should want to go home we were enjoying being with people who had the same passions, the same calling and the same Love for the same Lord. I loved that moment!
Jesus caught some moments. Like in Matthew 14:13-21 Jesus realized the moment instead of sending the people away he fed them fish and loves. That was a moment that Jesus wanted to take in.
