“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Wednesday; July 16, 2008

          A couple of weeks ago, a group from our church had that chance to work on the Habitat For Humanity house.  As we worked on the house, there were several people doing some technical stuff (like measuring and cutting the gabled siding) while I resigned myself to doing the more menial tasks.  You know, I was okay with that because I have very little talent when it comes to doing that type of work and even less skill at advising those caliber of people.  We would have all been in trouble had I been the one charged with overseeing that task.

          As I thought about my role, I got to thinking about how I should also be pleased with another subservient role – serving God.  It’s awful tempting to play the role of one of God’s advisors; but, I have neither the power nor the insight to do an effective job.  Frankly, neither God nor mankind would be better off if I ran the world.

         Let’s accept our role as servants of God rather than His counselors.  Remember what the Bible says, “… the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”  (I Corinthians 1:25)

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
