Reflections: July 21-22, 2007

This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith, Pastor of Teaching/Worship

This week in our Old Testament Journey, we looked at the life of Saul. While he was out looking for lost donkeys, God interrupted his life and anointed him to be the first kind of Israel. But Saul was never able to fully trust God. This led to disobedience of God and fear of people. When Saul got close to truly repenting and following God, it became clear that he only wanted to find releif from his pain and feel better.

This week as we live in our world, may we do a better job at trusting God with our whole life and of obeying His Word? May we allow God to rule our lives instead of allowing the fear of people rule our lives? And when that pain comes from our sin may we pursue true repentance through Christ and not just look for relief.

Take time this week to thank God for His love and His patience with you as we all learn how to live more fully, trusting God especially in those unexpected interruptions of life.
