These devotions are a part of casting vision to our leaders. I want to do everything I can to help them remember that they are making a difference for the kingdom of God and spreading the love of Jesus effectively. All the while challenging them to stretch in their own walk with Christ.

"When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark you
don’t throw your ticket away and jump off. You sit still and trust the
engineer."
~Corrie ten Boom~
As I sat and chewed on this a bit I started to get it. Many
times we do jump off the train. We don’t fully trust. We like to say we do or
think we do, but if we’re honest, we don’t.
Perhaps we don’t throw our ticket away but we sure do run up
and tell the engineer how to drive or do his job according to the way we want
it to be done.
See when were in dark times or low times, this is when we
need to rest. Resting in the fact that God (the Engineer) is in control and He
wants us to come out on the other side stronger and ready to give testimony to
His grace and love.
So what’s this have to do with what I’m doing here with
these kids? Think about the amazing things they will be able to do for God, if
they learn to do this early in life. The kids are learning how to do this from
you, today by you showing up, being present, and sharing God’s love. Because of
you doing this our kids have a chance of learning this.
You are making a difference!
