God or Men?

Today has been an interesting day. As I sit and ponder what has transpired over the past several hours it is easy to ask the question... Is church about us or about God? I would have to say... God! He thought of it, He established it, and He will build it. Our job is to be faithful to what He asks of us. Where is He leading? What is His next step for our lives or the local church we serve? If we will be faithful to Him and not seek our own agenda... we will find His direction and His blessing.

My thoughts go to Galatians 1:10 where it says... "For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ." (NASB) I seek His will, not my own! If I will but find myself listening to Him and doing what He asks rather than just listening to the voices around me... I will soon realize I am simply a tool (bond-servant) in the hands of a Mighty God, building a great church. Be encouraged and keep advancing!
