Nothing Landed Today
God's being exalted in the earth is not waiting on your evidence, so a Sunday you cannot see any fruit from is still a Sunday God was God in.
The drive home after a flat one
You know the drive home after a Sunday when nothing seemed to land.
Nobody answered. Two kids wrestled through the story. At a red light, you replay every missed moment and wonder whether the hour counted.
Don’t fix it yet. Notice the scorecard.
The sentence you did not go looking for
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10 (WEB)
The last line is an announcement: God will be exalted in the earth.
That is not balanced on a laugh, a calm room, or the answer you hoped to hear.
What the verse does not say
This verse does not promise that you will see the fruit of your serving next Sunday, this term, or ever.
It gives a certainty about God, not a guarantee about outcomes you can measure.
Being still long enough to stop scoring yourself
Before you get out of the car, be still for one minute.
Instead of rating the lesson, name one child to God. Thank him for that child.
That pause helps you be present and reminds you that you are not in charge of the results.
One question, one prayer
What would you need to see after serving for you to feel that the morning counted?
Serve without the scoreboard. God is still God in the Sunday you cannot measure.
Psalm 46:10 (WEB) — God says, “Be still, and know that I am God,” and declares that he will be exalted among the nations and in the earth.
What would you need to see after serving for you to feel that the morning counted?
God, slow me down when I am grading myself by reactions or visible results. Help me be present with the children in front of me and trust you when I cannot see what you are doing. Amen.
After your next ministry shift, before you get out of the car or begin the next task, stop for one minute. Name one child to God, thank him for that child, and refuse to rate the hour.
