The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.
The world and all its people belong to him.
For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas
and built it on the ocean depths. Psalm 24:1-7
By Pastor Linda
I’m writing this devotion on the morning of my 72nd birthday, so please pardon my time of personal reflection. I have had the privilege for the majority of my work life to be part of a team led by Pastor Tim White of building a “great caring network.” I have to be honest and tell you that I had no idea what I was getting into when I accepted the challenge of changing my career from Sales and Marketing Executive in the business world to a Pastor. The minute Pastor Tim invited me to join the team, I knew in my heart that this is what I had been prepared to do. (Maybe not as prepared as I thought I was, however).
I made that career change in January of 1989, so it has been a journey of over 31 years. I have to tell you it has been the best decision I have ever made. Oh, there have been many times that I have said to God, “you want me to do what?” But I have to tell you, when God has His hand on your life, there is only one way to go and that is His way. Now His way is very different for every person and even changes as time goes on, so that’s why we need to walk with him every minute of every day. Its not like he says, “here’s your assignment, now go do it.” No, He gives us a glimpse and a focus and says, “let’s go, we’ve got this, I’m with you every step of the way, lean on me.”
King David knew this when he wrote the words of Psalm 24… “The world and all its people belong to him…” That’s you and me.
This week Pastor Tim has recorded a wonderful message on Psalm 24 to inspire and challenge us. Join me for a wonderful online service at 10:30 am on Sunday. You can take part in this weeks service by going to our website, www.wacathedral.org, our Wacathedral App, Facebook Live or You Tube Live. Hope to see you Sunday.
Blessings on your life and your day,
Pastor Linda
