I was led to write this yesterday-It might be mostly for Duane
and Jen but it certainly applies to all
Just a Tool
Royal Rangers
is just a tool: A tool to be used to bring young men to Jesus Christ. Once it
has brought them to Him it also can be used to keep them plugged into His Word,
His Body, and His Presence. When that tool doesn’t work
anymore then it is time to lay it down and pick up another tool. We need to ask
the Master Carpenter what tool will be most effective for shaping young
lives. Sometimes there is nothing
wrong with the tool-we have just grown weary and need a break-a rest. Or it
could be that the tool has become dull from lack of keeping it sharp. Are we
reading His Word and praying. Are we spending time in His presence and becoming
renewed? We are also tools of Gods
choosing and we need to stay sharp. We don’t want to be set down and have God
use another to do what we were called to do. And let us not
grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose
heart. Gal 6:9 "I know your
works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil.
And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found
them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My
name's sake and have not become weary. Rev 2:2-3 Heb 12:2-3 looking unto Jesus, the author and
finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the
cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of
God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself,
lest you become weary and discouraged in your
souls.
