THE ORDER OF WORSHIP
Thoughts from Max Lucado
Blessed are the Focused
“Each of you has received a gift to use to serve others”
1 Peter 4:10
There is only so much sand in the hourglass. Who gets it? You know what I’m talking about don’t you? . . . . .
“The PTA needs a new treasurer. With your background and experience and talent and wisdom and love for kids and degree in accounting. YOU are the perfect one for the job!” . . . .
It’s a tug of war, and you are the rope. . . .
“Blessed are the meek,” Jesus said. The word meek does not mean weak. It means focused. It is a word used to describe a domesticated stallion. Power under control. . .
Blessed are those who recognize their God-given responsibilities. Blessed are those who acknowledge that there is only one God and have quit applying for His position. Blessed are those who know what on earth they are on earth to do and set themselves about the business of doing it.

Worship with us, where the river bends, where the waters divide the world, where God is calling us beyond.
Sit and wait with us, until the drift breaks loose your strain, until your sins flow out to the sea,
until Christ lifts you up.
Cross over with us! In this place the Spirit stirs the deep;
the Way is open, and we cannot stay.
