I've been pondering a lot lately the concept of honoring God--the ramifications, the process. How do you honor God when you aren't sure what He wants in a given situation? Is anything you do okay, as long as you're trying to honor God when you do it?
I cannot tell you the frustration we feel sometimes, feeling that we have a clear calling to serve God at Shepherd's Staff, and yet feeling that we have to fight every step of the way toward fulfilling that calling. It has been amazing to see groups here at Shepherd's Staff--men's group who are intentionally seeking to develop godly manhood, youth retreats where young people learn how to answer the hard questions about their faith, opportunities for fathers to date their daughters.
At the same time, there is much resistance to growth at Shepherd's Staff. We feel and see Satan working to divide staff, to bring doubt into our lives, to stop God's work here in Rexford.
So...will you pray for us over the course of the next few weeks? Pray that God will be honored by our thoughts, words and actions. Pray that others will see God's light shining through the ministry of Shepherd's Staff. Thanks.
