1). Song of the Day: Kutless - ♫ Everything I Need ♫
2). Blog Entry: Leaders Corner
Last night, our speaker at Ministers Retreat spoke about when we as leaders go through times when we feel attacked. He gave us a key verse from Acts 23:11 'The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”' This was right after Paul had testified in front of the Jewish people, but they had him thrown in prison. It didn't go very well, yet God appeared to him to encourage him not to give up. These are some of the lessons we learned. God was with him all along. God approved of his message even if the people around him didn't. Though the results were not what he wanted, God was still pleased. God's plan will sometimes be met with resistance among those we deliver it to. Though we may feel like failures, God still has us in His hand. Though we may feel insignificant now (Jerusalem), God has bigger plans for us than we can possibly imagine (Rome).
