Pastor Bruce’s blog

I’m sitting here in the Charlotte, NC airport just waiting for the next plane.  I planned this visit to see our friends the Arendas’ before I knew the challenges that lay before me. I’m really glad that I could pray with Larry and Carole and have the Lord speak to me through them.   You see, I have two ministry opportunities the next two weekends and well, frankly, I’m a little nervous.  I love ministering in our own church.  I know our folks and I love them and anyone who comes in the door who is new is at least a friend in the making.  It’s home.  But now I’m being asked by the Lord to go to 2 other cities and give them what He gives me for them, not really knowing them or how they will receive what Robin and I say.  That’s a bit nerve wracking! And I know I can’t do it on my own!  Hey, I don’t have what it takes at home, let alone somewhere else with people who are culturally different than I am.  It’s beyond me.  But isn’t that good?  Shouldn’t we consider that we don’t really have it so all together in life and turn to the Lord for His supply?  Yes, I think so.  So uncomfortable as life’s opportunities can be sometimes, we can be successful in what we do if we seek the Lord for the supply we need at the right time.  His grace is sufficient for the ordinary or the extraordinary.  I won’t be sufficient in myself, but He gives His great sufficiency to those who rely on Him.  And I can be comfortable with relying on Him.  As long as He’s with us, we can do anything any one of us is called to do.  PB
