“You are not called upon to commit yourself to a need, or to a task, or to a field. You are called upon to commit yourself to God! It is He then who takes care of the consequences and commits you where He wants you. He is the Lord of the harvest! He is the head of the body– and He is gloriously competent to assume His own responsibilities!
Man is not indispensable to God. God is indispensable to man!”
[Ian Thomas, 1961]
I found this quote a while ago in a prayer calendar that sits on mine & Carrie’s desk. It’s now on my computer desktop. I love it. It’s such a great reminder to me everyday that God is the one in control here. That the only thing I really need to focus on is Him and committing my life to Him. I get too wrapped up in the details sometimes to remember this very simple, basic part of our Christian faith. What about you? [smile]

Glad that you're all well. Doesn't "strong" feel great? Thanks for the reminder that once we set our hearts on God (or each time we renew that vow), He guides our life. That really spoke to me this morning.
Thanks for sharing this thought with the rest of us. If only one can remember such magnificient thoughts at those most critical of times!
Your ever lovin' PA
