Lessons in Humility
These churches and leaders – in our host country and in many of the areas represented at this gathering – know they need each other to do their part in “the work of God’s hands.” And – maybe since real threats lead some to acknowledge their limited years – these leaders seek God’s kingdom, and proclaim God’s name, not their own. And day by day, they get to celebrate God’s fruit of their labors: they faithfully participate in the work of God’s hands, and do so for the name and glory of the Lord alone.
There’s more to ponder, from that time and from the Psalm. But I have much to learn in these two areas and from our friends across the globe. Wherever God has you on mission and in ministry, I wonder if you do too.
