What Kingdom Builders Know ...Written by Joyce C. Lock
Continued from page 1
Out of weakness, made strong... God uses common man in uncommon hour, wherein He gets glory. We then that are strong ought to bear infirmities of weak, and not to please ourselves. Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. Romans 15:1-2 Kingdom Builders know to utilize gifts of those in your midst and to multiply that seed in as many ways as doors open, as God gifted every one to be a light for Him. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17 Kingdom Builders know to let God be Master Builder. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith Lord. For as heavens are higher than earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as rain cometh down, and snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to sower, and bread to eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: mountains and hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all trees of field shall clap their hands.

What a good thing it would be were we to give something in return: 1.)to volunteer services to make their load easier. 2.)to not lean on them but upon God. 3.)to only ask for help when we can't find resolve. 4.)and, to try to become more like expectations we have for our leaders. Perhaps, then, we could begin impacting our world for Christ while allowing our leaders same privileges we have ... to have a family and a life. © by Joyce C.
