Just Think

Last night during out Disciple study on the early chapters of Exodus we focused on character traits (please see photos of work posted near the bottom of this page) of Biblical characters when the children of Israel were under slavery in Egypt.  Included were the powerful saga of Moses' and Aaron's encounters with Pharoah and their reliance on God.  An incredible story!  During our discussions Pastor David led us to think of our own unique personalities, gifts, and callings.  Are we willing to answer?  The study reminded me of a Biblical quote and also a poem by Roy Lessin... found on the back of my calendar! 

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:4


Just Think
By Roy Lessin

Just think,
you're here not by chance,
but by God's choosing.
His hand formed you
and made you
the person you are.
He compares you to no one else -
you are one of a kind.
You lack nothing
that His grace can't give you.
He has allowed you to be here
at this time in history
to fulfill His special purpose
for this generation.

  1. What an incredible study last night! Many thanks for everyone's participation in our activity and working through the characters and their respective traits. How important it is for us to consider our own gifts today. Blessings as we move into the details of the law and the commandments for which we are responsible for living out, for embodying in our daily walk with the Lord.
