“The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants too. Because God is the one who established it on the seas; God set it firmly on the waters.” (Psalm 24 CEB). In my view today this psalm sets the mood for overtime that we enter into anything in this world. I feel an overwhelming amount of humility as I read the first two verses of this Psalm.
Last night we had our youth ministry christmas party which here in cleburne is a combination of a Tacky Christmas Sweater Party and a progressive dinner. After we had our main course and were readying to leave for our final house of the night I had an emotional moment of realization. We had 60+ with us last night and none of this is possible without help, in fact 12 car loads worth of help. I thanked all the volunteers present and said none of this was possible without them and that I was extremely humbled to serve as their Youth Minister, to which an adult said thank you for giving our youth ministry stability again.
Everything belongs to God and yet He has trusted me with these youth and adults. There are no words that I can say to God to express the gratitude that fills my heart. My heart is full and for that I am thankful.
