Spreading Thin

It occurred to me last night as I wondered what my God might have in store for today, that I was once again getting frustrated with my phone. It replaced a previous model that had more space for apps, pics... everything. This one is about full. Thus, programs are running slow, sometimes having problems opening at all or staying functional.

How often does the same happen at church? Too much going on to run efficiently. Resources spread too thin to start anything new. It's more aggravating that what I'm experiencing with a silly phone. And yet, it's way more frequent. Plus there's the whole aspect of it affects the kingdom of God and all eternity, rather than my momentary angst.

So a very short post, but I think an appropriate one, that we should agree for those where space and resources are thin.

Let's pray this #effectiveSunday, that God would help them accomplish the miraculous with the team and resources that they have. May God give them creativity, to steward well what they have and to make the best of the situation as they submit their plans to Him. May God expand their tent stakes and give them increase as they faithfully fulfill the calling and purpose He had for them, in the communities they serve.

Effective and efficient for the glory of God
Using well the talents He has blessed us with.
For the advancement of the kingdom of God.
