Last night on my way to the Wednesday meal one of the staff members told me about a conversation they found themselves in that day. One of the members of the church had started asking them questions about the church. That is normal but what was abnormal was the person was asking about me and even my wife. They wondered about how I was doing and what role my wife played in the ministry here. The questions made the staff member uncomfortable. To them it appeared that the person was trying to uncover some problem. They also asked questions that made it seem like they thought the church was falling apart.
What caused me to reflect is that this person asking the questions is a person that I admire and I could not figure out what was going. So, I scratched my head and wondered. At first I was hurt. Were they coming after me for some reason? Then I was upset. Were they sowing discontent among staff and others? After the meal I went home puzzled.
My wife came home after leading the Wednesday worship service and suggested we go for an evening jog. She said it is a beautiful night. She was not aware of my puzzling mood. So, I jogged. As I jogged it became clear to me what I need to do. I needed to draw close to God and pray for this person. As I prayed it was clear to me that I do need to examine my own life and I began to pray that this person would be blessed and that they would continue to be used of God in many ways. After talking to God I went to sleep and found peace in resting in God’s care.
