Pastoring Is Easy as is the Christian Life Together, getting to know our Father in heaven
Thoughts for Meditation from Pastor Tom
“The Green Truck”
If I gave you the keys to my car and told you to follow the next green truck that came by, where would you end up ?
Where the “green truck” ends up. From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.Matthew 4:17-20 KJVS
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.Matthew 18:3-4 KJVS
Following Christ with the simple humility of a child will lead you into God's kingdom and fulfillment of his plan for you.
Simply identify and pursue the “Green truck” to end up wherever it goes. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. John 10:4 KJVS
A child will simply follow with or without understanding when they know the leader.
It doesn’t matter if you believe what you hear, just listen and follow.
Most people would say “God knows best” but struggle to hear and yield due to undeveloped trust.
Through experience, engaging with his love, trust will develop, belief will come.
Learn his voice and develop trust in the basic questions or life. What shirt do I wear or what food do I eat?
You can humbly receive and honestly respond to the Lord.“Follow the green truck”
