Another Sunday when no kids showed up.
Another Wednesday night with no one for Bible study.
Disappointment over small numbers when I expected God to show up in BIG ways.
Low turn out for worship again.
Over and over again, it seems whatever I put my hand to is doomed to failure. I try not to worry. I try not to be discouraged. Unfortunately, the trying fails.
"Lord, I just love you so much. I don't understand why others don't feel the same as me. Am I supposed to quit? Is it time to throw in the towel? Should I just walk away? Am I of better use somewhere else?" I asked God. I'm willing to go where He sends me. (I better not say that too loud.)
Truthfully though, I am a servant of God.
When no kids show up, I ask God what can I do differently. At one time there were enough kids to separate and add another children's Sunday School class. I know that can happen again, as long as I follow His lead.
When no adults come for Wednesday night Bible study or don't come to worship on Sunday. I pray and try to figure out why. What can I do differently? Is there something I'm missing?
As I dig into the Word of God. I find his message-be strong and courageous do the work! God will continue to help me accomplish his work. Do not be afraid or discouraged for God is with me! God is there, He knows what's going on. He will fix it. God will not fail me or forsake me. So even when I feel like I'm failing; God is not failing me.
As I trust Him. I know He's not finished with me yet and something great will happen!
