Seek God!
Summer
time is here and many of you will be taking vacations while we gather for
worship. Now you may want to take a vacation from the job, from household
duties, from the neighborhood, but don’t take a vacation from God. I encourage
you if you are on vacation to try a different worship experience on Sunday
morning. It may be around a campfire at a national park, or on the beach near
your hotel, or maybe go to church with the relatives you are visiting. Each community which belongs to Christ
has something to teach us. Spend a moment in prayer as you climb out of that
bed that is not your own.
Summer
is a more relaxed time with some jobs. Perhaps you have time to read your Bible
more in depth. Or perhaps catch up on that Christian book you have been meaning
to read. Or become involved building a house with Habitat for Humanity. Or simply make the time to
walk at lunch in a place where you can admire God’s creation.
Seek
God! God is more than ready to be found, than we are sometimes to seek God. And
God shows up in the most bizarre places.
Come
back from vacation ready to tell others where you have seen God in new and
different ways. Be ready to be touched by creation, by the beauty human hands
have made, by courage others have in living their lives. Talk and walk with God
as you cross over to see what lies beyond the horizon. Summer is a time for God!
