When I reflect about “Earth”, and the disciplines that embodies I’m struck at the mere simplicity and necessity of these disciplines in order for myself to be an effective person in worship ministry. The Earth can be broken down into primarily two aspects of our spiritual formation, which are prayer and study of the bible.
I know that I’m continually seeking for the next latest and greatest thing that will revolutionize the way I do ministry. The reality that it won’t start from new cool lighting or a new sound board, but from personal revitalization that can only come through a healthy relationship and two way communication with God. The question I think I must ask myself more often is what am I doing to keep my relationship with Christ at the point of being the latest and greatest?
I wonder why it is so difficult for us to maintain a strong, healthy prayer life alongside studying the Word of God? I wonder if it is because we don’t see the link of our dreams becoming reality to the daily devotion of pursing the Lord’s dreams and plans for our lives? I’m reminded of Psalm 37:4, “take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” I find comfort in those words, that the dreams and desires of my heart will be fulfilled as long as I devote my life to Christ continually.
