I was really encouraged by this post on self-immolation in ministry. I often wonder if I am being a good steward of my time. I try to redeem my commute home to prepare my heart to serve my family. Times in ministry are sometimes very busy and almost breakneck speed. This week, for instance, I had an elder’s meeting that lasted till 11PM and then turned around for a 6:30AM meeting with another guy. This article, then, proved very helpful when it summarized and said:
work hard, play hard. The body needs its rest and exercise as surely as it needs food and drink. The minister who neglects these is “a self-immolated victim”.
May God grant me that kind of grace so that He is ultimately glorified in what I do.
