First Steps – July 26, 2021

There is a story I recall about the legendary golfer, Gary Player. One afternoon he was practicing sand shots from a bunker. Some of his practice shots ended up in the hole. A little boy stood watching these shots and upon the hole-outs said, “Wow, those were lucky shots!” Gary Player responded, “The more I practice, the luckier I get.”

I don’t know if the story is true, but I do know that the more I practice something, the better I become at doing it. The same is true with faith; the more it is put into practice, the stronger it becomes. Spiritual Disciplines are the means by which we practice our faith. There is nothing fancy or sexy about them. They are routine, basic, practice shot-after-shot, but they perfect something on the inside that is needed for daily living.

Embrace disciplines! In the beginning, it will be difficult. It may even seem like a waste of time because it is hard to see the effect; however, it is honing something on the inside (within you) that when the time comes to be revealed will be pure and holy.

This Week’s Readings:

First Steps – July 19, 2021

Very early on Sunday mornings, one can find me on the sanctuary balcony. Often, I will retreat there before services when the sanctuary is empty. I like it when the church is quiet and still. It is peaceful. Normally, I think of the people who will enter the sanctuary, sit in the pews, and worship. I pray for the encounter that all will have as they worship.

On a recent trip to the balcony, I noticed some little nameplates on the outer end of each pew. I’m sure this was part of a building or renovation project from the past. There were gifts given to meet a need and the plaques honor those gifts. However, they are part of a larger story, a legacy of faith with a connection to a particular community. Larger still, they are part of a meta-narrative of a universal Church that rests under the feet of Jesus Christ.

Sometimes people forget the connection they have with Christ and each other. That connection transcends a particular time or a particular place. It is eternal. Our individual story is part of a larger narrative, a collective story of faith. I’m certain there will be a day when my name will only be a name listed in a journal or maybe on a plaque—granted, I want that to be a long time from now, but I’m sure that day will come. I’m comforted by the knowledge that I’m part of a larger story, a narrative that is unending and sits in the palm of God’s hand.

I hope you know you are part of that story as well. This week, I hope you will reflect on the vastness of The Gospel of Jesus. See with the eyes of faith your part in the narrative. You are not alone. God has invited you to be a part of the story of faith.

First Steps – July 12, 2021

By definition, a Milestone is a stone set up beside a road to mark the distance in miles to a particular place. It can also be an action or event marking a significant change or stage (occurring) in development. In Genesis 12:7, Abraham built an altar alongside the great tree of Moreh at Shechem because God appeared to him with a promise. Abraham would build another altar alongside the trees of Mamre (Genesis 15-18). These altars were not only Milestones but Faithstones. They marked a change in his life that he would later visit for encouragement. It was a reminder of God’s presence in his life.

Everyone needs milestones and faithstones in their lives. They are the visual reminders of change and development. Like Abraham, they can also be a place of safety and comfort when tossed about due to the storms of life or missteps. Do you have any known faithstones? How do you mark those pivotal faith developments in your own life? Find a way to mark where God has shown up in your life. It doesn’t have to be a huge altar, just a personal visual reminder. They will serve you well in the days to come.

This Week’s Readings:

Monday – Revelation 8
Tuesday – Revelation 9
Wednesday – Revelation 10
Thursday – Revelation 11
Friday – Revelation 12

Please Pray for:

Families in crisis.
