First Steps – May 24, 2021

Peace is a calm mind that is not perturbed by adversity, troubled by a remorseful conscience, or disturbed by fear. – Author Unknown

If a person does not keep pace with one’s companions, perhaps it is because one hears a different drummer. Step to the music which one hears, however measured or far away. – Henry David Thoreau

How true are both of these quotes? I think they are linked. People suffer from the desire to keep pace with everyone else. It is the scorecard, and most believe they are failing. Unfortunately, it is a sliding scale that can never be conquered, because it is fueled by envy and a lack of inward peace.

What is interesting to me is the work of the Holy Spirit that seeks to purify the inside of a person. Long before there is an outward change in a person, God’s Spirit changes the heart. Part of that transformative work is to form peace – inner peace. If the inside of a person is broken, then the outside will follow suit. However, if the inside is whole – at rest – then the actions will follow.

Today, listen for a different voice of God. Step to that voice; follow that voice and allow it to create a heart of peace. Can you hear God beckoning you to come away with him? Seek him and you will find him.

First Steps – May 17, 2021

Recently, I read an article about how the names are listed on the 9/11 Memorial in New York. Instead of listing the names by date-of-birth or in alphabetical order, they are listed by meaningful adjacencies. Basically, the names are listed by their connection to each other. For instance, firefighters are listed with other firefighters, first responders with other first responders, and people who worked together in an office are listed next to their co-workers.

Though a break from tradition, listing the names in a relational way is more therapeutic. I would argue that it gives a more accurate portrayal of the deceased. People define themselves through their connections. It could be family, friends, co-workers, or anything that is relational. People define themselves through their relational connections.

Naturally, as I read this article, I thought of baptism. This sacrament reminds us of our connection to each other through the bonds of Christ. We choose to love each other. We intentionally connect to each other in faith. This meaningful faith adjacency helps determine who we are and what we do.

I hope today you will spend time reflecting on the connections you have in your life. I hope you will give thanks for each one of them and how God has used them to help mold you into the person you are today.

First Steps – May 10, 2021

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of officiating my nephew’s wedding. His aunt and I were married when he was 3 years old. I have had the pleasure of watching him grow into a fine, hardworking man. He married a beautiful young lady and I’m excited to see their life together grow. Nonetheless, the venue for the wedding ceremony was picturesque. Planned as an outdoor wedding in a giant pasture with manicured grass, white seats, and a perfectly decorated arbor. Everything was stunning. However, two minutes before the ceremony was to start, the bottom fell out. Not just a little spring shower but a deluge. Noah would have approved. Then the wind started blowing the rain sideways, and to top it off, hail the size of quarters started to fall. It would have been comical had it not been the culmination of months of planning and every day before this day was perfection. Eventually, everyone moved to Plan B – a service under a pavilion. On one level, under the pavilion seemed better because it was a smaller setting which created more intimacy in the service. As you can imagine, thirty minutes after the service the sun broke through the clouds and the reception was an unspoiled celebration of the couple’s love for each other.

What was interesting to me was as soon as the ceremony was over, the weather wasn’t mentioned again. No one cared because everyone was there to celebrate the couple. Granted it was tense and anxious before the ceremony, but afterward, it was a passing thought. The couple was married and people were happy.

Often, we are enslaved by things we can’t control. Sure, we plan but life is not controllable. The promise of God is not that life will be controlled but that regardless of what comes, he will guide us through to the other side. I like how Jesus closed his greatest sermon, The Sermon on the Mount: “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise person who built a house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish person who built a house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law. (Matthew 7:24-29).

Faith is not the ability to control the uncontrollable but the assurance that one will guide through any and all circumstances. You will face storms in life, many will come without warning. The remedy is found in trusting in the one who holds you in the palm of his hands.
