First Steps – September 28, 2020

Lately, I’ve been praying for myself. I want to be more patient. I’m a planner—I know this about myself. On one level, I like this about myself. But on another level, when my plans are interrupted, there lies the rub. Knowing this, I want to be more patient, especially in handling interruptions.

Are you like me? If so, Dietrich Bonhoeffer has a good word for us. He said, “We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God, who will thwart our plans and frustrate our ways time and again, even daily, by sending people across our path with their demands and requests.” (Life Together and Prayerbook of the Bible).

Try this. The next time your plans are interrupted, imagine it as an opportunity to commune with God. See the interruption as a gift.

First Steps – September 21, 2020

Recently a good friend sent this devotional to me. Originally penned by Paul David Trip (New Morning Mercies), I thought it was worthwhile to share.

In a world of justice gone bad, where disloyalty brings daily pain, where government is corrupt, and even faithful friends come up short; where the haves get more and the have-nots wonder why; and where it is very tempting to look over the fence at someone else’s life and wonder why so much good has fallen on him [or her], it is so good to know that you never play favorites. You lavish riches of grace on each and every one of your children. You meet every child’s every need, and you do it with unbroken faithfulness. So I will quit keeping score. I will not judge your goodness. No, I will rest in the bounty of your mercy.

I’m not sure what lines resonate with you, but for me, the lines “very tempting to look over the fence” and “I will quit keeping score.” It has been my experience that if I focus on God’s goodness, the desire to keep score or look over the fence just doesn’t matter anymore. Spend your time reflecting on the goodness of God. The rest will take care of itself.

First Steps – September 14, 2020

When Saint Basil came to the monastery one day, he said to the abbot, ‘Do you have someone here who is obedient?’ The other replied, ‘They are all your servants, master, and strive for their salvation.’ But he repeated, ‘Do you have someone who is really obedient?’ Then the abbot led a brother to him, and Saint Basil used him to serve during the meal. When the meal ended, the brother brought him some water for rinsing his hands. Saint Basil said to him, ‘Come here, so I may also offer water to you.’ The brother allowed the bishop to pour the water. Then Saint Basil said to him, ‘When I enter the sanctuary, come, so that I may ordain you deacon.’ When this was done, he ordained him priest and took him with him to the bishop’s palace because of his obedience. (The Wisdom of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, pages 97-98).

Often when we think of humility, we think of serving others. Seldom do we associate having obedience and the ability to be served with humility. Humility is born first out of obedience. If we are first obedient, then serving or allowing others the opportunity to serve will take care of itself. Focus on obedience. If you do so, you will naturally be a servant.
