Guard the deposit 06-06-2006
OK, I was having some trouble putting this blog on last week. Lets hope it works out this week. I hope you enjoy... and comment.
This morning I was reading the last verses of 1 Timothy. Paul tells Tim to ¡°Guard the deposit entrusted to you,¡± and I started to think of the deposits that Christ has put into my life.
It started out with the basics:
Salvation
Grace
Love
The Holy Spirit
But it soon became personal
My family
My wife Dawn and our marriage: We need to guard the vows we made to each other June 29 2003. To lean on God and each other.
My Daughter Lucy: God had given her to us as a deposit of love and charged us to raise her to know Him and to live for him.
My Passion for Youth: God has deposited in me a love and passion for youth. Some people don¡¯t understand it, but that is the deposit he placed in my (probably since birth, but it came alive when working at Glendale Presbyterian Church in 1997). God has been continually developing that deposit and gives me joys and heartaches as I go along.
My Work: God has given me my actual job at Christ Community Church and wants me to do it to the best of my ability.
God has deposited so much in my life and calls for me to guard it. It¡¯s not easy. I don¡¯t do it very well, but I press on.
What are some of the deposits Christ has made in your life?
