Received From Heaven

John the baptist said of Jesus, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven." I think it is something to really consider regarding ministry. There are people with large amounts of influence, like Jack Hayford, Bill Hybels, Joel Osteen, Wayne Cordeiro, Henry Shore. As I have been thinking of my role as Unit Supervisor, and that I oversee some pastors, I have wondered how it the world did I get to this place. For many, they would consider it a very small place, but for me, I consider it a very big place. I am little in a big place, but this scripture helps me see that it has been God who has given me people who will follow. I have always known this, but it's encouraging to see this verse, and rest in it. It gives me more confidence, and a greater sense of humility, to lead.
