11am – Serving the Lord at any age

This morning we turn to Exodus chapters 6 and 7. Moses has suffered an apparent setback in what he has been called to do, but we will see that is is all part of God’s plan. We will see how serving God is a lifelong calling and doesn’t always come with the instant results we want.

From the Pastor’s desk.

An anonymous poem.

I asked God for strength that I might achieve-
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health, that I might do greater things-
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy-
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men-
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life-
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for-
But everything that I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am among all men most richly blessed.

[From the book “Look, No Hands” by Brian Gault.]

2. Corinthians 12 verse 10: “Therefore, I delight in weaknesses, in insults in distresses, in persecutions, in difficulties, on behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

My Testimony

I had a happy childhood but none of the family thought about God at all. At 17 I was asked out by a Christian guy. As we got to know each other he tried to talk to me about God but I really wasn’t interested, in fact I began to get angry when he suggested that all was not well between God and me. I just didn’t want to think about it.

Being dragged (almost literally!) into church was odd. I quite enjoyed the service! From there I began to consider God’s claims on my life but after a few weeks decided that following Christ was too big a step and not for me. However, God had other ideas! During an afternoon chat I suddenly felt an overwhelming desire to get down on my knees. I fought tooth and nail – but lost. David prayed over me and suddenly – I guess I’m a Christian.

I found myself wanting to read the Bible and pray, neither of which I’d had any interest in before. It was about 3 months later, going to church and learning about this God who had called me to himself that I began to realise that sin is a complete barrier between God and human beings. My life was outwardly respectable but inside it was always me first and the Bible calls that sin.

That was 40 years ago and God has been beside me all the way since. In the inevitable difficult times it’s been so good to know that I can trust him, that nothing happens just by blind chance. I have a prayer answering God who loves me.
