I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT WHEN THINGS GET ROUGH, I AM QUICK TO CALL MY PASTOR AND ASK HIM TO KEEP ME IN HIS PRAYERS. I AM ALSO QUICK TO TALK TO MY PASTOR WHEN I AM FEELING DOWN, AGGRAVATED OR UPSET. HE IS ALWAYS THERE TO LISTEN TO MY PROBLEMS AND I KNOW HE HAS SPENT ALOT OF TIME PRAYING FOR ME. I AM SO THANKFUL TO HAVE THE PASTOR THAT GOD HAS CHOSEN TO LEAD ME HERE ON THIS EARTH. HE IS READY, WILLING AND AVAILABLE TO LEAD AND GUIDE ME IN THE BEST WAY HE KNOWS HOW. I FEEL SURE THAT I CAN SPEAK FOR MY ENTIRE CHURCH FAMILY WHEN I SAY THAT OUR PASTOR IS TRULY A GODSEND!
JUST AS WE HAVE DAILY PROBLEMS, ANXIETIES AND FEARS, SO DOES OUR PASTOR. WE SOMETIMES SEEM TO FORGET THAT OUR BELOVED PASTOR HAS MANY OF THE SAME TROUBLES IN HIS DAILY LIFE. OUR PASTORS ARE HUMAN BEINGS, WITH WEAKNESSES, SORROWS AND TEMPTATIONS, JUST LIKE US. WORRY, FEAR AND ILLNESS ALSO KNOCK AT HIS DOOR. IT IS QUITE EASY TO SAY THAT WE STAND BEHIND OUR PREACHER. I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH HIM AT TIMES AS WELL, SOMETIMES EVEN STANDING IN FRONT OF HIM TO BLOCK ATTACKS OF THE ENEMY, TO HOLD HIM UP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE. OUR PASTOR NEEDS US, JUST AS WE NEED HIM.
MY PASTOR OFTEN USES ROMANS CHAPTER 12 IN HIS SERMONS IN ORDER TO TEACH US TO BE MORE LIKE JESUS. HE URGES US TO BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD AND TO BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWAL OF OUR MINDS IN THAT WE MAY BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE WILL OF GOD. HE EMPHASIZES HUMILITY AND SOBER THINKING. THIS CHAPTER ALSO TELLS US WE SHOULD BE MERCIFUL, CHEERFUL AND GIVING. WE ARE TOLD TO CLING TO WHAT IS GOOD, SHARE IN BROTHERLY LOVE AND TO REJOICE IN HOPE. ABOVE ALL MY PASTOR TEACHES US THAT WE MUST REMAIN STEADFAST IN PRAYER, BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE US AND REPAY NO ONE EVIL FOR EVIL. WE ARE OFTEN REMINDED THE IMPORTANCE OF REMAINING IN ONE ACCORD, LIVING PEACEFULLY AMONG EACH OTHER AND TO LEAVE VENGEANCE TO THE LORD. THIS CHAPTER OF THE BIBLE TELLS US HOW TO BECOME A LIVING SACRIFICE UNTO THE LORD. IT ALSO TELLS ME SO VERY MUCH MORE. THIS CHAPTER DESCRIBES MY PASTOR. HE IS A VERY HUMBLE MAN. HE TRULY LOVES THE LORD AND THE CHURCH FAMILY UNDER HIS DIRECTION. I LOVE MY PASTOR!
THIS MORNING, I AM THANKING THE LORD FOR MY PASTOR, BRO JERRY ODOM. HE TRULY IS AN AWESOME MAN OF GOD. BRO JERRY IS IN MY PRAYERS TODAY, NOT FOR ANY PARTICULAR REASON, I JUST APPRECIATE HIM AND HIS GUIDANCE. HE NEVER GAVE UP ON ME, EVEN WHEN I SEEMED HOPELESS. HE TRULY MUST SEE US ALL AS GOD SEES US, AND I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THAT.
