The Big Picture of Ministry

The Big Picture of Ministry

I know sometimes it is hard to see the “Big Picture” of ministry. We get so drained, frustrated, and hurt, etc. All little things have a tendency to cause us to forget to see what we are working toward. As Nehemiah and his team organized to rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, something spiritual was happening to the people. They united together for a cause (rebuilding the walls) and God was working and rebuilding the people’s hearts. Look what happened when the priest Ezra opened up the scriptures.

5 Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up. 6 Ezra praised the LORD, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, “Amen! Amen!” Then they bowed down and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. Nehemiah 8:5-6

The people stood and worshiped God!

Is that not what we pray for and work for? That is the “Big Picture”!  Lives changed and people worshiping God. I truly believe that by uniting the church (First Priority) for a cause (school evangelism), we will bring about what we all want: the big picture in lives changed and people worshiping God.

Keep on keeping on. God is at work in people’s hearts. Let us be faithful in the task He set before us.
