A Morning Thought

"I set apart this day for fasting and prayer to God for his grace and for him to prepare me for the work of the ministry.  I ask him to give me divine help and direct me in preparing for that great work and to send me into his harvest in his own time."  David Brainerd- Missionary to Native Americans- 1740

After I was saved God brought into my life a dear friend who had an incredible collection of books.  He invited me over to his home and specifically pointed me into the direction of his biography section.  You must remember I had never heard of the men and women whose stories filled those shelves.  I left there with an arm full of books.  I will always remember that summer and the wonderful stories I read of how God used those saints from the past to do a mighty work through Him.  It set a fire in my bones and kindled a spark in my heart.  As I read the true accounts throughout the Bible of how God moved in a mighty way and as I read the biographies that my friend had loaned me a question began to well up in my heart, “Why not me?”  And “What was it that God wanted to do through the life he had given me in Christ Jesus?” Remember, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10.)

David Brainerd was one of those men whose story intrigued me.  David Brainerd first and foremost had a heart for God.  There was a desire for more and more of God that reminded me of the David from the Bible.  I pray that a fuse will be lit inside of you by the above quote.  I pray that you place yourself in God's hands and right in the middle of His plan for you. You may have to spend time in a season of preparation or a time of waiting, but allow God to have full control. Trust Him and again I say trust Him.  When it is all said and done and our time here is finished the only things that will be of true importance is if we have brought glory to God and how we have served Him.

Thanks for visiting and thanks for praying,
Bro. Tracy
