Revitalize Your Church

A webinar devotional teaching I shared with a group of pastors from the Indiana South District of the Wesleyan Church.  I thought it might be an encouoragement to you.

Sheltering at home, I am reminded of Thomas Merton's "Thoughts in Solitude": My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, And the fact that I think that I am following your will Does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road Though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always Though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, For you are ever with me, And you will never leave me to face my perils alone. Amen
