YOUR PASTOR
Today's reading: Numbers 1-4

"The area in front of the Tabernacle in the east toward the sunrise was reserved for the tents of Moses and of Aaron and his sons, who had the final responsibility for the sanctuary on behalf of the people of Israel..." Numbers 3:38 NLT

Maybe you didn't care for pastor's exegesis of Scripture yesterday.

Maybe you didn't like how well, or unwell, he paired his tie to his suit to his socks. Or, gasp, that he didn't wear a suit at all!

Maybe you didn't appreciate how he ended the service, that he chose to forego a song on the set list in order to follow the Spirit's leading--or that he didn't even shake your hand after service.

Newsflash: He has a whole lot more on his plate that pleasing you!

The final responsibility of your church rests solidly and heavily on his shoulders.

The souls, the growth of souls, the comfort and care of souls God has sent to his community of believers lay in his responsible hands.

So pray for him. Pray hard for him. 

And...pray for yourself, too.
