Tension in serving
March 27, 2019
Do you feel a tension between what you want to accomplish, feel you should be achieving, and your reality today? Helen Roseveare did as a doctor in Congo treating malaria by symptoms rather than lab tests, operating with no training as a surgeon, and making bricks some days rather than seeing patients. She wanted to do her best, and be the best. Yet, God called her to Africa where that was not possible in the view of some.
Let’s shift perspectives. I Corinthians 12:12—22 We are a body, all parts important regardless of function.
Making bricks, her necessary assignment at times, is as God honoring as practicing medicine. God has no hierarchy of value of tasks.
