Our focus for October is: Clergy and Pastor Appreciation Month, Columbus Day, Halloween, Wisdom.
"Call unto Me, and I will answer you,
and show you great and might things,
which you did not know."
Jeremiah 33:3
During the month of October congregations around the world give honor to those who have faithfully sought the Lord for wisdom into the scriptures. In our imagination, we picture them having a direct line to God who gives them answers to anything they ask.
We expect that they have spent countless hours before God's throne seeking wisdom and counsel into each pressing sermon and message they are to convey to their flock. Our hope is that they would gain insight and be shown great and mighty things that they did not know concerning the Word.
It is true that we take comfort in knowing our spirituals leaders hear from God, but what about those who are not in the clergy or ministry? What about our political leaders, those in business, those who teach our children and those who are in search for better things beyond what we can imagine?
For years I have expressed the importance of praying for those who seek the will of God in all aspects of life and how they will affect and effect the world. I have often asked this question, "What if Columbus did not go?" His life is an example of what God is willing to share with His children if we only dare to ask Him to reveal the wisdom of Heaven to those who call on Him in prayer.
As were celebrate and honor the faithfulness of our spiritual leaders, besides the pulpit, let us also give thanks to those who have changed the lives of others throughout the generations spiritually in their desire to serve God.
