S- “Paul, an apostle- sent not from men not by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead.” Galatians 1.1
O- As I did my reading today in the book of Galatians, I was struck by the opening line of the letter. Paul was sent by Jesus Christ, not by men nor by man. What a powerful statement that Paul makes. Paul recognized who he served, who equipped him, and who sent him into the world. Paul “was on a mission from God!” And God sent him.
A- So often, I am overwhelmed and struggle to make headway in life. With 5 children and 1 on the way (by the way- I know the gender), life is very busy. I need to remember that it is Jesus Christ who has sent me into the world. Just like Paul, I, too, am on a mission from God. And God is sending me!
P- Lord Jesus, thank you for considering me to be a part of your plan in this world. Thank you for sending me to Lake Mills and the surrounding communities. I pray that I will fulfill your mission faithfully and honorably. Amen

Thanks for this message. It really made me think
I think that all to often we get wrapped up in life's everyday schedules that we forget who sent us here and why. With the a little persistence and discipline everyday this reminder of how and why we are living will help the struggles of many people.
