There are some days when ministry – the vocational type – tips various balance points in the minister’s life.
Today I was a little late to arise. I felt the need to rejuvenate so I wasn’t up until shortly after 8:00. I only had to brush up on my sermon, along with attending a funeral.
Until I found that one of my parishioners was in the hospital. And another parishioner, whom I had not spent time with for some time, invited me out to lunch. As the afternoon completed, I found that I was energized by Jesus. Not a bad thing.
For all the best plans, sometimes there are other plans. And I need to be ready to flow with where God is headed.
Interesting that a pastor has his day almost planned for him !! Must be great to be so “adjustable” to the happenings of the day !
