GO BEYOND WHAT IS EXPECTED

“Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. – Matthew 5:41

My wife and I were staying in a nice hotel for a special occasion.  At the pool, attendants were ready to bring us fresh towels and ice water before we even sat down. After returning from a jog, a bellman handed me a water bottle as I walked through the lobby. Over and over again, they continued to surprise us with that unexpected, extra mile service.

Extra mile service goes beyond what is expected. It’s doing over and above the bare minimum. I truly believe that any corporation, organization, or ministry that incorporates that extra mile service into their culture will have a greater impact for good.

Did you know that this idea actually originated with Jesus Christ?  Matthew records Jesus saying, “Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.” In other words, go that extra mile and do more than is required of you. At that time, Rome ruled and it was legal for any Roman soldier to ask a civilian to help them carry their armor for one mile at any time. You can imagine how much the people resented this rule, so Jesus’ teaching was a shock.  But following Jesus calls for extra mile service. It means setting aside our own ego and putting the needs of others ahead of our own. It means going the extra mile.

WHEN WE HATE TO WAIT

Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:30-31

It’s confession time – I hate to wait! I want what I want and I want it now! Waiting makes me angry, frustrated and at times even offended.  Take traffic, for instance. Traffic feels like a very personal assault against me. Don’t all those other drivers understand how important MY schedule is? How dare all these other cars slow me down when I have such important things to do. Can you relate? Maybe for you it’s being put on hold during a phone call. Or maybe your child is still stuck on the waiting list for that magnet school she has to attend. Maybe it’s a painfully slow line at your morning coffee shop.

In our fast-paced culture, waiting means losing control. Think about it. People used to farm their own food; planting a field and waiting for the crop took months. Today, we run to the nearest drive-through. Remember pen pals? People used to write letters (by hand) and then wait several days for them to be received. Today we send a text message. What about the news? From newspapers to world headlines, everything is at the push of a button – available instantly.

So, why is waiting so hard? Waiting is a very real reminder that the world does not revolve around me. Waiting messes with my plans. Waiting forces me to see and hear things that I’d rather ignore. Simply, waiting reveals that I am not in control. God, however, tells us that waiting is important. In fact, the Bible shows us that waiting is necessary and needed in our lives.

  • God uses waiting to get our attention.
  • Waiting reminds us that God is in control when I am not.
  • Waiting reveals God’s plans, not mine.
  • Waiting allows God to speak into our lives in ways we could never hear before.
  • Waiting shifts our perspective to see and experience more of God’s love and grace in our lives.

Are you hating the wait? Step back and give God your frustrations. Be honest. From the small annoyances to the heavy burdens, ask God to help you trade the hate in the wait for hope in the promises of God’s love and grace.

Taken from a sermon by George Wright, Senior Pastor, Shandon Baptist Church, Colombia, S.C.

ANGER IS A JOURNEY

Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.”

– James 1:19-20

It happens in the work place, in our families, and yes, even in “the family of faith” – our churches. Anger is a journey. It often begins with a hurt, a slight, or a simple misunderstanding. We all have our triggers. What is it that sets you off? Maybe you’ve been left out, disrespected, or unfairly criticized. Maybe it’s being blamed for someone else’s screw-up or the blatant betrayal of a trusted friend. You’re irritated. You’re frustrated. You’re angry. Left un-dealt with, that anger can grow, leading you down a path of bitterness, regret, and even broken relationships.

James teaches that controlling our anger begins with rooting ourselves in the Word of God. It’s when we align ourselves with God’s Word that guides us and shapes us, that our lives begin to line up with the character of God.  A simple tip: Listen first THEN speak. Be good listeners and slow talkers (James 1:19-20). When those feelings of anger spark, take a deep breath and count to ten before speaking. This will slow you down on the way to anger. And never, ever postpone dealing with your anger. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger and allow Satan to get a hold of another moment through your anger (Ephesians 4:26). You’ll be glad. I promise you that.

Happy October Birthday
