Men of Simplicity (MOS) just launched with 120 men attending the first meeting. MOS is a massive project that takes so much organization, follow-up, and preparation. At times, the amount of work to be done can feel overwhelming. But around here, I’m learning that a task like this can be accomplished if it is done one step at a time. Our to-do list is divided and sub-divided into the many, smaller tasks that it takes to finish the main job. One of those smaller tasks by itself might seem unimportant, but unless it gets checked off, it is impossible to call the larger, main job complete.
I was thinking this week that this concept applies to our walk as believers. God’s goal for each of us is that we grow to be more and more like Christ. That is one overwhelming task! However, our Heavenly Father does not ask us to do this all at once. Rather, He calls us to go one step further each day. He asks us for one new step of obedience. One step outside of our comfort zone. One more step in the race “for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14) By themselves, these small steps may seem insignificant or unimportant. But God sees how each small step is bringing us closer to the finish line.
For me, this internship is a step in my journey to becoming who God wants me to be. I am so grateful for everyone who has supported the Simplicity Ministries® internship program and has helped to make this step possible for me.
