Lectio Divina: Psalm 127:5

 14Jul10

Silence: Tomatoes grow quietly; their quality makes no noise.

Prayer: May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in Your sight Oh Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Meditatio: A house cannot be built without a plan.  The builders have to know the plan.

Lectio: Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.  They will not be put to shame when they content with their enemies in the gate. ~ Psalm 127:5

Contemplatio: Making disciples at Knob Hill fills a quiver.

Oratio: Growing a church brings conflict.  I am meeting a member tonight in response to a 500+ word emailed rant.  She she doesn't think I'm paying enough attention to the 30 members at the church because I'm distracted by non-church members.  An elder statesman of the congregation will be meeting with us.  The plan is to respond to her questions and articulate the plan for church growth.  I have arrows in hand because God has revealed a plan to make disciples.

Incarnatio: Fast, pray, work and rest before meeting _______ tonight.  Include in the meeting package: a map of Knob Hill Apartments in Okemos, markers for converts / Bible studies, members, visitors and partners.  Continue pursuing the vision as quietly as a tomato.
