Over Burdened
by Peter Lewis
Over Burdened and surprised? Did the king of glory not say it would be so? I repeat the words of the one who knows all things, "many are called few are chosen."
The question was asked, Peter do you love me? Peter do you love me? Peter do you love me? THEN FEED MY SHEEP.
Many are called few are chosen. I wondered what that meant and so I decided not to think what would Jesus do but to do what Jesus would did. Looked up and asked my father the all-knowing master, creator maker of all things and I asked why? I saw little children being called out to play, yes they came from near and far, and they all were called out to play a game. They had games and goals and most all of them were able to meet their gains and goals but oh the few that were endowed by God yes they are the ones I saw in uniforms like the Lakers, The Yankees, The Red Wings, The Cowboys the Olympics, yes the chosen, played like all the other kids but there was something different. I am told they were the ones that allowed the virtue of God to be dominant in their gifts, the virtue of the one who says he rains on the just and rains on the unjust, the one who not only sees us as we are but see what we can be the one who giveth gifts without repentance. Over Burdened you say, dare you question the King of Glory the one who said the Harvest is ripe but the laborers are few? Did he not say pray to the lord of the Harvest to send more laborers into the field? I say this to our over burdened leaders of the church, are we not part of the army of God? Is it not written that he teached our hands to War? Did he not say come to me all those who are burdened and heavy ladened and I will give you rest? Does he not command us to rest in his faithfulness? I say to the overburden of the church let us all find a way to hear our God, for I too am tired. Did he not say he calls on the young because they are strong, oh but he also said they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, yes to mount on the wings of eagles to run and not be weary, to walk and not faint? I say to you leaders of God FEED MY SHEEP teach us how to wait on God, I beg of you teach us so that we all can be good soldiers. Do you not watch the television and see the greatest artist perform and do we not judge them because they are not in the faith, can we not see with the eyes of God and use those who have the talents required to run our churches we deemed them of the world and not let them show us what GOD yes GOD has shown them. I do not wish to speak of the adversary for he has no place in the House of God or does he? Hum, I say this he knows how to use those talents, even though they are used by him does not the King of glory love them, feed them, give them power to make wealth? I beg of you leaders of the Church call for the eyes of God yes the eyes that saw a wretch like Saul and created Paul oh yes that person who tried to destroy the body of Christ. You call on those in the Church did you not read the words of David who declared the ones who prayed with him, the ones he worshiped with were the ones who wanted his destruction? Do we not read those words? I say as King Darius who Commanded GOD by telling Daniel YOUR GOD WILL PROTECT YOU.
I do not know the answer but I see the answer as plain as day. Use what God Has given to you; does he not use the evil man for the evil day? I say to you oh Leaders of God Listen to the king of glory stop putting your trust in man. I beg of you teach us the sheep how to wait in God, may be we should be like a waiter and wipe the feet of God as he comes through the doors of our lives, or maybe we should do as Jesus said and thank him for writing our names in the book of life. Many are called few are chosen, I recall reading about the boy king yes the one who had mighty brothers, yes the little Sheppard boy who killed a lion and a bear and went on the KILL A MIGHTY GIANT. Many are called few are chosen those words mean something they were not written from the heart of man but from the King of Glory WHO IS THE KING OF GLORY?
Look to your assets be they of the church be they of the world, let God tell who the ones who are really their to help you, Let God be the Judge and rest in his Faithfulness.
Teach us to wait on God, then maybe all of our strength will be renewed we will all mount on the wings of eagles run and not be weary walk and not faint.
Over BURDENED? Is that not the way of things? Remember the words that came from the one who created the heavens and the earth the one who makes the sun rise in the east and set in the west, the one who created the moon and the stars the one who SAID light be and Light WAS! Yes he said the harvest is ripe and the laborers are few.
