TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - NOVEMBER 10, 2021
Wednesday, November 10, 2021 at 12:11PM Harvest Focus
Today is November 10, 2021
Welcome to your mid-week!
In one way, Proverbs 14:4 is in response to farmers who were tired of cleaning up after the oxen.
"If only there were no oxen, then this manger would stay clean!"
However, the wisdom of Proverbs 14:4 is to focus on the abundant harvest and not on the mess of the oxen.
Sometimes manure is needed for a harvest. Sometimes frustration is needed for growth. Sometimes unanswered prayers are needed to complete God's mission.
With Thanksgiving on its way, Proverbs 14:4 is a reminder to stop complaining, to take off those poop stained glasses and to put on the glasses of the Lord. For, from the strength of an ox comes an abundant harvest.
God's blessing upon you as meditate on complaining and the perspective of God, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
