Zebra Ministries
Welcome to the herd!
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25

Good morning
Zebras,
I love you. Here is Daniel part
two.
Daniel 1:5b
They were to be trained for three years, and after that they were to enter the
king’s service.
Notice that
Daniel and his friends had to undergo training before they were able to enter
the king’s service. If training was
necessary to service an earthly king, shouldn’t it be more necessary to serve
the King of Kings?
Luke 6:39–40 He
also told them this parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not
both fall into a pit? A student is not
above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
Training
doesn’t necessary mean seminary or even Bible College, to me it means is a person
trained by Jesus. A person who is
excited and passionate about God. A
person who cares more about others than they do about themselves. A person who is willing to die to his own
plans and dreams and instead live for God.
A person whose life declares that they love Jesus.
Instead we look
for the best warm body we can find who is also willing to take the job because
it is so difficult to find volunteers. And
the jobs must get done…right?
Look at the
requirements Paul laid down for picking men to give daily distribution to
widows, a job we would give to anyone.
Acts 6:3
Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the
Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them.
Full of the
Spirit and wisdom…to distribute food.
A church is
only as good as the leaders. Everyone in
leadership, not just the pastor, should be someone whose faith we admire and
whose life we would be willing to emulate. God taught me that.
Love,
Jill
