"We're Handling Dynamite!"

Peter Mead has a wonderful blog for preachers, and much of what he offers there is valuable for teachers of the Word in any setting. Here's an excerpt from a recent post about the 'let-down' we sometimes experience even though we should have great expectations:

"It is easy to let the normal-ness of ministry diminish our sense of
expectation. It is as if we don’t really expect people to be transformed
or the Spirit of God to be at work. It is understandable, but it is
wrong. As Haddon Robinson has put it, “we’re handling dynamite, and we
didn’t expect it to explode!” The Spirit of God is at work, the Word of
God is powerful, and whether we see it or not, we should prepare and pray with
great expectation."

And we should be amazed! What a ministry! What a privilege! May the Lord bless your teaching ministry today, dear friends.
