Who Is In Charge of Your Projects?

Submitted by James Higginbotham on April 6, 2009 – 5:49 amNo Comment

Projects are necessary to make church happen. We have projects for everything from VBS to Fall Festivals.

During a recent Bible study, someone in my group asked, “Is your project in charge of you, or is God in charge of your project?”

What a great question! The difference can be vast:

  • When the project is in charge, the blessing comes in the boasting
  • When the project is in charge, people matter less than the outcome
  • When the project is in charge, doing what is right matters less than just doing.
  • When God is in charge of your project, the blessing comes in the seeking
  • When God is in charge of your project, people become the most important
  • When God is in charge of your project, doing what is right is the only option

Consider every project you are involved or planning and ask, “Who is in charge of this project?”
