OUR PASTOR NEVER STOPS

Scripture: 2 Timothy 5-7 “But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.  For I am ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:”

    Someone wrote this several years ago and it’s still good.  “Occasionally someone will say, “Our pastor never stops to visit in our home.”  If the pastor never stops at your home, you probably should thank God.  It means death has not struck, that no serious illness has laid you low, or that the surgeon’s knife had not been necessary, or that you have had no serious family problems or that you are not a spiritually delinquent member.  As a rule, your pastor does not have time for “social calls.”  It is not that he would not enjoy doing so, it is simply a matter of priorities . . . putting first things first.  Your pastor does not have time to do everything he would like to do.
However, you may be sure of this: your pastor is willing to come to the hospital or your home, the jail, the street corner, or anywhere at any hour of the day, or night when he is needed.  Call him if you need him.  Otherwise he will not know of your need until it is too late. For the moment, thank God you have not needed him.  One day you will need him and he will be there when you call.  Now he is visiting someone else who does need him.”  
     Remember that most people at the end of the day, go home from their job, but the pastor work is never done.  There is always some soul that requires attention. A good pastor is hard to find, but they are out there and their getting the job done for the glory of God. Pray for you pastor and tell him ever chance you get what a good job he is doing!  Hebrews 13 verse 7 says, “Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.”
