1 Tim 3:6
Not a
novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the
devil.
The Lord Cares About His Servants
This is one of
the things that the Lord tells us an elder/pastor should NOT be. He is not to be new in the things of the Lord
and in ministry. The Lord warns that
position without experience can cause pride.
He lets us know that pride can lift us up and makes us vulnerable for
the devil to come in and start condemning us once we find out that position is
difficult and filled with traps our adversary sets for us. We learn from this verse that the Lord has
qualifications for different things. We
learn that God knows what we can handle and what we can’t handle. We have a God who has reasons for waiting to
use us in certain ways. What a wonderful
God. He doesn’t just care about the job
getting done but He cares about those who are working for Him. I am so glad that promotion comes from the
Lord and when I am passed over for some sort of position I can trust that the
Lord has my best interest in mind.
