DEVOTION: Psalm 16 English Standard Version (ESV)

You Will Not Abandon My Soul

A Miktam^[a] of David.

16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
² I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord;
    I have no good apart from you."

³ As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
    in whom is all my delight.^[b]

⁴ The sorrows of those who run after^[c] another god shall multiply;
    their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
    or take their names on my lips.

⁵ The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
    you hold my lot.
⁶ The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

⁷ I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
    in the night also my heart instructs me.^[d]
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
    because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being^[e] rejoices;
    my flesh also dwells secure.
¹⁰ For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
    or let your holy one see corruption.^[f]

¹¹ You make known to me the path of life;
    in your presence there is fullness of joy;
    at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

PUBLISHED BY THE MISSOURI DISTRICT OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCH—MISSOURI SYNOD November 9, 2018 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 In this issue: Lutheran Development Group Transforms Buildings into Homes The Dual Nature of Life as a Pastor Events and Announcements   We're pleased to publish the proceedings for the 2018 convention. Click here to download the 2018 Missouri District Convention Proceedings. Lutheran Development Group Transforms Buildings into Homes We've all seen dilapidated buildings, with their broken windows and crumbling facades. For some, these structures are simply part of a backdrop. They're often referred to as "vacant properties," or "blight." However, many struggling people in cities across our country have another word for it. Home. While there are some affordable housing options in St. Louis, the need far outweighs availability. Building by building, Lutheran Development Group (LDG) is creating a new choice for people stuck between unaffordable, luxurious renovations and scraping by in subpar living conditions. Chris Shearman, founder and Executive Director of LDG, acknowledges that even as more apartments open, there are many more people without access to safe housing. Chris has seen families living in homes with walls falling off or without floors. People without good credit or with an eviction history must often settle, often with hazardous spaces or uncaring landlords. The impact spreads from the tenants to the community, as buildings in disrepair contribute to blight and other neighborhood issues.   SERIVCE OPPORTUNITY: If you'd like to help address this issue by rehabbing a building with Laborers for Christ, contact LCEF Ministry Support today at (314) 855-6444 or ministry.support@LCEF.org. How Serving the Community Changed the Course of Chris Shearman's Career Not too long ago, Chris thought he wanted to go to law school. His wife, meanwhile, was opening a neighborhood café. After working for a for-profit developer downtown, he helped her manage her café and became more involved with neighborhood initiatives.    The Dual Nature of Life as a Pastor by Rev. Dr. Darrell Zimmerman, Chairman, Ministerial Health Committee Explain this for me, if you can. According to research from the Barna Group (Pastors: 2018) and others who dig deep into what's going on with clergy, pastors have one of the highest rates of satisfaction among all professions, but also report the greatest amount of stress related problems. Huh? If you have a job that causes so much anxiety, why do you love it so much?  Explain that! Pastors report levels of stress related illness at rates significantly higher than the national average. They also report mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, relational issues such as not enough time with spouse and children and financial stress way out of line with their level of education and hours of work, all directly related to their calling. So why do Pastors consistently say they love their work and find it so rewarding? I'm sure you already know. Dr. Walther suggested that the angels, if capable of it, would be jealous of all who get to share the love of Jesus with those who don't know Him (see the 27th Evening Lecture). The issue here is whether or not the Pastor is aware of the toll that the ministry lifestyle can take on his health, his family life, his emotions, his finances and even his spiritual life if he's not attentive to his own personal, human (very human) needs. Not long ago, a young pastor shared with me his crazy schedule and asked me if I thought he was trying to do too much.  I suggested he ask his wife. I sometimes wonder how that conversation went. In the movie "A League of Their Own," manager Tom Hanks asked Geena Davis, the star catcher, why she was quitting the baseball team. She said, "It just got too hard." With his teeth clenched together, Hanks looked her in the eye and said in a low, but very stern voice, "It's supposed to be hard.  If it wasn't hard anybody could do it.  It's the hard that makes it great." I often think that's a pretty good description of ministry. Ballplayers learn how to take care of themselves so that they'll be at their best on the playing field.  It works that way in ministry, too. It's hard, but it's great. We need you on the team and we want you at your best.  Keep the satisfaction high, but work on lowering the stress. Remember that self-care is not selfish, it's just good stewardship. God bless you in your continued service in the Lord's kingdom. Announcements & Other News Limited Time: 40-Month Note at 4%!
