Even Charles Spurgeon—a man called "the prince of preachers"—recognized the heavy responsibility of God's call on someone to serve as a pastor.

The best resource a pastor can tap into is prayer, and I would suggest that the first person a pastor should pray for is himself. This is where my book Amen Indeed can be a huge blessing. This is a book that helps pastors turn the Scriptures into prayer. If you are a pastor who has been wounded in your ministry work, you may also want to check out my book When Sheep Bite.

Andrew Murray claimed that a careful study of the longest chapter in the Bible is a key to unlocking the study of the rest of the Bible. Here he gives us six things to notice in Psalm 119.

I took time with my congregation to look at each 8-verse section individually, and then see how those sections amplified the entire 119th Psalm. You may want to use this series as a means of helping you study this amazing chapter.

King David composed a psalm of praise in which he expressed his desire for all nations and all people to know the King of kings personally. That is still the invitation Christians should be extending today.

There is no finish line for you while God still has you on earth. If you're still here, He's still working on you so that He can work through you. So take a deep breath. If you're still breathing, God still has a plan for you. Don't worry about the finish line (God will take care of that), but keep learning, growing, and serving all the way to the end.
