It is so easy to get caught up in doing things our way, rather than God's. As I read this verse last week, it made me think about my priorities and God.(but not in that order either)!
Too often in the past, I have found myself running ahead of God. Then I wonder why I got myself in so much trouble because my strength fails, or I can't seem to stay focus, or my spiritual barometer is running on empty.
Over the next season of ministry, I want to make it my goal to pray more, listen to God's heart and walk by Jesus side. Life is so much more less complex when I do this. Too often it is easy to fall into the trap of doing things my way rather than God's.
So, my encouragement to you today is simple...let's pray through everything we adventure out as a church and watch God move. Like you, I long for more of God in my life and desire nothing less than his perfect timing and will.
Who knows where we may be in another year, but if God is by our sides, I guess that is really all that matters.
Make sense?
