The Perfect Conditions
This morning after running five miles with rubber legs and heavy lungs, up and down hills, hot and sweaty, I hit a long flat stretch with a light breeze. Ahhhh! "Now this is the perfect condition for running," I thought. "If it could just be like this all the time, I would be happy."
And it occurred to me ... that's how we want life to be. The perfect conditions so we can be happy.
What Do I Do Next?
I’ve been asking God that question a lot lately. He clearly called me to a specific ministry. He has guided through its birth and growth. I have an overall plan and some long range goals. But on a daily basis I sometimes wonder what the exact right next step is. There are so many possibilities. So many ways to approach this. I make lists in line with my goals and work through them.
But many mornings, I just sit with God and ask Him … “What do I do next?” Then I listen, I read my Bible, I make a few notes, and I ask … “Who do I connect with today?” I listen for names, I read His Word and listen some more. Sometimes I don’t get a specific plan for that day so I proceed with my list and ask Him to invade my plans with His if mine aren’t right.
