leadership
The journey to our Promised land is rarely what we expect. We dream of success, promotion, and breakthrough, but when God begins the preparation process through hardship, we often resist the very thing that He uses to develop us. Sister, if you're in a crushing season right now, know that God is not punishing you—He's preparing you. Every pressure point has a purpose.
You feel you’ve arrived. Your obedience to God has brought you to be famous in the eyes of men. If God has given you victories and conquer your battles for you, keep giving the glory to Him. You never become too successful to talk to God. You never become too prominent to surrender to God…
I prayed to God to surround me with people who can hold my hand as I lift up my staff as Moses did for the Israelites in battle. I asked the Lord three times for Him to remove the thorn in my flesh. Yet He chose not to—and said, “My grace is sufficient, for My power is made perfect in your weakness.” So He often just gave me the gift of Himself.
The higher the climb, the greater the dependence, and the greater the discipline.
Leadership is scary. How freeing then, that in our fears, all God calls us is to be obedient and attentive as He lead us into the good future He has for us (Jer 29:11).
