Delays.
Detours. Derailment. Disaster. They have a number of things in common, but I would submit that chief among them, is that they come with little, if any, advance warning. In addition, the explanation for their occurrence may take longer than we anticipate and hope. They vary in their degrees of disruption and frustration; some may be no big deal, while others feel like the end of the world. They happen regardless of person and schedule. In the most ordinary moments as well as the most extraordinary of times, delays and detours and worse can truly mess with our emotions, mindset and attitude. They skew our perspective and disrupt our thinking in ways that we aren't even aware. This is the power they hold and they capacity they have to mess with our spirits; whether it be repeatedly for a few seconds or minutes at time or consistently making larger impacts resulting in us being thrown of our game for days and weeks and longer. Meanwhile though, stands the perseverance of our faith and the remembrance of the sovereignty of God. And on that train of thought, it's important to remember that positive disruption exists. Delays, detours and more do serve important tasks and critical reminders; that not only is God in control but that He does use everything for His glory and purpose. Even if it does come at the expense of frustration, inconvenience and monetary loss. Such lessons are hard even for kids in life... and equally so, for adults in the faith. Well, on that note... shall we pray? Thanks for joining us for another #youthPastorWednesday and let's pray for pastors who are being thrown off by delays, detours and worse disruptions. May they not be dismayed, nor disheartened, but strengthened and encouraged by the power of the Holy Spirit. Pray their faith would be fortified and their resolve unwavering, as they continue to place their hope and trust in the Hand of God and His Sovereignty. May that which was meant to derail and destroy their lives and ministries serve God's design purposes to advance the kingdom of God and testify to the grace and goodness of the power of the Cross of Christ. For He knows the plans He has, For a hope and to future. To prosper. Not just life, but life abundant. For the glory of God And the cause of Jesus Christ. - PNC
