Indecision

I woke up earlier than usual this morning, still feeling that nothing really stood out to write for today's post. I crawled back into bed, not wanting to exit again the warmth any time soon; still thinking and searching for what might be in store. Nothing. Ideas, but not clear direction.

No "ah ha!" moment.

How often must pastors experience the same. In sermon preparations. In teaching series. In counseling sessions and conversations for people seeking insight and wisdom. Sure they are men and women of God, but they struggle just as much as, in knowing what to say, go and do as much as my episode was for the past couple hours.

It's hard to know too, when it seems clarity escapes you, just when you should step out and trust that God is going to work the miraculous with whatever ball you have decided to run forward. It's not that there's an issue in waiting on God... but a simply dependence on God to accomplish His will as you step out in faith with whatever is in your hand, dedicated unto the Lord.

"I have nothing God. It's all on you to do as you see fit with what I have."

So, pray this #associatePastorTuesday for those pastors who find themselves at times in places of indecision. Whether at home or at church, may God grant clarity and wisdom where the two seem evasive. Pray an increase in their dependence to wait on God; not through in inactivity, but faithful service to what they know needs to be done. May God strengthen and encourage them during prolonged periods; that God would guard them from making wrong choices and decisions. Pray protection to stay within in His Will and set apart for His purposes.

Strength to rise up
Even through the fog and the storms
Used by God for His glory
For the calling is sure,
Even when the direction isn't.
