“No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the Lord.”
Proverbs 21:30
We like to make plans. Our schedules are always filled with upcoming events, birthday parties, soccer games, etc. We like to do the same thing when it comes to our spiritual lives, always chasing the next big thing and pursuing dreams that perhaps aren’t meant to be.
No plan can stand against our Lord, and we must learn the art of patience when it comes to the will of God for our lives. Do you struggle with this as much as I do? I don’t like to slow down or have curveballs thrown my way. I want to keep moving forward and to feel like I’m accomplishing something.
Patience is key, and learning to be still can benefit our ministries immensely. Being still doesn’t mean doing nothing; rather, it means to keep pressing on but not stepping outside of His will. God has called me to certain things and avenues of ministry, but they aren’t meant to be for right NOW. So I will work at what I can – teaching Sunday school, worship leading, serving the church, and being a helping hand to my pastor and his family.
Where can you serve today?
