I like to think of myself as a hard-charging and energetic guy who does ministry with a passion. Believe it or not, God probably doesn’t like that much! Occassionally, He’ll even take an opportunity to remind me of as much. Several years ago I took my laptop, cellphone connection, and other various reading/working material and headed off to a two-day retreat. As is my nature, I wasn’t there twenty minutes before I had my laptop fired up and searching for a wireless connection through my cell phone. After an hour of trying to fix something that wasn’t broken, I realized I was nearly 100 miles from the nearest digital phone connection–something that would utterly paralyze me looking in on “my ministry” for nearly three days. Yea, I know… God would rather see me as a guy with a passion for Him, who uses that passion to do ministry for Him! As I returned home, I found my in basket jam-packed and the truth is I just don’t seem to be as excited to start shuffling through it–I’m still in a place where God seems to be able to speak to me more clearly. If you haven’t been “paralyzed” by God lately, maybe you should try it, too–only don’t be as reluctant as I was.
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10
