Day 8
August 8, 2011
Today is a Monday....if I had to list the days of the week in order of preference, Monday would be number seven. However, today hasn't been bad at all. Being able to wrap up a "ministry day" at 5pm is wonderful - especially, when not too long ago - I found myself still at the office until midnight. Shutting down at 5pm leaves several good, quality hours full of opportunity.
In fact, during those hours between 5 and midnight today, there were two meaningful phone calls (very odd for phone calls to be significant two days in a row.) Additionally, there was time for reading, reflection and research. Granted, I probably allowed "google" to occupy more time than was optimal.
When something is weighing on my mind: Too often, my default is to study and determine every possible direction a particular catalyst may lead. Too often, these possibilities become bigger in my mind that they need to be. Too often, more time is spent learning and understanding possible eventualities than praying about them. Ironically, the outcomes will remain the same regardless of my understanding or knowledge - yet, outcomes can be vastly impacted through the power of prayer.
So, beyond being thankful for meaningful, Monday evening phone chats - I'm infinitely grateful for a significant reminder today. A reminder that our God is sovereign and no matter what's coming next - HE is in control. That's a point we should all be grateful for.
"Be Still and know that He is God" - not "fret and Google."
