Agendas (Mine or His?)
"Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act." Psalm 37:7
We work hard on our agendas. Our agendas may even seem like worthy plans. Working hard on a relationship, career, even a ministry. And maybe we see some results. But if it is our agenda, all that hard work produces is frustration, stress, and exhaustion. We have to stop striving in our own strength and toward our own agenda and remember - what can we do apart from him? Nothing!
God has a plan for our lives. Let's choose His agenda. Let's choose his strength, not our own ability. Stop struggling. Be still. Let go of our own ambitions and desire to do things our own way. Abide in Jesus. God sees the big picture, we only see pieces of it. He is worthy of our trust. Let's put our faith in him. Let's believe that even if things are tough or uncomfortable in this moment, he is leading us on a path to great and wonderful things.
And we'll discover very quickly,
"God's agenda is lining up to be a little bigger than mine."

Really good - we were challenged Wed. nite to think about our "focus" -- if it was inward or outward. My focus lately has been a bit self consumed. Mainly b/c of my agenda.
Strange how someone else can write exactly what you need to hear and just suddenly show the answer to a prayer with a click to a "favorite"
Good I must give leave to enter you should be right like at all times
