Momentum, we've all seen it, the ups and the downs of life. Whether its measuring the stock market, our health, or the life of a ministry. www.dictionary.com defines it as: force or speed of movement. Well, in my own ministry, I've seen the ups and the downs and I would rather have the former if it was my choice.
We all know what Jesus said about pruning. Basically He was saying that God allows us to be pruned (cut back) so that new growth can take it's place. He promised that the new growth would more than replace what was pruned. Personally I love the Spring time for the promise of newness. Respectively, in the Autumn, we see things die out and with that the reality on Winter is around the corner.
Recently the Lord has been moving in our church in a powerful way. Revelation knowledge is flowing out of my life, perhaps like never before. I am so thankful for the resources and people that have and continue to speak into my life. My mother used to ask me how did you get that sermon; I would answer her down on my knees.
Well, in the times when momentum is with us, we can like David, tell the giants of our lives, I've beaten a lion and a bear (momentum) and I will defeat you before this day is done!! And he did! While people said, Goliath is too big, David said, he's too big to miss! But in the years to come, David also knew the melancholy and lows of life: the death of a child, rebellion within his house and death seemed all around. Yet it was God who called David - "...a man after My own heart...".
Friends, isn't that what we need to be striving for? While others may be looking for their seat around God's throne, we need to be seekers of His face and His heart. That will bring momentum into our lives!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
