Journaling Reflections 11-20
#11 Spiritual passion and maturity are my only hope - I’m too screwed, sinful, insufficient, incompetent - God really is my only hope.
#12 God’s call was so apparent throughout my life and ministry but so hard that I would question and even throw out fleeces - asking God to remove the passion or provide the resources - at times I felt like he did neither - but it drove me to him.
#13 Knowing who I am, and what God has called me to is critical to effectiveness and focus.
#14 Big things come from small obediences.
#15 Focus long enough, hard enough on something - and stuff happens.
#16 God’s will must be lived out in every single moment of life - especially the small ones. Looking for the “big” opportunities, secrets, systems, spiritual answers, etc. . . . are always a waste of time. Following God isn’t finding a “key” a “secret” a new “way” of doing things but it’s found in him and him alone. Until he is enough - nothing will be enough.
#17 Matthew 28 should never be read in isolation - but with Matthew 5-7 and Matthew 25.
#18 You can scale only as good as the team around you - and when you’re looking for team players - you can’t tell a man’s heart without time.
#19 Nations are eternal - this is why the front door is critical - God made it - he doesn’t need to be sneaked in anywhere.
#20 Inter-disciplinary reading, learning, study, living - is critical for impact and understanding because everything really is connected.
