"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." - Romans 12:12 In my life, I have realized that I go through different seasons. Some seasons I will be going and going and going and some seasons I will have nothing to do. Through each of these seasons I have noticed that I am always stressed out. Through either the chaos or the calm I never root myself in the one thing that never wavers, never leaves, and never moves, Jesus. This past year, I feel like I am in a constant state of busy. I was working three jobs, then decided to focus on one job and now I am working two jobs. Everything seemed to be going my way. I found joy in chaos because I was too busy to think of what was going wrong. Even though the surface and the outside of my life looked like I had everything going smoothly, stress and loss of control were creeping through the cracks.
Part of growing in our relationship with the Lord comes moments of recognition. The Holy Spirit opens our eyes to various truths as we draw closer in relationship with God. One of the recognitions in this season of my life is who do I know God to be? Is my knowledge and relationship with God something that I have put together from a conglomeration of ideas, feelings, initiatives, other people's experiences, books etc. Or is it based on searching for and finding the Lord in my pursuit of knowing him? Who he is! The presence of God is where we enter into relationship with him. The Hebrew word for presence is face. God’s Presence – Panah פנה Pei Nun Hei How about meditating on this...when we are in God's presence, we are having a face-to-face conversation with Almighty God. A relationship with God. Powerful is it not? Not through someone else but through Him! I would gather that most of our understanding of God comes from outside influences and little on our own intimacy with Him personally. It is humbling to acknowledge that many of my "understandings" have been from outside influences. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for helping in my pursuit of knowing God intimately and personally. To be seen and known by my creator is the most intimate and fulfilling part of our existence. My desire is to surrender all things for more of just God. What gets in the way of truly surrendering so that I can enter His presence and have a face-to-face conversation? Let's surrender those things so that we can enter into His presence! This is our hearts' desire: more of Him from my seeking, and meditating, from reading His word and praying, to journaling and fasting. Jeremiah is told that when he seeks God, God will be found if we seek him with our whole hearts. Jeremiah 29: 11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord." I want to find the Lord every single day, I want to dwell in His presence, פנה! May we hunger for intimacy with God. May we not settle for other people's stories but desire our own stories with God intimately and personally. I pray that as we seek the Lord and know him, He will transform everything about us. I surrender all! All to Jesus, I surrender I surrender all!
It’s been fifteen years since the three of us have been in the same place together. What a gift it was to see Jake (left) and Paul (center) during our recent family trip to Ohio. Whenever I think about Engaging, Equipping and Empowering people for the work of the ministry, whenever I think about the difficult work of discipleship, these are the two guys I think about first! Maybe you’ve read Proverbs 27:17, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” This process requires heat and pressure and that’s what God did in my life with these guys. God turned up the heat on me and applied pressure to me in the best sense of the word. All for the purpose of making me into the man I was created to be. Here’s the quick version of the “long haul” work God began that night. I had recruited Jake and Paul to be in a discipleship group with me during my first pastoral job. After a few meetings, I was convinced that I needed to cancel our future times together. I didn’t think it was going as prescribed and wanted to salvage our friendship for the future. On the drive there, God impressed on me that I should open up to my friends and be honest about the hurts, hangups and habits in my life. It was an uncomfortable twenty minutes for me, but it was a clear moment of literally feeling the conviction of the Holy Spirit in my life. I walked into the room scared to death! What would these guys think about me when I was done? I had never told anyone everything about me. What happened is something that we talked about even after fifteen years of being apart. God began a transformation in each one of us that night! Openness and vulnerability led to openness and vulnerability which led to openness and vulnerability. Stepping into the uncomfortable place God was calling me too, destroyed any and all barriers to our conversations from that day forward. In the freedom of the forgiveness of Christ and empowered by God’s Spirit, we began to hold each other accountable to living out our faith in ways that honored God and blessed others. Fifteen years later, each of us continues to live into that same space with others. Each of us more equipped than we would’ve ever been, had I taken the easy road and simply canceled our time together. Keep pressing on friends!
