As a leader/pastor we seek God's direction. God will communicate with us where He is leading us. Our problem sometimes is that rather than accepting His direction one step at a time we would really like the whole journey mapped out. But that is not the way God works most of the time.
The Lord had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you." (Genesis 12.1)
Maybe I'm alone in this but I find my jumping ahead of God. I see where He may be leading and I begin to wonder what's the big picture, "where might this lead?" God doesn't give us the big picture because He wants us to just take a step. We need to find satisfaction in the step before we can find satisfaction in the journey. I read this morning a thought that was profound. When we are always looking ahead we miss the joy, blessing and excitement of the step where God has us right now.
So let me encourage you pastor just enjoy the moment where God has you right now and don't get ahead of Him. don't miss His blessings today because you are looking to see what His blessing may be tomorrow!
