Ready.... Or Not?
"His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’" ~ Matthew 25:21
My Pastor always says that faith is not about how hard you believe something, it's about how long you believe it.
So, when God tests us in the small things in preparation for something bigger, we're often ready for the bigger thing before God gives it to us.
The question is, not whether you're willing to do the small things. The question is, how long are you willing to do them?
You might be ready but God is testing your patience and your willingness to endure (Galatians 6:9).
Endure to the end!
God bless,
J.W.

Servanthood Series - Part II - Who's The Boss?

In order to lead, you first have to be able to learn how to follow.
There are certain things that God wants to teach you as you serve another.
So, while you may not like your boss, while you may think he or she is underqualified or incompetent, God has placed you under that person for a reason.
Accept it and figure out what God is trying to teach you.
It may just be that God is teaching you what not to do when he places you in a position of leadership.
God bless,
J.W.
