Stress
As I think it through, today may have been the most collectively stressful days in my officership. I'm not complaining...quite the opposite. I am rejoicing. For most of my ministry life, I've learned that when the pressure mounts and includes negatively fed matters from the enemy, I am on the verge of spiritual victory.
It really is a blessing of faith in Christ that stabilizes me in the worst of attacks. He is always faithful.
I mention this not for sympathy or even empathy. It is to recognize the blessings of God in the realities of ministry in the 21st century. We do not live in an ivory tower, nor does ministry exempt one from attack.
Tonight I rejoice. Prayers are welcomed.
James 1:2-3 (MSG)
Jas 1:2 "Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. 3 You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors."
