Unless You're The Lead Dog The Scenery Never Changes
WE MUST HAVE OUR EXPECTATIONS PROPERLY SET OR WE'RE GOING TO GET CRUSHED UNDER THEWEIGHT OF OUR EMOTIONS
Embracing Change: Trusting in God's Timing and Purpose
As Russ so succinctly said this morning, unless you're the lead dog, the scenery never changes. As remnant and as the tip of God's spiritual spear, the scenery frequently changes because He has put us out front!
In times of uncertainty and transition, it’s crucial to ground ourselves in faith and recognize the subtle shifts that occur within our spiritual journey. This post delves into the profound messages shared about navigating seasons of change, understanding God’s purpose, and the importance of maintaining hope and faith even in challenging times.
Understanding the Shift in Spiritual Seasons
As the speaker articulates, there is a palpable shift in the spiritual atmosphere of the church. This change is not merely a seasonal transition but rather an indication that we are in the midst of something significant. The winds of the Holy Spirit are blowing differently, and it’s essential to remain aware of these movements.
The speaker emphasizes the need for rest during this time, suggesting that while there will be opportunities for spiritual warfare, the current focus should be on internal reflection and preparation. Such periods of rest are crucial as they allow us to recharge and align ourselves with God’s plans.
The Reality of Expectations
With the recent political changes and the anticipation of improvement in various societal issues, it’s vital to temper our expectations. The speaker reminds us that while hope is essential, it should not be placed in human leaders or systems. Instead, our faith must remain rooted in God, who has a greater plan at work.
The analogy of dominoes illustrates this point well. Just as the falling of one domino eventually leads to the last one tipping over, there is often a delay between our prayers and visible answers. This delay can be frustrating, yet it is a part of God’s intricate timing and design.
Processing Feelings of Despair
In moments of despair, it’s easy to feel abandoned or lost. The speaker reflects on a personal experience of feeling spiritually disconnected, which highlights how we can all experience dry seasons. During these times, God often uses our struggles to draw us closer to Him.
The conversation with God serves as a reminder that He is always present, even when we feel distant. His promises remain true: He will never leave us nor forsake us. This assurance is vital as we navigate through life's ups and downs.
The Role of Prophets and Apostles
The speaker discusses the responsibilities of those called to prophetic or apostolic roles, emphasizing that their duty is to communicate God’s heart to His people. This involves addressing both the uplifting and the challenging aspects of faith, even when it contradicts what the audience may wish to hear.
It’s important for leaders to be attuned to the Spirit and to convey messages that reflect God’s intentions, even if they differ from popular sentiment. This authenticity is crucial for spiritual growth and understanding within the community.
Finding Hope in Difficult Psalms
Psalm 88, described as one of the gloomiest psalms, serves as a powerful reminder of the human experience of despair. The speaker finds hope in its verses, highlighting that even in the darkest times, we can cry out to God, who hears us.
The psalmist’s lament resonates with many who have faced trials, reminding us that expressing our feelings to God is a vital part of our faith journey. It’s okay to acknowledge our struggles while trusting that God is working behind the scenes.
The Importance of Community
The speaker emphasizes the need for community support during difficult times. It’s crucial for individuals to come together, share their experiences, and hold one another accountable. This collective strength can help us navigate through seasons of doubt and despair.
As we journey together, we must remember that we are not alone. Each person’s struggles and triumphs contribute to the overall narrative of faith within the community.
Trusting God's Plan
Ultimately, the message is one of trust. Trusting in God's timing and purpose is essential, especially when the path ahead seems unclear. The speaker encourages us to remain steadfast in our faith, knowing that God has a plan for each of us, even when we cannot see it.
As we move forward, let us keep our eyes fixed on God and His promises, embracing the changes and challenges that come our way. With every step, we can confidently declare that God is with us, guiding us through every season of life.
Conclusion: A Call to Action
In closing, we are reminded to embrace the changes in our lives and to trust in God’s perfect timing. Let us commit to supporting one another, seeking God’s guidance, and remaining hopeful as we navigate the complexities of life together.
As the speaker has shared, we are the tip of the spear, called to lead and navigate through these unprecedented times. Let us step boldly into the future, knowing that God is watching over us and will fulfill His promises.
