The Obvious is Often Forgotten






I walked out of the office today to see a delivery of several boxes. When I say several I mean upwards of twenty or so! We are talking stacks with more than six or seven in each stack. the stacks were so high I couldn't see the top of each stack and I am 6'4" so they were piled up!

ON the bottom of one of the stacks I saw a box with a sticker that said "Fragile xxxxxx Do Not Stack." As you can see in the pic above there it is! Clear as day! Bright and Orange!

I found it so hilarious and had to pull out my phone to take this shot only to be caught by one of the delivery guys walking up with a dolly, my cue to exit the scene!

As Kim and I endeavor to start a new campus for Grace and then seek to pastor that campus with everything that is entailed in that I am ever reminded to look to the One who "holds all things together"He says that "the steps of a righteous man are ordained by the Lord." Psalm 37:23

It's my desire to not only be righteous before the Lord but to lead others to do the same. If we are to be successful in creating and pastoring  a satellite campus, and success is measured by creating disciples of Christ, it will only happen as I follow the steps God has laid before me to take.

I mustn't forget the obvious next step. I mustn't look beyond the next step! He will guide me one step at a time if I will only pay attention and not try and get ahead of God!

Please be praying that this will be ever present on my mind! That God will make each step very clear!

Ask God what the next step is in your life! Pause and look and listen! Let's make sure we aren't overlooking or forgetting the obvious!
