process
Posted in: Get Naked, blind introspect, growimagine, you’re tending sheep, your brothers in a line up as an old dude with a horn of oil examines each of the brothers only to have not found the next king of isreal…
now imagine, you smell like sheep, your tired & you’re called to this posthumous line up. the old guy comes to you and says you are the next King of isreal?
what the heck??
and for several years after this proclimation you are still not king, yet you serve the king.
you defeat a giant and save your country, the people love you, yet you’re still NOT king!!
here’s my point, David, like Jeremiah & many others before & after him, there WAS A PROCESS!!
we cannot, as much as I want to, skip through the process. we cannot select what parts we want to go through and which we don’t.
process hurts, it’s uncomfortable & often it is never as attractive as the vision or finish line, but we MUST endure… we MUST walk through the fire… we MUST learn about ourselves… we MUST not abort the process!!

Time is the element of ministry that people like to overlook. 40 years for Moses and Joshua before they entered into the calling. 13 years for David. Between 9-13 years for Paul. Everybody (every believer) has to go through the wilderness in order to get to the promised land.
J, I couldn’t agree with you more!! Jesus lived, learned, worked, sat at His Fathers feet for 30 years!! He knew the whole time who He was & what He was to do!!! We quibble because for a year or two we can’t be in the spotlight!! It’s about Motive!! You mentioned Moses, he hung out in the wilderness & only got a view of the promiseland!!! Which one of us, would be willing to do that???
