Time Out
When something unexpected happens and it forces you to “take a time out” I think the Lord has more planned. He wants you to slow down (as He seems to speed things up!) to see the bigger picture.
When I broke my shoulder (three fractures of the scapula) during a church men’s weekend retreat, with less than a half hour to go before the entire gathering ended, it forced me to move around less and pray more.
(By the way, let it be inscribed in the scrolls…we won the “Crocker” game. Same play as baseball but using a soccer ball.)
One can pray while on the move, as the Word says to pray without ceasing, but when we rest our feet to allow our minds to catch up, that does seem to have more distinct results.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, NASB
I am grateful for the Lord’s grace and mercy in our lives. Where would we be without Him? I for one cannot imagine that.
Ahava and Shalom,
Steve Martin
