Unproductive

Sometimes, I get frustrated when something that I am trying to do is just not working. Perhaps I didn’t plan well. Maybe I didn’t have the proper tools. Sometimes, I just don’t know how to do the task. In any case, it’s true that I am not equipped to do the job at the time.

Psalm 127:1 says, “Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.” No matter what endeavor we undertake, unless we trust in the Lord’s power and wisdom, we will not bear good fruit. We should wait upon His understanding and strength to be properly equipped to undertake the tasks before us.  Then, we will be fruitful and bring Him glory.

After 16 years of vocational ministry, God has called me to a simpler ministry. Now I just proclaim His truth simply to those who are open to hear it. God is speaking through His Word and His creation.
