Scripture Of The Day
"If you will only obey me, you will have plenty to eat." Isaiah 1:19 NLT
By Cheryl Henderson (Excerpts From Jentezen Franklin)
I love this story from Pastor Jentezen. A group of businessmen went to a remote mountain retreat for a weekend of leadership training. Expecting graphs, statistics, and pep talks, they were blown away when their boss, Mr. Clarkson, asked them to trade their notebooks for shovels.
“ I want you to dig a ditch two feet wide and ten inches deep around the perimeter of my cabin, “ he said, and disappeared inside. At first, nobody said anything. But soon their silence turned into questioning. Then they started arguing about nine inches being close enough to ten, and complaining about having risen to the top of the corporate ladder only to be forced to do manual labor.
Finally, Bill, a newcomer to the group, turned to the others and said, “Who cares why he told us to do it, let’s just do it.” With those words, the cabin door opened, and the boss reappeared. “Gentleman,” he said, as he grabbed Bill’s hand, “I’d like you to meet your new president.” There are three things you can learn from this story.
1. When God doesn’t explain something, it’s because you don’t need the details.
2. When He doesn’t speak, it’s because He’s working things out.
3. When He tests you on one level, it’s because He’s getting ready to take you to the next. So don’t question Him, just obey Him!
