Quotable Tuesday
Today I have another quote from the Global Leadership Summit that impacted me. This one is from Christine Caine. She had a lot of great things to say, but one that stuck out to me was this one:
“Many church leaders spend a lot of time praying for a miracle but will not step into the place where miracles happen.”
As I look back at my life and ministry, I can see times that I longed for God to move in a big, even miraculous way. Now that I am on this side of it, I can also see that there were times that God was already working, where He was ready to do something big in my life or the life of my church, and all I (or we) had to do was step “out of the boat” for the movement of God to happen. My own faith, or I should say, lack of faith, can be the reason why God at times seems to hold back the miraculous. He wants to move in big ways… He wants to show Himself strong in my life, and in the life of His church. But until we step out, in faith, where the miracles can happen, we will never see them happen.
God, help me to step out!
