Sometimes I think wouldn't it be great if things could just stay the same. But, within minutes, I realize how boring that would be. For many, change is an ugly, dirty word. We want what we are comfortable with and what we know. When we remain the same, there is little effort required. We simply plod along at the same pace doing the familiar. How boring!
Ministry must change! The moment we decide to remain as always, we start dying. Enthusiasm fades and attendance dwindles. It is not nearly as much fun to lead when you do the same routine each day. Change requires we dig, prepare, and think! It stretches our muscles, both physically and mentally.
As we minister to women, we must seek to move from the familiar to the unknown tomorrow. It is imperative we seek the face of God to know His plan for the ladies within our world.
Take a moment to reflect upon the last six months. Have you done something different? Have you moved beyond what people expect? If not, you are dying!
Be willing to change; not for change sake, but for the life of ministry and souls around you. It will bring new life to your motivation and you will be excited about the journey once more! Try it and see.
