I notice myself in these seasons where one specific conviction, change or lesson seems to come up over and over again, louder than other ones. But it tends to creep in a whispers, ironically. Whether it is the message I am gleaning from my quiet time (right now I am stuck on Matthew 25:14 - 30), sentences that jump off a page in a book or physical and tangible "practice" in the real world; one specific thing tends to be a focus of my learning.
I can't say for sure, I never try to speculate what God is saying or doing, but sometimes it seems He is prepping me for my next season of difficulty or tribulation.
So, drum roll please... the current one is perseverance. The "P" word has come up in dreams, books, scripture, conversation, prayer, coaching and in general in my life as of late. This one has been a go-to lesson a lot since I became a Christian, but it has circled back around, again.
You may see the glaringly obvious - my "new" venture into writing - but I don't want to be narrow-minded enough to think that that is the only area in which I will need perseverance. So, my friends, hang on, because if you're attached to me in the least bit, we may all be in for a ride!
Prayerfully and humbly, I will be fighting through this season with perseverance; may the whispers be enough to grow my faith, sharpen my discipline, deepen my friendships and strengthen my character. Be blessed!
