Interesting Thought

“When we encounter a problem at work or in our ministry, we have been trained to look for a strategy with which to solve it. But what if God doesn’t want us to solve the problem at hand? What if God wants us to live with the problem for awhile? What if God is planning to use that problem to help us see the world in a new way? What if God wants us to struggle in the tension so that we can change and grow? In that case deploying a strategy and attempting to solve our problems quickly would actually work against God’s purposes.”
