Don’t buy into it.

 

The hustle and bustle of ministry marketing and content creating.

 

The never-ending striving for success.

 

It might be the world’s way, but it is not the way of the Kingdom.

 

Seek first the Kingdom and His righteousness.

 

This is your first duty, and the supernatural Holy Spirit’s job is to lead you where He is taking you, which is not always entirely where you actually want to go.

 

The clamoring must end, Church.

 

The social sound bites are mere shallow attempts for us to seem spiritual when we are anything but.

 

The deep things of God are found in His presence, not in your presence on social media.

 

Wearing yourself out for output is not a holy way of life.

 

The secret place holds all the keys

Every map you’ll ever need

All direction the Spirit leads

Spend your time at His feet.

 

The way of this world is but a thief

Robbing you of Heaven’s peace

Business cards He does not need

His perfect will He knows indeed.

 

There is nothing wrong with Spirit-led strategies, but if there is a force pushing you over the edge….it is likely not the Holy One.

 

Step back.

Breathe.

Untangle from the world and its ways.

 

Live life in the Spirit…with the Spirit…in step with the Spirit.

 

If you’re going to strive, then strive by digging deep into the Word.

 

He orders the steps of the righteous, so you can rest in His presence and plan.

 

He will ensure nothing He deems necessary goes undone.

 

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:105)
