His grace is sufficient.
Walking Wounded: Over the last two weeks, I've watched many faithful team workers straining under sickness. Seasonal flu and cold and infections have been crudely ruthless. On any given day our team has been running on 80% of staff and many of them working sick. Some customers are understanding. Some are pressuring. Somehow, this amazing group has continued to perform for so many. It is amazing to watch and a joy to serve alongside them.
The Press: Pressing issues remind me of the sufficient empowerment of God to get the job done. Goals waiting to be met loom and ask for attention. There is sufficient empowerment and time. There is grace. A missed deadline is not the end of the opportunity.
Missed Appointment: Sure, some appointments are hard to get again. Some actions have deadlines that only come infrequently. Yet, they can be made up in different ways.
Utter Failure: Then there are utter failures. The deadline is gone and not coming back. The goal is missed and not reachable again in my lifetime. Grace apply's there also and a little mercy. There is enough forgiveness and strength in God to get back up and find a new goal to go forward. There is enough mercy to forgive myself and go again. Failure is an event not a person.
Prayer: What a wonderful Father You are. Cause the breath of Your most Holy Spirit to fill our hearts and minds. Cause the strength and endurance that carried Christ to the cross and beyond to well up inside of us. We have not yet resisted to the point of blood and giving our lives in complete sacrifice. Teach us to give our lives fully every day. Give us loving-kindness that helps us get up when we fail. Give us laughter to realize the temporary slips are just temporary. In testing moments, allow us to be fully encased in Your sufficiency.
