Missionary evangelist Daniel Kolenda writes: \u2018We can easily become frustrated if we don\u2019t understand that just as there are times and seasons in nature, there are also times and seasons in the process of fulfilling God\u2019s will… Years ago a group of senior missionaries came together to discuss life principles they\u2019d discovered\u2026their purpose was to share this wealth of experience with succeeding generations\u2026 They\u2019d all encountered common stages of transition in their ministries, and collectively they identified a five-step cyclical process God had taken them through.\u2019 Bottom line: timing is all-important! <\/p>\n
When executives at Decca Records told the Beatles, \u2018Groups with guitars are on the way out,\u2019 they signed up with EMI\u2014and the rest is history! Don\u2019t miss the lesson here. Each of us has been placed on earth as a caretaker of God\u2019s business. And that\u2019s true whether you are a judge or a cleaner. You\u2019ve been given an allotment of life and charged with the responsibility of taking care of it, investing it, increasing it, and presenting it back to God. Simply saying, \u2018I was afraid of failing,\u2019 or \u2018I was worried about being criticised,\u2019 or \u2018I didn\u2019t think I was good enough,\u2019 won\u2019t work. <\/p>\n
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, \u2018Excuses always replace progress.\u2019 God will accept your trials and errors, but He won\u2019t accept your excuses for not having tried. So pray, accept responsibility, and step out in faith. You may fail many times on your way to success, but if you keep trying and trusting God, you\u2019ll eventually succeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
