I was reflecting on these scriptures and the burden that comes along with the change associated with losing someone who is precious.
This can be in both business and our personal lives: however, what is clear is that the person’s presence had an impact on us.
At moments like these, we can search the Word of God for solid ground to stand, reflect, recalibrate and muster the courage to press forward.
Leaders find solid ground by having faith in god and his consistency:
⁃ “Jesus replied, “Have faith in God [constantly].” Mark 11:22 AMP
⁃ “Do not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). Believe [confidently] in God and trust in Him, [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] believe also in Me.”John 14:1 AMP
⁃ “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.”Genesis 8:22 AMP
⁃ “In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it].” John 1:1-5 AMP
A leader’s ability to reflect and recalibrate is based on the belief that God’s promises will still come to pass:
⁃ “For I assure you and most solemnly say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke [of the pen] will pass from the Law until all things [which it foreshadows] are accomplished.” Matthew 5:18 AMP
In closing, it is my prayer that today, we can muster up the courage to press forward continuing the good work of the kingdom – remembering but never looking backwards.
“….. now therefore arise [to take his place], cross over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.” Joshua 1:2 AMP
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“Now those who say such things make it clear that they are looking for a country of their own.
And if they had been thinking of that country from which they departed [as their true home], they would have had [a continuing] opportunity to return.
But the truth is that they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one.
For that reason God is not ashamed [of them or] to be called their God [even to be surnamed their God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob]; for He has prepared a city for them.”
Hebrews 11:14-16 AMP
