Today I resigned my post as praise band guitarist for our church. It took much prayer and deliberation. I realized that the enemy was using my music ministry to weaken my foundations. That cannot happen. The key is to realize the ploy of the enemy - and his intent for me was to spread me too thin. I'm tired... all the time. And as tired as I am, I'm becoming even less help to my family. This is where resentment begins.
There were times when Jesus would go about healing, casting out demons, and basically just DOING GOOD. But there always came a time as well when He would continue on with His mission. At some point, He healed the last person in line and said, "Enough, I must go." Every time this happened, you must know that there were people begging Him to stay. They had good excuses, too. They had needs. But He had to go. He was about His Father's business. He maintained FOCUS.
None of this is easy. His original desire, after all, is to walk amongst His people and BE THEIR GOD. But alas, that time is not yet. But it is soon coming. Meanwhile, do not let the enemy spread you too thin.
