Not For The Squeamish

There is so much joy in Kingdom work. Lives change and people find what really matters in life - peace through Jesus. It's work though. I really never knew how much work it could be until this past weekend. With our mountain-top experience, we battled fatigue, storms, and sleeplessness on top of the usual spiritual warefare that goes on. Never before in my limited ministry experience have I seen the enemy so intent on ruining the atmosphere of worship. The enemy just couldn't contain what the Lord wanted to do, however. He didn't have the resources to see it done.

A couple of days later, I'm back to the drudgery of damage control at work, grocery shopping, and chores. What I feel has to be kin to post partum syndrome. The Lord really did birth much on that mountain. I feel a tremendous weight of answered prayer off of my shoulders. On the other hand, I feel new burdens and I'm glad to take them on knowing that just as God delighted to show His might last weekend, He will do it again.
