One of the most challenging things for me is to be still. I have been that way since I was a kid. I have always heard that most kid pastors have ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). That's me! Even so, the Lord used me even in my weaknesses.
One of my biggest challenges in serving the Lord is being still and waiting! I am a doer. Who wants to wait around or even stop for a moment? I want to be about His business. Just like Martha was when Jesus was in her home, she was busy.
Martha welcomed Jesus into her home. She moved around the house at a hectic pace, trying to get things done. She gets upset with Mary because she is not doing anything but sitting at the Master's feet.
She asked the Lord, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, tell her to help me." Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her" (Luke 10:38-42).
So, for now, I will sit at the Master's feet. I choose to wait on Him. I have a lot of dreams for L.I.T. I want to see the ministry grow throughout the United States and worldwide. But good ideas and God's ideas are not the same.
I want to hear from Him. His ideas seem impossible to me, but they are the ones that bring about more extraordinary work for His Kingdom.
I have shared many times how the ministry has grown organically. I would love to take the credit, but at that moment, the Lord told me to wait is when He did His most remarkable work. I have plans, but He has more excellent plans. I am waiting.
I covet your prayers. Pray that I will wait, pray that I will be still, pray that I will listen, and pray that the Lord will clarify what He wants for Vicki, me, and L.I.T. Ministries.
What a joy it is to serve the Lord. Many of you have joined us along the way. My prayer is to share in the future where the Lord will take us next. His vision is what I am waiting for. Pray for His continued provision to complete what He has called us to do.
Blessings,
Dr. Clint May
