Cooling Down

Listen to the Audio

We are moving into the cooler time of the year when many transitions happen. Don’t be surprised if God starts shifting things around. If you are in a leadership position, there will often be some shifts in people during this time. Transitions can be messy and some people will choose to leave or do something different during this time. During transitions, stay calm and be at peace because they can often be overwhelming, but you can be assured that God is working it all out for good. God transitions things slowly so that nothing tears or breaks. If things feel like they are slowing down the most important thing you can do is stay positioned in thanksgiving, praise, forgiveness, and love and keep doing what you know you can do TODAY.

Sometimes when transitions happen people freak out and you may see a side of them that you've never seen before. If this happens make sure to be gracious and gentle with them, the way God is with us. 

We just finished going through the heat of the year, and now we are moving into the colder season. We can’t just move from hot to cold. Imagine putting hot glass in a freezer. It would break. In this season, God will often slow things down and cause some unexpected delays. 

This is a time when things just seem to sit on the shelf and cool for a while. If you have been through the fire this year, don’t be surprised if it seems like you are just waiting for a season. If this happens, be of good cheer—because it means that God is actually lining things up perfectly. These delays and slowdowns may be frustrating, but God knows the perfect timing, and a few months from now you will actually look back and be grateful for the delay. 

I am praying for you.
