The two greatest segments of preparation that leadership or individuals must navigate is CHANGE and CHALLENGE. In an ever transforming and shifting world the ability to understand these two requirements remain crucial. I have always thought that change was a negative thing. Think about whenever someone has stated that you have changed. The first impulse is to defend the fact that you have not changed. Change means growth...that's a positive. Change means movement and positive advancement. Without the right attitude and mentality you may misinterpret change as working against you rather than working for you!. Anything that is alive in God's universe must grow..expand out live past levels or expectations. When you embrace change it opens the door to a greater and more complete you! The way that God encourages us to change is through CHALLENGE! James teaches that it is the trying or frustration of our faith that works patience. God uses many disconnected strategies to push our faith. When God pushes do not push back..push on to your knew level. Ask yourself honestly today what is God working on and in you? 1 Samuel 17 is classic! David when delivering lunch to his brothers stumbles on a moment and opportunity that immediately challenges him. Without the taunting of the uncircumcised Philistine..Goliath the opportunity to rise to the leadership of Israel would not have presented itself. Do not ignore the opportunities that God presents for CHANGE and CHALLENGE..ALECHEIM shalom..unto you peace!
