Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

The tendency to deal with every issue personally can be distracting and draining. As we move towards a place where we can develop intimacy with God, the incidences of distraction will increase exponentially. The plan of God is for all of us to know the plans that he has for us, however due to business and other unnecessary distractions we can subvert and delay our destiny.

This is where we can learn from the relationship between Moses and his father-in-law, Jethro (Exodus 18).  Jethro visited Moses in the wilderness and notices that he was sitting from morning until evening judging minor and major disputes among the people. With a fresh pair of eyes he advised Moses to change the way he operated and so avoid burnout. Moses listened and set up a hierarchal judicial system that is still present with us today in Western Europe. This gave Moses the opportunity to spend quality time with God and to hear his heartbeat.

 Today, what are your distractions, and what is keeping you from reaching your destiny?  

Solution: de-clutter your life and listen to good advice. Wisdom is justified by her children Jesus said.
