Today’s Mission
Day 22
Reflection Day
Trusting Versus Trudging
In quietness and trust is your strength.
ISAIAH 30:15
This past week you have been plodding it out, faithfully tending to the very unexciting tasks of follow-up and tracking and clarifying—and following up again.
Today you take a break from the trudging, from the fruitful discipline of persistence. This is your sabbath day, a day different from the others in the week. It’s a day to remember that the real work of transformation rests in God’s hands, not in your muscles. Today is a day to rest in the confidence that this is, fundamentally, God’s work. While you rest today, trust that God continues to work behind the scenes, putting together a team to join you in ministry.
Feel free to reflect on and pray through the questions under Today’s Mission, or simply wait to talk them through with your prayer partners when you meet in a few days. You’ve already scheduled your next meeting with your prayer partners, so take the freedom to fully detach and unplug from this project today.
Regardless, take some time to be quiet. In the silence, imagine trust growing in you as an unseen seed underground. Knowing that your strength is limited, rest today in God’s.
