We tend to look around our ministries and churches and fail to see what the Lord is doing. This is not because He is inactive, nor is it a time when He is looking for our help - or in need of it.
When the Lord gets quiet, many of us tend to "get to work" tying to put life into the thing He has called us to do. We organize, we troubleshoot, we enhance, we correct, and we simply move "forward."
Do you not know this is when the Lord is stoking the fire. He is gently breathing life onto the embers to create a bed of coals which will not easily go out, indeed they will become a firestorm spreading in every direction. He places every twig and every piece of kindling exactly where it needs to be placed, so as to produce the perfect fire.
The Lord is not looking for you to be successful. He is only interested in building His kingdom - not yours.
Cease from your labors and enter into His rest.
