I spent an hour in a pastor's prayer group this morning and said nothing. One of the pastors said on the way out, "You need to share more." All I could say at the time was that there will be a day. I believe that was of God.
There will be a day when I speak. But I won't speak prematurely. I won't speak presumptuously. I will speak when the time comes . . . but I have a clear sense that when I speak, I will be heard. Not because I will have profound words, but because I will speak when the Spirit of God has given me something to say.
I am somewhere between prophetic and arrogant right now. Prophetic in the sense that I have the vision to surpass the men I currently submit to. Arrogant in the sense that I risk being prideful about it. If God graces me with effectiveness in my ministry, it will be on His terms, not mine. This will happen only through a humble heart that is bent on His glory.
