“When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, who are Levites, carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before… (Joshua 3:3-4)
I feel like I have a new take on the term “transition.” It seems that we’ve been in it for quite some time now.
Here’s my take on transition… It’s not just a “Christianeese” term; it’s an ongoing process that occurs in the life of believers. Growth is transitional. Following is transitional. Movement is transitional and change is transitional. The fact is that transition is supposed to be occurring on a regular and continuous basis in the life of a believer. He leads and we follow – this is how it works in our lives; and this is the process of growth, productivity and fulfillment
Now, although transition is continuous, there are times when it’s flat-out palpable. And these are usually times of MAJOR transitions. They’re not just spiritual or mental but physical as well. These times are very vulnerable; setbacks await us if wrong moves are taken.
Honestly, this is where Victoria and I have been. And the crazy thing is that we’re not finished yet. All I know is that the Lord is taking us to a place where there is no point of reference. We’ve truly have not “passed this way before.” I’ve never been more hungry and desirous to not just know His will but to do it as well!
Thank-you for your prayers,
Pastor Manny
