Most leaders are unprepared for the pressure. I help founders and leaders Prepare To Expand Into New Fields without plateauing.
FIELD NOTES: WEEK 44
Psalm 44:26
'Rise up; come to our help! Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love!'
The Pioneer Perspective for Week 44 is RISE UP.
What if this is the right time for God to actually rise up?
It's painful to make sense of a season of loss and uncertainty. Many founders and leaders have experienced years of growth, momentum, and success... only to be followed by years of unraveling.
Why does this happen? Where's the wrongdoing? When can the current community experience the LORD's deliverance like previous ones?
The writer of this Psalm is lamenting. There once was a time when victory was given freely and frequently. That's not the case in the story though.
Lamenting is basically a past time in the leader's life. We often process hurt and desires privately.
This Psalm requires us to experience this grieving process as a Godly part of the journey towards repentance and renewal.
The spiritual poem ends with a prayer for the LORD to rise up again and redeem the people He cherishes. Godly lament leads us to hope and renewed confidence that the LORD will rise up again!
Hopelessness forgets that God even wants to rise up. Hope counts on it!
If there was a time for God to wait on His people, there is also a right time for His people to wait on Him. This is that time to personally prepare ourselves for Him to rise up and redeem us.
Instead of saying (or just thinking): He doesn't do that kind of thing anymore... Let's believe again: All we need is Him.
Why this matters for founders and leaders:
-
It's okay to not be okay.
-
Process and lament your way towards friendship with Jesus.
-
Expect His Goodness.
-
Accelerate your efforts where you see Him rising.
My hope is that this is the right time for the LORD to rise up in our fields again... and perhaps even new fields! Stay encouraged!
