Submission draws from humility,
Humility draws from trust,
Trust is built on respect,
Respect comes from fear,
Fear is the beginning of wisdom,
Wisdom is born out of submission.
Historically speaking I have always considered progress a good thing. I was made principal of BLS for the purpose of growing and moving our school forward. But God has shown me something recently that has made me pause to rethink my definintion of progress. In Psalms God says, "Unless the Lord builds a house its builders labor in vain, unless the Lord watches over a city, the watchmen stand guard in vain." God has brought to my attention that unless his will is done at BLS all of our labor is meaningless. We can impliment and move forward with a stratiegic action plan to promote and grow the school but if we are not working for the glory of God, his annointing will not be on our efforts. At this point I am more concerned with submitting to the will of God than accomplishing my own goals. Maybe someday God will bless us with abundance but when that day comes, we will know exactly where the glory belongs.
