When Al and I are in Mesa, we attend Heart Cry Church—and once a month, they host a special Cowboy Church service. Heart Cry Cowboy Church on Instagram
This past Sunday was that time. The sermon centered on prophets and the idea of leaving things undone. Prophets don’t shy away from the messiness of life, and let’s face it—life is messy.
I’ve had to come to terms with the reality that none of us will leave this world with every task checked off. Right now, I’m working on my will, and that has reminded me that I can only control things up to a point. Beyond that, it’s out of my hands.
But there’s comfort in knowing that someone will come after me to pick up the reins. Someone who may carry the work further than I ever imagined. Because this isn’t work we accomplish by sheer willpower or personal plans—it’s part of a larger story, a master plan written by God. He’s the reason unfinished work can continue. He’s the one who decides how it grows, for His kingdom and His glory. And I am completely at peace with that.
“Thus says the Lord: I have healed this water; from now on neither death nor miscarriage shall come from it.” So the water has been healed to this day, according to the word that Elisha spoke.
—2 Kings 2:19–22
