When Devon heard God speak to him in this way, he said that he had to shift from being list focused to being life focused understanding that every life God touched because of his book was a blessing. Devon reveals that five years later, what God said was going to happen with him making the New York Times best seller happened but it happened through his book “The Wait” that he co-wrote with his wife and it happened in God's time, not his own.When Devon heard God speak to him in this way, he said that he had to shift from being list focused to being life focused understanding that every life God touched because of his book was a blessing.

As I was preparing to write last months blog, God instructed me to write about shifting in the month of March. I believe that God knew that with this being the last month in our first quarter of 2018, there are some plans that people may have started out with at the beginning of this year that may seem useless. You have been obedient and you have been consistent with what God has called you to do yet you have failed to see your fruit and now you are questioning whether or not this is all a waste of your time or whether you are successful in doing what God has called you to do. I am here this month to let you know that God has you exactly where He wants you to be but He needs you to shift your train of thought so that you can see the eternal glory that is being produced through everything that you are doing.
In the same way that Devon had to shift from being list focused to being life focused, I believe that this month God is calling us to shift from being earthly-minded to being spiritually focused. This shift will help us to understand that though we may not physically see fruit, it is being produced eternally in a way beyond all comparison through us and the people whose lives we may touch. In God's timing, not our own, His glory will be revealed through our obedience. In the meantime, if you are someone who feels that you may be wasting your time because you do not see the results, I challenge you to do one thing this month, shift.
Heavenly Father,
We love you, we adore you and we honor you. In complete surrenderance of our mind, our body, and heart, we ask that you purify everything within us and uproot anything that may hinder us. With a desire in our hearts to live out our full potential we pray for a shift in our thought process Lord. Fix our eyes not on the things seen but on what is unseen. Strengthen our faith, continuously renew our hope and bless us with the ability to remain patient. Cover our every move and protect our destiny, remind us that in your timing, not our own, all things will work together for our good. May you get the glory out of every mistake, every fall, every mountain we face, and every desert we must cross, replenishing and encouraging us every step along the way. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
