When we get tripped into playing defense, all our time is consumed by responding to and defending not by moving forward. So, what's the future look like and how do we get there? A lot of energy and time is consumed playing defense. Defense is about holding ground, not necessarily advancing ground!
When I look at the life of Jesus, I think he played offense almost exclusively! It's almost Easter... look at his movement toward the cross... he definitely did not let the critics keep him from the larger reality of his destiny! Nor did he loose much time or energy focusing on the present challenge, but was focused on what he knew was ahead.
Just this week I had a situation where it would have been easy to slip into defensive mode, but I stayed on offense and God honored that in a big way... can't disclose details yet... but one day it will be a great story of God's awesome power and provision to share with others!
