A simple formula...Right?

I think one of the biggest mistakes we make on a daily basis is trying to accomplish our work apart from God. Even in ministry, it's easy to fall into this trap. We have a lot to do and we're quick to leave God in the dust. I've been meditating on a simple formula lately. I think this is more along the lines of what God intended our work to look like.

1. God gives us an assignment (responsibility).
2. We lean into God to find out the best way to do it.
3. We walk with Jesus closely and allow Him to work through us to complete the vision.
4. God shines the spotlight on us and gives us recognition.
5. We give God the glory and credit.
6. Friendship with God is strengthened.

I think it's a pretty healthy cycle.
