Revelation. Epiphany. Realization. As I become more involved in various ministries, my prayer life has to increase in its consistency, regularity and intensity. The 7/24 model served its purpose when I was involved on a surface level, but as the Lord draws Kristi and I deeper into various service opportunities, that model may not equip me for all God has planned.
In WWI, submarines with carbon steel hulls were limited to dives of 328'. Depths of 656' were achieved in WWII due to the introduction of high-strength alloyed steel. Titanium alloys enabled submarines to operate at depths of more than 3000'. Accordingly, as God directs and redirects my service opportunities, my spiritual "hull" will need to be redesigned.
Perhaps longer periods of prayer will be necessary. Or perhaps allowing the Holy Spirit to change how I pray. Bible study sessions may have to become more intense and focused.
I don't know where the Holy Spirit will lead my spiritual development, but what I do know is that my current level of Bible study, quiet time and prayer is being outstripped by the service opportunities God is placing in my life.
