The Navigators

My first deployment at sea aboard a Navy ship was tough. I thought I had enough spiritual "momentum" built up going into it to sustain me through the months away from home, church, friends, family, and the Christian community. The isolation and loneliness I experienced while at sea left me questioning God's goodness, and frankly even His presence—was He really with me out there?

After returning from deployment, and while happy to be home, I found myself feeling empty and sad as I considered how much I had distanced myself from God over the course of those months away.

I realized that my heart and mind had become completely focused on idols—my work performance, my ability to execute our mission set, what my fellow sailors thought about me, if leadership was pleased with me, and so forth.

I had pushed God aside. That left me looking to fill the void in my heart. I kept coming up short, and I knew something was missing. I reached out to Navigators Military staff Bev Miller. She helped me go "back to the basics" of who God is, and how to grow in my relationship with Him.

Does what you have to offer feel too small?

God specializes in small. He takes the least and makes it 1,000. He takes freshmen and sends them to the ends of the earth as disciplemakers.

Bring Him your small offering and watch Him multiply it!

Evangelism isn’t the finish line.

In 1952, Dawson Trotman wrote to pastors in his booklet, "Follow-Up":
“Revival may be under way in your community, and the evangelistic program be all you could have expected and more. Yet it may lose momentum, wither, and die without effective follow-up. You have been busy enlarging the place of your tent (Isaiah 54:2) and lengthening the cords. Now it is time to strengthen the stakes, lest your labor be in vain.”

Widening the tent is only half the work. Follow-up is what keeps it standing.

Galatians 5:22-23 tells us “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

Among the fruit of the Spirit, patience is a quality we are called to embody as believers. Not only does patience help us love others well, but it teaches us to rely on God for direction and guidance in our lives and relationships.

However, patience isn’t easy. Trusting the Lord to work in His perfect timing can feel like tediously stepping into the unknown.

Here are a few tips to encourage you in your practice of patience: https://navs.me/4sqSjos
