One night, I woke up feeling extremely unwell and reached out to God in prayer. A helpful illustration came to me.
Picture this: You’re a busy chief executive. All day long, you sit in your office as people hurry in dropping reports on your desk. The reports provide information about the condition of your company, and you’re receiving them so quickly that you’ve barely read one before you need to move on to the next.
Strangely, these reports conflict—some say the company is doing well, others say it’s performing poorly. Then, as reports of crises pile so high on your desk you can barely see over the mountain of paper, you stop reading. It’s impossible to go on like this! Instead, you start noticing who is delivering the reports.
