In the book everyone in ministry should read, On Being A Servant of God, Warren Wiersbe shares his wisdom about staying in a ministry or moving on to the next thing.
Our work is supposed to make us grow
We’re always being measured
Each job prepares us for the next one
The Lord may move us when He sees we’re ready
“It takes a very special person to stay in the same ministry a long time and not stifle the creativity of others or hinder the changes that need to be made. You have to keep growing and you must stay in touch with the new generation….When it comes to moving His servants, God’s plan is never wrong, and His timing is never off. Sometimes He moves us to a bigger place, but He may move us to a smaller place that we’re supposed to make bigger. He may put us in a situation for which we feel totally unprepared and in whcih we aren’t at all comfortable. So much the better; He’s giving us room to grow.”
