Transition is not simply the space between where you were and where you are going.

Transition is a place.

On this Labor Day edition of A Seat at the Queen’s Table, Latisha “Tee” Bowen challenges us not to become so focused on there that we miss what God is doing here.

We often want to jump from A to B.

But Tee reminds us that there is a place after A and before B—a place of doors, opportunities, fine-tuning, consecration, and what she calls “prosperous growth.”

And God’s instruction in that place is simple:

Be faithful here.

Through Colossians 3:2, Proverbs 16:9, and Isaiah 30:21, we are reminded to set our affection on things above, allow the Lord to direct our steps, and listen closely for His turn-by-turn instruction:

“This is the way, walk ye in it.”

Then the Table opened—and the revelation kept building.

We talked about marination.

The cocoon.

Pressure that builds spiritual muscle.

Crushing that produces oil.

Clearing the table.

Decluttering the heart.

Releasing what cannot travel into the next season.

And refusing to rush out of a place before God has completed what He intended to do there.

Because some things must be worked out here before we can carry what God has prepared there.

So don’t despise the in-between.

Don’t hurry the process.

Don’t keep looking over your shoulder.

And whatever you do—

DON’T MISS HERE.

Be faithful in the place between.
