Foxes and Hedgehogs














Have you heard the parable of the Hedgehog and the Fox?
It is a story about being focused - doing one thing (yup, just one) extremely well.
“The fox knows MANY things, but the hedgehog knows ONE big thing.”

In ministry, I want to be a hedgehog and not a fox. But that, my friends, is easier to desire than it is to do. In order to stay focused on the one big thing (crucial thing) that God has called us to - we will have to say "no" to a lot of good, even worthy, things. And saying "no" is hard.

So what "good" things do you need to stop doing (what and who do you need to say "no" to) in order to make the leap from fox to hedgehog?
