Being fearful is not an excuse to keep God waiting. Being tired isn’t an excuse to keep God waiting. He didn’t plant the seed to be wasted, He choose the perfect person for the task at hand. (Check out Esther).
Stop wasting time. Stop letting the chaos of today keep you from your tomorrow. God is moving, God has this. He isn’t asking us for anything but ‘YES’. Be obedient to what He has put in front of you.
Love Him. Love Him like He loves us (granted, that may not seem possible, but try anyways)! John 3:16… We can not compete with this sacrifice, but we don’t have to. God is asking us to surrender.
Search your life; what have you set aside that you are not willing to give to Him? For me, it’s certain relationships that I hold dear. I know they aren’t ready to receive God, so I shield them by not talking to them about Jesus.
I am not in anyway an aggressive Christian. I will just drop this note and if you wanna read it… then how blessed will you be! But if you chose not to… then I pray Holy Spirit will send someone else to reach you. This is exactly what I’m hoping to happen with those relationships that “I” can’t talk about Him. Send someone else….. OUCH.
Yuck. That doesn’t even feel good writing it.
Our Pastor says how much do you have to hate someone to allow them to go to hell? Or how much do I have to love someone to tell them about heaven?
I’ve been wasting God’s time. I have know His purpose he has for me and I sit idol on completing those tasks. I have convinced myself that I’m not enough. I have partnered with a lie that keeps me from stepping forward in the hopes that God has me covered.
Christians not only know this trap but they have been warned of the it multiple times. Probably the most famous was Jonah- he was refusing to follow what God’s instruction and it lead to an uncomfortable to trip in the belly of a large fish.
Thank you Jesus for not giving me that punishment! But I’m still convicted by the fact that I keep God waiting. Our relationship is suffering because of it and I am causing that strife between us.
Okay so what can we do to get out of this predicament? Repent and start moving.
My prayer:
Father God- I have kept you waiting. I’m sorry, please forgive me for believing in a lie instead of trusting Your truth. I’m ready to move in faith. I’m ready for You to lead me in the direction You want me to go. I know that You are with me and that all things will be added to me. I’m not enough but You are! Thank you for picking me back up and for continuing to cover me in your presence. All honor, glory and praise to you, Jesus. In your mighty name, Amen.
God is always working things for our good. Trust Him. Rest in His peace and let Him lead on this journey!
May God pour many, many blessings over you.
