So I have been wrestling with an issue.
You've gotta be tired of reading that...cause I am tired of saying it....but I think there may always be something we are working out because He knows I have got enough for Him to work with.....
My hang up was I could not see what things were going to look like.
I had no clear vision of the end result.
I kept saying, "Yes Lord I want to obey but I don't know what it looks like,"
which basically meant I wasn't moving until He showed me.
In case you are new to this Christian walk, or to God period, He does not cower to demands.
E...V...E...R....
The sermon I heard on Sunday was the equivalent of a knock on the knuckles with a ruler.
The sting hung around for a bit giving me plenty to ponder on.
Monday, it hit.
You are not required to.
Now let me say here there are times when I have to be reminded of lessons I already know. Times when head knowledge needs to be reignited into heart knowledge.
Remediation if you will.
This was one of those times.
I don't have to know what things are going to look like.
All I have to know is what Christ has said to do and obey.
I am not responsible for making things look pretty or nice.
He is.
I am not responsible for how it all works out.
He is.
My job...
seek Him...
hear Him...
obey Him...
trust Him...
I have no idea how this will pan out.
I really don't. What I do have an idea of is what He requires of me when the situation presents itself.
And it will.
Probably soon.
For you newbies, He likes to do that as well.
I don't like remediation.
But I choose to be grateful for it.
"Being confident of this very thing, that He who begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."
Philippians 4:6 (NKJV)
Because even though I can't see the end result, He can.
And it is for and to His glory:)
