Being in the center of God’s will. What does this mean to you? Are you in the place that God wants you to be? Am I? Do I truly work to be in God’s will for my life or am I running like Jonah? Running in the opposite direction. Away from the lost souls that God is calling me to help.
This is the question I have been pounding tonight. I am sitting and wondering what God is calling me to. I leave for Kenya in 16 days. When I come home I have no plans. I know that there is work for my in dad’s office, but is this where God is calling me? If not what is He calling me to? I have NO idea what the future may hold for me. None of us do. We are clay in Gods hands. It is His job to mold us. NOT OURS!
Me? A simple lump of clay? God surly you are not calling ME to do this. God it’s too hard! Ever felt that way? Moses did. He told God that he was not good at public speaking. But look what GOD did THOUGH Moses. With God we can do ANYTHING! My favorite verse Philippians 4:13 says “I can do ALL things though Christ who strengthens me.”
Am I willing to put God first and follow HIS will? How many times am I a Jonah? Do I run toward God or away? GOD I CHOOSE TO RUN TO YOU! NO LONGER WILL I RUN AWAY! GOD I AM YOURS! USE ME! SEND ME! SHOW ME YOUR WILL IN MY LIFE!
“Unless it be in His presence” What does this mean? To be in the presence of God. To live with Him for ENTERNITY! WOW. I can’t even imagine what eternity is. God has ALWAYS been and ALWAYS will be! It’s CRAZY to think of it!
What does it mean to die for Christ? Would you be willing to sacrifice all, if that’s what following God came to? Would I? Am I? If my family was put at risk would I be willing to still CHOOSE CHRIST? Would you? If we are not willing to die for Christ HOW can we say that we are living for Him? Unless I am willing to give up EVERYTHING, family, friends, material positions, then how am I TRULY following God? Following God should be all I need. Is it? I SAY YES! God is ALL I need. The blessing should be used to bring GLORY to Him. NOT take the glory from Him!

SO needed to hear this tonight, Bree! I'm working on a couple of posts on this very topic. Learning how, when God tells you to do something and you don't do it He does it for you! Be careful when you ask Him to reveal His will for you that you are ready to hear it. Praying that he prepares your heart, orders your steps and that you willingly jump feet first into His good and perfect, albeit sometimes scary!, will. See you tomorrow :o)
