Let’s be honest, how often have we heard a significant word or felt like God gave us clear instructions about something we needed an answer for? We wrote down a plan, told a few people, prayed over it, and just knew that we would execute exactly what He said. Then the reality of implementing the plan or distractions from day-to-day life came and slowed us down. We found ourselves back in a place where we didn’t know what to do next, or even worse, we knew what to do, but for some reason, we couldn’t bring ourselves to stay consistent or follow through. Let me be the first to raise my hand and say I have been there. I found the biggest issue with not being obedient to God’s instructions is that you find yourself sacrificing so much more than He ever intended. And when we sacrifice in areas that He never intended, we no longer reap the benefits of obedience. If God gave us three tasks and we did ten, but none of them were the original three He gave us, we don’t get extra brownie points. Unfortunately, we are typically stuck spinning our wheels and feeling like we haven’t accomplished much. Today I encourage You to repent for any missed steps and ask God, “What is the next best thing You want me to do?” Ask this concerning any areas in which you have been feeling stuck. Then DO IT! as quickly as you can and then go back for the next step. God wants you to WIN, but He wants you to win HIS WAY.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! II CORINTHIANS 5:17 NIV
God, I am grateful to see light coming. I realize that it doesn’t have to happen the way I thought it would. I ask that You would help me not to be close-minded . . . but Christ-minded.
