When and Where God Says, Go!
by Jennifer Pulliam
What is God telling you to do? Where is He telling you to go (or maybe stay)? There are times when God calls us to do things that sound absolutely ridiculous. There are also times when He calls us to move beyond the boundaries of our comfort zones. Yet God PROMISES to GO WITH US. We just have to be WILLING TO GO when He says so.
"Without faith, it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God..." [Hebrews 11:6] It takes an incredible amount of FAITH to serve God, because, most of the time, when He says to go, we have NO IDEA what will happen along the way. So many times, we make the mistake of thinking we have to have things all figured out BEFORE we can go with God. We ASSUME we must have certain qualifications--or have it "all together" before we are in a position to be used. However, if we will only OBEY when God says go, our lives will become MORE than we could EVER DREAM they would be. Of course, it may not always reflect the life we would have chosen for OURSELVES, but our lives will be more REWARDING and FULFILLING than we ever thought possible.
GOD USES THOSE WHO WILLINGLY LISTEN TO HIS VOICE AND MOVE BY HIS SPIRIT--those who don't have plans and agendas OF THEIR OWN but are always READY to go wherever He says go. What is the ONE THING you have DREAMED of doing for almost as long as you can remember? What is the ONE THING you have to offer God that will greatly impact His kingdom? Where could your presence make the MOST DIFFERENCE? Where is He telling you to go (or stay)? Where is your place of SERVICE? And WHY AREN'T YOU THERE?
Blessings and Peace!
