Don't just do something stand there.....
Yea you read it right. I recently read a book and that was a title of one of the chapters. "Don't just do something stand there".
What comes to mind as you read that? Read it again...
I know for me it is really starting to ring true. I'm doing too much. I am finding it hard to give what I can to all the areas of my life. I am doing enough to get by and that is about it. I'm not even giving myself time to enjoy some of the things I'm doing, almost as if it is a check list. Ok that is done what's next.... Ok next..... I forgot to do..... And I meant to do.... I should of done.....
Have you ever felt like that? I know that I am at a point in my life that God is speaking to me in ways I have never heard him before. I know that with my schedule as it is I'm not even finding time to enjoy my creator. I know that HE is nudging and waiting for my next move, hoping the next move will be toward HIM and not just another thing on the check list.
The point of the chapter I mentioned earlier is "to be still I know that I am God". It talks about how we get so caught up in life that we don't find time to be still and sit in awe of who God is and what HE has done.
I find myself doubting some of the things just months ago I knew to be true. I find myself saying "it's to hard to do those things" and "they are meant for someone else". I find myself saying "I can't, I won't, it will never work". It is hard to admit some of this and as I am writing it I feel as if God is saying "will you trust ME"...
I need to find time to "stand there". I need to find time to listen to what God would have me take off my check list. I need to find time to spend with my SAVIOR to tell HIM how unworthy I am to be in HIS presence, but still accept with grace whatever HE wants to give to me. I need to get HIS check list not mine.
God I pray that you would show me how to give all of me to the things YOU decide that need to go on the new check list. I pray that I can find a way to get back on track with where I feel I'm being called. I am "trying to become a man of Integrity". God I thank you for the people you put in my life and I pray that you give me your eyes to see the people I hold to a level that is unfair to them.... Amen.
