Pick Me!

7/8/2017

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”  Isaiah 6:8

Sitting in a crowded waiting room or at a restaurant waiting for your name to be called.  The time seems to drag on.  And the suddenly, the door opens to the waiting room and the nurse comes out and says your name or the buzzer they assigned you at the restaurant goes off. Your table is ready.  Sometimes it feels as if we won the lottery.  "They picked ME out of all of these other folks!".  What if we had that attitude when opportunities arise to serve others or complete tasks that we aren't as excited about.

Lord, thank you for equipping me to serve in more ways than I desire and help me to have the courage to say "Pick Me".

Never Alone!

One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.  For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.”  Acts 18:9-10

We may "feel" alone but we are NEVER alone.   We often feel most alone with many people around us, but we are NEVER alone.

Lord, thank you for always being with me and please help me to be aware of that when I am most lonely, you are there.

Be Intentional!

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.  Romans 12:9

Unfortunately, a lot of life is about convenience.  If it works into our schedule and doesn't cause too much discomfort, we may do it.  My day is ruined when the microwave doesn't warm up my instant burrito instantaneously enough and my high speed internet is not high speed enough.  This attitude leads us to believe that most if not everything should be easier.  Love is not easy.  It takes work.  Also, avoiding evil also takes work.  Being aware of evil and hating it is different.

Lord, please help me to see that my life must be lived intentionally and not conveniently.

Why Don't I Get What I Want?!

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh ; rather, serve one another humbly in love.  Galatians 5:13

Unmet expectations is one of the most frustrating and troublesome experiences that anyone encounters.  "Why didn't I get that job?".  "Why haven't I achieved a specific goal or standard?"  "Why don't I have ...?"  "Why ...?"  Sometimes the answer is simple.  The reason we don't achieve or acquire the things we want is because we will misuse those things.  We have freedom.  We are free to do what we want.  Unfortunately, often times, our freedom allows us to do the wrong things with what we have.

Lord, thank you for protecting me from myself by keeping certain things from me and please help me to use my freedom wisely so that I may increase the probability to achieve or obtain what I desire.

Release The Hounds!

In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.   Ephesians 3:12

We can all picture the guy holding a handful of leashes attached to hunting dogs on a scent.  The hunter is holding those dogs back as the dogs get more excited and anxious.  Then, when the time is right, the dogs are set free to chase the fox or rabbit or whatever they have in mind.  The dogs are now completely free and take off without a care.

Lord, thank You for providing an environment that I may be free and confident to run full speed to You.
