On July 23, 2020, I wrote the following in my journal—
“Do what God tells you to do when He tells you to do it. No questions asked.”
I went on to write about the different assignments God had given me to do that day, and I did them without question. Some were pretty big, and again, I did them without question. I never asked, “Are you sure?” or “Is this You, God, or me talking?” No, I just obeyed.
Fast-forward to today. Over the years, I have been given numerous assignments/tasks. Some of which I never questioned, while others I couldn’t stop questioning. Some pulled at my heartstrings, and some at my purse strings. However, in the end, I was always obedient.
Y’all, I never knew what my “Yes” or obedience would entail. I just wanted to be a vessel that God could use. Sometimes life throws me some ugly curveballs because of my obedience, but I still stand. I know that God is with me, and I know I am covered.
Obedience isn’t always easy. However, I am more than certain that my obedience will be worth it in the end because I trust God and I know He loves me.
Be obedient, even when it hurts. The reward will be worth it. Trust God.
I pray that you have one of the best days yet. May it be filled with love—the unconditional, I love you for YOU kind—peace, harmony (not sure where that came from😁), joy and favor.♥️
Woke up singing, “How great is our God. Sing with me. How great is our God. And all will see. How great, how great is our God.”
Every day, I wake up expecting something great to happen, something besides—living to see another day, random small opportunities, or a victory here and there for humanity. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sincerely grateful for them all. However, I would like to experience something great like rivers parting like the Jordan (been reading the book of Joshua in the Bible).
Joshua 3:5. Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.”
Hmmm… So maybe consecration is the key.
Just thinking…
How often do we expect great things to happen but fail to consecrate (dedicate) ourselves to God? In other words, we expect great things from God, but what do we offer Him?
I’m still expecting great things to happen because God is great. However, this does make me think about my commitment to God. How dedicated am I? Not because I want to experience His unexpected greatness, but because I truly revere Him.
