Living in God’s presence
“God, with all due respect, You either have the wrong person or Your timing is way off, “ we whisper, shaking our heads in disbelief. But His will keeps pressing on our hearts, calling us to dream with Him again, calling us to do the impossible.
“Maybe in the past or in the future… perhaps if I had more experience or fewer birthdays, possibly if I possessed greater gifts or lighter responsibilities or ... “ Our excuses are endless.
But God does not expect us to evaluate the unknown future and calmly conclude that it is manageable. He is not asking us to place our abilities on one side of the scale and His calling on the other and declare that they balance. They do not balance and they never will! So if not in a sober, reasonable, accurate estimation of our attitude, what does God expect us to hold on to in order to risk following Him into the unknown?
His presence!! His calling always includes His presence.
Whatever you do. Do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10 : 31
As the elect of God,… put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering. Colossians 3 : 12
