Good Morning Ladies!
Who doesn't like signs when you are driving somewhere? Especially when you are on an unknown road going to a place you have never been. I very much appreciate signs. But sometimes, in my spiritual life I would appreciate a little spiritual GPS. I would like to see every curve in the road, each intersection and I would like to know how long it will take before I arrive at my destination. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
In Gideon's day He had only blind faith to take him on his journey. He had to trust that God was who He said He was. Today, however, we have faith but we also have the Bible. It may not tell us where each curve is or even each intersection. It does tell us how to move forward regardless of the circumstances. No matter where you are or where you are going the Bible gives you the direction you need. God gives us all the directions and encouragement to move forward for Him. Listen to His nudges and 'signs'. If we spend time is His word and in prayer daily then we will not need to ask God for signs. We receive God's grace and favor daily as followers of Him. Because of this we should be set apart from our culture. Do we feel comfortable being set apart in a world of like minded people? We need to embrace being different due to our belief and faith in Christ. At times it is not easy. I believe we all have a little kid inside that just wants to fit in. But here is the deal...it is time we all put on our big girl pants and embrace that we are different because of what Jesus Christ did for us! God designed each of us for a purpose. That purpose is always to advance His Kingdom in some form or fashion. What an honor!
We live in a time where being a Christian is not popular or respected. We need to hold our heads high. Now more than ever the world is looking at us and watching for our next mistake. We need to stop preaching at the world in an attempt to save them but act as Christ did and move them with our walk. When people see the life we live it will speak volumes louder than anything we could ever say to them.
God leads us daily. We need to get on board, do the right things, and enjoy the ride. If we do these things then God will be able to use us better.
Move away from the ways of the world (Baal) and into the ways of Christ. Be a Jerubaal woman!
Go to God with everything! He desires to hear from us on all things. Just as your best girlfriend wants to know it all, so does God. Being comfortable enough to go to God with everything is a big step but one we need to take in order to forge the relationship we need. (Phil.4:6)
I love you ladies!
