This word is on my heart today:
ACTION: an act of will, a thing done, the bringing about of an
alteration by force or through natural agency.
Have you ever felt called to action?
Have you ever felt called to stillness?
Both real, and very different callings.
I
fear that too many of us are called to action but instead we sit
sedentary, idle, luke warm, mistaking the Psalms "Be still and know I Am
God" for a way of life. God calls us to action. He calls us to look
fear and sin and injustice directly in the eyes, to stand up against it,
shamelessly, and FIGHT... to bring about an alteration by force!
But too many of us sit still. waiting. anticipating. Yet, we hear nothing. And we do nothing.
Of
course, sometimes God does call us to stillness. To patience. To wait
upon the Lord. To be still and know that He is God and He is in control.
What is God calling you to today? Please don't mistake your own idleness for stillness that the Lord is calling you to.
"So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong" 1 Kings 3:9
Oh
Lord! Give your people wise and discerning hearts, to know the
difference between right and wrong, action and stillness. Lord, guide
your children! Fill our hearts with love and passion that drive us to
action, to initiative, to pursue your people and your church the way you
desire us to!
