Say what ?
That is backwards from how we normally read or hear the saying…
The way we hear it is …Don't just stand there, do something!
Day 3 of Experiencing God Led me to the Map in the back of the book and re-iterated day 2's "awakening moment" for me, but Day 3 more has come through that GOD MUST COME FIRST in our lives if we are to Experience God.
This study came out of our church as a whole being led to "Wait on the Lord" … We are such a people of get up and Go Go Go…that we leave little time for God. The hustle and bustle of lives just seems to keep speeding up and the theme is I want it all and I want it now (an old Queen song popped into my head) … As our worldly desires increase, and technology increases it just seems to be pulling at us to keep us distracted and out of God's Path.
So, I see that I MUST put God First and over the last week I have really tried to put my own busy schedule, that could have me working 24/7 and still not get it all done, behind or AFTER my time with God. And I have spent less time working over the last week and more time thinking, praying, talking to God and studying his word.
It is kinda strange as I am a work aholic and I love my work, but it is SO easy to go days without focus being centered on GOD. Sure sunday rolls around and I go to church and "get my fill" as many of us do, but it just is NOT enough anymore.
I have wanted to use my cooking skills and volunteer for quite some time serving the poor and for some reason I have just not done it. Well, I have contacted the person in my church who heads up Mercy works and will move towards volunteering my time in this area.
Day 3 of Experiencing God is all about Serving….Being A Servant and What does that look like? What does it mean?
Find out where the Master is and that is where you need to be…Look for where God is working and throw yourself into the mix and be where God is…
In Day 3 the Scripture reference is based on Jeremiah 18 1:6…Pick up your Bible and have a read of that Scripture…
God is the Potter of our lives, he will shape and mold us on his time and his schedule if we let him…SO SLOW DOWN and Stand there…Wait upon the Lord..
