4 Things I Choose Not To Do This Week... (Part 1)

This week I will be blogging over 4 choices is making in not choosing them (hope that makes sense. I believe that by sometimes choosing what you will not do has greater influence in what you choose to do)

1. I choose not to allow my time schedule to push against the work of God in my life.

It is so easy to feel that God needs proper motivation to advance the "kingdom of me". There is a time recorded in 1 Samuel where King Saul was impatient with Samuel and took matters in his own hands by taking a specific offering. It marked the beginning of his. He did something we recklessly attempt to do. We try to speed up the provision of God in our lives. When I do this, I find that my justification of my actions conflict with the pace God is calling me to live. We see this played out in great ways in our finances, our career opportunities and for some in our marriage and relationships.

There is a great reason why God invites us into a relationship with Him. There is a great reason why His pace of living is the most sound pace to live by. To put is simply it's a matter of perspective. The fact that He sees the bigger picture of our lives more clearly than we do should be reason enough (though we seldom believe this to be true). When we take the reins of God isn't mainly during seasons of chaos? If we choose to fuel this way of living it will not be long before we have led ourselves astray.

I will ask God each day this week, "What speed are we going today?"

Heart and Soul,
