I don’t ever recall God speaking to me, “Adam, this is what I want you to do. How does that sound?” or “Adam, I want you to go there. Does that work okay for you?” God just doesn’t seem to be that concerned with my convenience.
De veras. Wake up. God doesn’t really give a hoot about what’s convenient. I was with Pastor Dennis Kutzner earlier tonight and he shared with me something that penetrated into my heart. He said, “Adam, you know its God when its not convenient.”
That is so true. Was it convenient for Jesus to die for us? Was in convenient for the Apostle Paul to travel across Europe to spread the Gospel–even to the point of imprisonment and perhaps a martyrs death? Is it convenient to share Christ — perhaps with someone you don’t even know? Is it convenient to fill up someone else’s car with some gasoline? Let’s not back away from things that are simply not convenient. God should be allowed to inconvenience us. Give him permission.
The more we become like Christ, the less we will care about convenience. But, until then, it’s a matter of disciplining ourselves to just do it.
I spend most of my time either disciplining myself to do what God asks, or, more often, failing to do it.
But, amazingly, the point isn’t when I mess up, it’s God’s ability to continue to restore me and shape and mold me and use me in spite of my failure!
Believe me…it is not convenient for me to be in Texas. It’s painful…yet perfectly beautiful, because it’s right.
See you soon!!!
I find it never covientant. There’s a scripture that says, Jesus learned obedience by the things that he suffered. That sounds inconvient too.
i agree
I like this post, enjoyed this one thanks for posting.
Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Many thanks
I precisely desired to thank you very much again. I am not sure the things I would’ve used without these creative ideas provided by you on such situation. It had been a real challenging circumstance in my position, but witnessing this skilled style you treated the issue took me to leap with contentment. I’m happy for this guidance and in addition expect you know what a great job you are carrying out teaching the rest with the aid of your blog. Most likely you have never encountered all of us.
There is noticeably a bundle to know about this. I assume you made certain nice points in features also.
Would love to always get updated great web blog! .
Very interesting subject, thanks for posting.
