Don’t really care to know the day and the hour.  This world already possesses enough shiny objects to capture what is left of my attention.  I don’t need to feed the engines of conspiracy, sycophantic siphoning of my focus upon Christ.  I do love you so, but I cannot complete the tasks of God while fully engaged regarding our loss or wealth in this world. When my work is done I will be gone until then that is the reason I remain in this plane. What I have or don’t have here is governed fully by the Will of God, I ought not have an inkling regardless.

That considered, what next?  The Lord said, my sheep know my voice and another they will not follow.  It’s pretty clear.  If we belong to Him then we know when He is talking and we listen.  We also know those voices that are foreign, impostor or false and we clearly know that we shall not follow their direction.  So, if I follow flesh, the enemy, my neighbor and the voices of improper doctrine, then I know clearly it has been by choice.  My own choice, with none to blame but myself.  Additionally, the most difficult part to disciplined service is immediate and complete response to Sovereign dictate.  If I know what He wants me to do, which I do because I know His voice and to which direction I am being compelled, then to do nothing is contempt for Christ.  My love is found in my obedience.

If He has given me extra funds then there is something for which they should be expended that is Kingdom conscious.  If there is too little funds then there is work and faith that need be expended to produce the crops of His harvest until the ministry is fulfilled.  If I am set from a position, relationship, ownership or service then there is another door either readily waiting or one which shall be opened in due time for my entry.  If He has yet to give me a family then I am too be educated through the aspiration and desire of a man given to serving God entirely.  If I have been given a family that continues to sharpen my manhood, then I must commit myself fully to this perfect service.

Although, I am not fully emptied of self, I am finding that to remain such is similar to a comatose patient on life support.  I have so little energy when I am in the flesh that I never seem to get my sin programs off the ground.  You see the Lord is right, that which I have fed has gotten stronger and that which I have starved is slowly dying.  The end of this perfect program He has me on will result in my being like Jesus.  I can help it through obedience and surrender.  I hamper it when I try to inject my own energy, thought, time, reasoning, logic or righteousness.  If I ever could have done it He would have never had to come in the first place.

Will you honestly say, like Isaiah, “Here I am Lord send me”?  Do you know what that means to be ready to do whatever it is the Lord is asking of you?  Being honest requires that you understand the position of your heart when you say something like, “that depends on where he is sending me”.  His Will, His destination, His promise, His responsibility to deliver, His servant, My wish, My command.
