It grabs, it lures, it induces all the players in roles to distract, divide and destroy your performance. This world, designed perfectly for God’s purposes, transformed into the perfect training ground for Christians and hell-bound. What is that dynamic once-in-a-lifetime role that would precisely demonstrate your God given talents and allow you to bring the greatest glory to His name? Have you contemplated your reaction, your dedication, your immersion in this, greatest role? Or have you been sitting on that fence hoping that the team would select someone else? Don’t worry we know how hard this world is. We understand the power of its ability to entice your away from the skinny path and lest we forget the voices of the enemy or your own flesh. Is that it then, we are excused from all righteous performance by a list of adequate explanations?
How difficult was it for you to listen to this man’s testimony without focusing on the Holy Spirit’s chastisement of your inaction? How painful was it to think that he suffered for Christ and that is why his role was so touching, lifelike and motivating to them that believe? The question rapidly is becoming what constitutes adequate choice as a Christian? I know you want me to say that once I said that little prayer, back when I knew nothing of God that it was sufficient to secure heaven’s entry. I get it this argument you would have theologian’s make on your behalf, but it just doesn’t seem to be truth. My righteousness is certainly filthy rags in front of the Father, but I still yearn to show Him my love through demonstration of obedient and right living. There must be a price for turning down the roles we are called to in this life. There is, does wood hay and stubble recall anything to memory?
There is nothing better than God’s intention for our lives. There is no treasure worth the hunt, no power worthy of wielding, no greater friend, no greater end and no cause deserving your investment. Arise and find God’s Word for your life. I pray for you that role which takes you beyond your capacity, stretches, teaches, imbues you with the Spirit filled power of Christ. May you rise above any limitations set by yourself, the world or the enemy, becoming icon for God’s miracles and healing. May every seed you plant be fertilized, watered, sprouted, grown and cultivated by the Word, which always produces bounty. May you be of immeasurable courage and faith in God, trusting in his to bring you through. May God bless and keep you in all that you do. In Jesus’s Name.
