Do we truly know our full capabilities? Who or what do we turn to when we become overwhelmed with life and our troubles and burdens are crushing us? At these times, we learn our limited capacities and realize we have worldly or Godly choices. The path to destruction or the way to righteousness? We must turn to our creator, whose capacities to serve and love are limitless.
As I finished the above paragraph, God planted another thought in my mind. The words I wrote are very reactionary. Why do we wait for trouble before talking with God? Wouldn’t it be easier to talk to Him, and when a problem comes, he’s already working on our behalf? The answer is yes. But how do people talk to a God they don’t even know? Those last 12 words are what this is all about, and I didn’t realize it until just this moment. Discipleship.
Have you ever wondered why, when missionaries go to third-world countries, they see things that are, by our standards, not humanly possible? What about the pastor who goes to the desert, prays, and fasts for ten days straight? How many of us think in our minds, “That’s not possible”?
Father God, show your path. Allow me to offer you my complete trust. Take away from my life those things that make me a hypocrite.
