So it's been a little while since last I was here. That's ok. It's not like God wasn't working on me in the time that I haven't posted. In fact I wanted to share something that He showed me...
Last week we were dealing with some conflict, which happens pretty often around here, I was not quite directly involved so I was trying to help by listening and offering an outside perspective. While I was doing this God showed me something in very clear way. I saw myself sitting at the end of along dinner table, think 30ft. At the other end of the table was a beautiful spread of food. Turkey, all the trimmings, potatoes, dressing, etc. And right in front of me was a huge platter of poop! God then told me that too often I am willing to settle for the poop because it's right there. I don't want to press in to get to the really great things that he has for me. I don't want to let him take me to the other end of the table and eat the turkey. I'm happy where I'm at and I'm fine eating the poop.
Now and gross as that sounds it really is what we do. SO I have been trying to ask myself "what am I settling for that God doesn't want me to?"
It's a hard question, but I can't get away from it.
Maybe you need to ask that question of yourself? Where are you settling? In what ways are you content to eat poop ust because it's there?
I know that I really don't want to eat anymore poop! I know that what God has at the other end of the table is so much better. So let's stop eating the poop, and let God take us where he want's us to go. It might be scary, or hard or dangerous, but here's the cool thing...
When we are really following JESUS, HE gets everywhere first!
