Our discussion on this final week was rich. What a wonderful journey this has been. Even more than before I want to have that
“One in a Million” faith that drives me to Promised Land living! I don’t want to live a life in fear, cowering
and unsure of where God is leading. But
there is only one way to remedy that: I
must spend time with Him so I can follow Him where He is going. I want to listen to, be influenced by, obey
God’s voice – not my friends, family or even my Bible study classmates. I don’t want to make excuses about why I’m
lagging behind. I want to be quick to
obey when I hear God speak. And, I’m
happy to say that I’m a bit faster to respond than I used to be. My most recent step of faith only took me a
day and a half to execute!
One thing I’ve learned over the last several weeks: you cannot enter the Promised Land if you’re
standing still. If you’re not moving with
God, you’re going nowhere. It’s never
too late to begin, so do it now! And the
Lord promises to restore the years the locusts have eaten! Hallelujah!
Another topic we discussed was that not everyone’s ministry
takes the same shape. Some are teachers,
others are sound booth guys, a number are custodians, several build websites,
others exercise stewardship over money and resources. There are lots of tasks to be done in the
body of Christ and every job is critical for the mission. The sum of our experiences prepares us to
serve. But remember that God qualifies
the called. He doesn’t call the
qualified – why would a qualified person need God? He will always stretch you. That’s how He shows up to accomplish through
us!
Thank you for joining me for Priscilla Shirer’s study “One
in a Million”. Be sure to come back next
week for another great study of God’s Word on prayer.
