All knowing God. So, I definitely was presented a new opportunity today like you said. My first reaction was to absolutely dismiss it and say, NO WAY! But then I remembered what you said last night.
Is this the opportunity you were talking about? It seems so unlikely. I don't see any possible way how this thing could be turned into a blessing. But maybe that is the point? Maybe that is exactly the kind of situation, one where I can't see it turning out well, where you can show up and show how you can turn EVERYTHING to my good.
Or, is this not what you were talking about. If I look at this opportunity logically, I would be crazy to do it. It would be a lot of work that would make very little difference in the world. At least that is what it looks like to me.
So God, what do I do? I need to hear you really clearly on this. If you want me to do it, fantastic, make it really clear to me so I know I am doing your will. I will do anything that you want me to. If this is not something you want me to do, if it is a distraction, show me that really clearly as well.
God you tell me when I lack wisdom to ask for it and you will give it to me. God, I ask for wisdom. Help me to know your will in this. I really need your help God. I don't know what to do.
What God Said Tonight:
I told you it wasn't going to be easy. I told you it would stretch you. I told you that you would think that it was not for you.
This thing is not what it seems. This is a test and a time for you to remember your roots. It is a time and an opportunity for you to serve for the sake of serving. To be my hands and feet for no purpose other than I am asking you to.
It will make more sense soon. You know what I want you to do. You are resisting because you don't want to do it but you know what I want you to do.
You have a choice. You always have a choice. You can choose to do only the things that I bring you that you like. You can choose to only obey my will when it is in line with yours. Or, you can be a fully devoted follower of me and do what I ask when I ask it. The difference is a life of goodness vs. a life of greatness.
You were made for greatness and I can tell you that you will never be happy with less than. I can tell you that you are on the brink. Do what want. Choose comfortable, safe and good. Or choose, dangerous, uncomfortable and great.
I love you no matter what. I will be with your forever no matter what. I will never leave you, no matter what. So do what you want, remembering the regret of "what if?"
(2 Samuel 22:32-34 NIV) For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God? {33} It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. {34} He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.
