In the Quiet: Developing Trust and Finding Strength 35
Too many of us are in a hurry to do what we want to do, that we lose
sight of what God has called us to do – and sadly many of us will read
that sentence right there and see following Jesus as a punishment, but that
couldn’t be further from the truth! Each day we have an opportunity to
plant seeds and trust that God will produce Fruit! Each day we can walk
in obedience to Him, and watch Him multiply His kingdom!
Last year, in December, we had a potato drop. We have about 45,000
pounds of potatoes brought in so that we can give them out into the
community. It is an amazing opportunity to get to know folks, and spend
time with them. Well, one of the folks from church took some home to
give out to her friends and neighbors, to meet the needs that were there.
She also took a few of those potatoes and planted them in a small garden
area about 5 x10 feet. She just took a few, and from those few grew a
massive amount. She had no idea those few would sprout so many in
such a small space. I think we are like that quite often. We have no
idea what God will do through us, if we will simply give him the chance
to use us!
So, today, spend 5 minutes simply in God’s presence – you don’t need
to do anything or say anything. Then spend the next 10 minutes asking
God to show you where and how He wants you to follow Him. Don’t
stress if you don’t get a clear answer. That is okay. Trust that He is still
in control and He will guide you! But keep asking! Nehemiah prayed for
120 days before he was given the message of where to go! God is working
my friends!
Question: Do you believe that God can and will use you where you
are right now?!
