Consequence

Kind of following up on the whole put you trust in God and not man thing, here is an interesting quote to consider today.

Yep, how about we ‘Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.’  I think we would find that maybe the consequences are actually more of ‘unexpected surprises’!

“Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” John 14:23 NIV

Change of Seasons

I am being overcome with this insidious desire to do.  I think over the last few years I have been very much in a season of  watching, observing and listening.  It seems like we talk about the same thing at work, we talk about the same things at church, we talk about the same things at home, but the forward progress is sometimes hampered by all the noise.

This morning I popped open my browser to this verse:

“Obey God’s message! Don’t fool yourselves by just listening to it.” James 1:22 CEV

It seemed like a fitting thought for the day.  We can not fool ourselves into just being a spectator and expecting things to be the way we want them to be.  We must obey – we must do.  Sometimes we are convinced that the message of God is not a message do not, but I firmly believe the message of God is a message of Do!

I hope this begins to move me into a season of focused doing ( not busyness!).  At least it will help motivate me today!

Consider how you are responding the mercy and grace you have been giving today  – go , do!
