While working on my online Bible study through Proverbs 31 Ministries for the week, this statement jumped out at me:
'Radical obedience to God takes place in the everyday mundane things'
What are we missing everyday because we're too busy looking for the big, life changing, earth shaking, history making things?
Colossians 3:23 tells us, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters" (NIV)
Everything matters.
God will use what ever He calls us to do for His glory.
Whether its being a missionary, a minister, or a mother.
Whether He calls us to feed orphans, work in the corporate world, or fold laundry.
On some level in His plan it's all life changing, earth shaking, history making, BIG stuff.
God uses all of us in different ways. He calls ALL of us. Are we listening? Are we obeying?
"I called you so often, but you wouldn't come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention. You ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered". ~ Proverbs 1:24 (NLT)
I don't want to be the one who misses it when He tells me to do something.
I want to be the woman who pays attention.
The one who takes the direction and correction.
The woman who says "Yes God - whatever you want".
