Don't Miss The Small Stuff

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".

Join the Yes Girls

Through my daily Bible reading and devotionals the topic of obedience to God, as well as finding and following God's purpose for me, keeps coming up over and over again. 

Because of this, I have chosen to follow the Proverbs 31 online bible study based on the book "What Happens When Women Say Yes to God" by Lysa TerKeurst.  I recently read this book on my own and loved the things I learned about myself and my relationship with God in its pages.

Now I am looking forward to getting deeper into it (along with almost 22,000 other women from 120 countries!)

According to the Proverbs 31 Ministries website, through this online Bible study you will learn to:
  • listen for His voice and discern what He is asking you
  • see how wholehearted obedience honors His presence in your life
  • give yourself to Him and let Him affect lives around you in amazing ways

If you are ready to say "YES" to God, I invite you to join me in this online Bible study.  It's completely free to sign up here: http://proverbs31.org/online-bible-studies/.  

All you need is a copy of the book, a notebook/journal, a pen (or two, or ten - if you're like me!), and a willing heart and mind.  This bible study is flexible to fit into your schedule! 

I'm saying "Yes"... won't you?
