Father, we pray for intervention. Fix this, heal this, save me from this. Our hearts are sincere in wanting your intervention and your hand in our mess. We sometimes bargain—if only you’ll do this Lord then we’ll be better with prayer, obedience, bla bla bla.

If the prayer isn’t answered when we think it needs to be-we’re pretty upset. Confused. Angry. Sometimes these feelings aren’t in response to an unanswered prayer, but in general to something that’s happened…Family, health, career, finances, etc.

Many times however, it’s not something that is earth shattering in our world. It’s quiet and small: we feel insignificant, invisible. We do not feel like we have any of the spiritual gifts we hear of, no direction except the daily grind.

Did you give wonderful life paths and spiritual gifts to everyone BUT me?

Why does everyone speak of doing God’s will when I’m just trying to figure out if HE has a will for me!

 So..our main questions become: WHY and WHEN are YOU going to fix this? Provide direction?

We beg and claim we’ve given everything, we surrender. Do we really surrender? Our vision may be blurred….

This isn’t easy stuff for many of us. We may not even realize we haven’t given it all to Him. He’s waiting, urging, whispering to us to give up MORE of ourselves so He can do the work in us. We think we’ve given it up but deep within there is a small ringing that maybe, just maybe, there is more. More to relinquish. More to hand over.

Recently I was praying for more closeness, more direction and for a BOLD intervention from God in leading me. I remember saying I’m willing to do whatever He has in store for me, that I just wanted to do His will. I know He knows my heart’s desires and thought whatever He has in store should be wonderful, easy and a dream come true.

Well…it was in some aspects. Without even realizing it, I had become too cozy with the idea that I’m willing to surrender my life and follow Him—as long as I get to stay in a comfortable place. He called me into doing something that I never ever wanted to do. I just assumed He’d never ask me to do THiS since I didn’t like it.

Reality check!!!

How many times in His word are there stories of the faithful going down paths they never thought they would, never wanted to but in obedience did so for God’s glory?

YIKES…this means it may get messy. I may not like it. The end will be amazing—I know this. But the journey? There will be awesome days and others that I want to hide from.

But I’m the one who told the Father that I want to do His will. Whatever it is. It’ll bring me to a new place, a better relationship and blow my mind with the end result. But how much am I willing to follow thru on my end? Ever ask yourself this question?

Not always pretty but it does make us check ourselves. Maybe time to explore deeper…

Sounds easy but really give this some thought. We are willing to give only so much as long as He doesn’t require us to mess with certain things (comfy life, home, family, where we live, jobs, whatever).

A mediocre commitment to God means a mediocre life.

I want more than mediocre. I’ve had that for so long and it is boring! I’m ready to step into the deep waters for an amazing and ‘rock my world’ result!

Won’t you join me? We were created to bring Him glory with whatever He gives us. Let’s be open to being totally REAL and not a fake or partial commitment to Him.

Thank you Father for CHOOSING us and working all things according Your purposes.

Philippians 3:15-16   So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it.

 James 4:7   So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet.
