Options

I’m blogging cause I feel like God is calling out to me. What does God want me to do? That’s the selfish question I ask myself all the time. What is God’s doing? Is the question I should ask myself. You see it’s about God, not about us. It is what he wants to do in the lives of others through us, not what he wants to do in our lives. Cause truly its life that he shares with us. Without God we are meaningless and life itself has no purpose, no destination, and no meaning.

John 15:5 says “I am the vine: you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

Apart from God, Ron Wahl can do nothing. Put your name in that verse. You can do nothing apart from God. Our God loves his creation so much he even takes care of the unsaved, the people that don’t follow him, even the people that don’t believe he exist. We can do nothing without Him. He gives us our next breath. So life isn’t ours to live it as we please and take advantage of God’s grace. We should not be so selfish, worrying about what God wants to do in our lives. We should rather be looking for what he is doing and join him and as he works through us. We will then see clearly where he is leading us, And the great plans he has for us, but we must first seek him out. Then we must find out what he is doing, and join him, and this can only be revealed to you by seeking Him in perseverance. Once God has revealed what he is doing, or what he wants you to do. You have an option to join him in what he is doing, or wants to do through you. Your other option is to ignore Him. And this is were I have been for a few years now.

I came across this passage….

“I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. But my people would not listen to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices. If my people would but listen to me, if Israel would follow my ways, how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes!” (Ps. 81:10-14)

I’ve felt called to go into the ministry for years now. What this says to me is that, If I do not submit, God will allow me to follow my own devices. In following them, I will never experience what God wanted to do through me for others.

That just drives me insane, with the worldly view I have from living in this place. I am so stubborn. To submit to God, and to trust him to take care of everything, when it comes to money and getting through school, scares me. But He says “If my people would but listen to me.”

I can’t deal with living my life the way I have anymore. I’m not going to miss out on what God wants to do, and do through me. Cause how quickly will he use me? I can’t die in this place knowing, I could of made a difference in people’s lives for eternity, and didn’t because I was scared, or lazy. It’s time to step up in faith, and carry my cross!
