GET BUSY

PRAYER JOURNAL 5/29/19

James 1:22-24 But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourself.  For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in the mirror: for he observes himself, goes away and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

During this morning’s devotions: “STOP COMPLICATING THE ISSUE BY RESISTING THE SOLUTION.”

We have the “Head-Knowledge” down pat but most times, there seems to be a disconnect between our head and our hands. The answer to most of life’s problems is simple; it is the required action on our part that is difficult. 

QUESTION: How do I live a life pleasing to God?

SIMPLE ANSWER: Follow after the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

DIFFICULT ACTION: Deny my desires and follow after the Spirit.

QUESTION: What is the will of God for my life? How will I do the ministry God has called me into? When will I get my career break? God, what do you want from me?

SIMPLE ANSWER: Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.

DIFFICULT ACTION: Seeking God and accepting His answers, instead of messing things up by trying to figure out all the detail.

You can have the Faith to Move Mountains, but sometimes you have to grab a shovel and start moving dirt.  You may just have the Faith of a Grain of Mustard, but you need to plant that seed for it to grow and produce fruit.

God has all the answers to every situation, it is up to you to get busy and start cooperating.

STOP COMPLICATING THE ISSUE…YOU MAY AS WELL SURRENDER; RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
