"Well done, good and faithful servant." Matthew 25:23
I had a feeling God was setting us up for something BIG, and of course, in this chapter He did. Today is a defining moment in our prayer circling journey. We are asked to move out of the circle into the real world. We are being prompted to action. I am pretty sure that most of us have at least one God thing that requires action, hands on activity, that we have ignored, failed to do, or just downright disobeyed His voice about. How many of our prayer requests are within our own power to answer? God is not honored by prayers that are within the realm of human possibility.
There comes a moment, and for some of us, moments, that become forms of spiritual procrastination. One of the great mistakes we make is asking God to do for us what God wants us to do for Him. Far too often we blur the roles. If we have it in our power to do, JUST DO IT! True Christianity is an action verb. At RCC, we were reminded that we. too, can have the same impact as the Church whose beginnings are recorded in the Book of Acts. What if we just did more, and quit talking about it.
Sometimes, I believe, we become intoxicated by our own voices. We talk to God, He listens, He hears us, THEN He talks back to us. What if we reversed even that during this prayer journey. What if we took time today and asked God, "What do you want me to DO today? And then set about doing it. God will tell us what He has already been goading us, provoking us, prompting us to do. Let's do it today. Let's continue our portion of the Book of Acts. When everything is SAID and DONE this is one commendation that we all want to hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
Don't just pray about it, do something about it."
