25 Working
Against God
There are times when we
fight against what God wants for our lives.
Many pastors actually begin their ministry this
way. A great number of pastors start in
their 40's or 50's as a second career.
They describe how God was calling them for a
long time and they kept resisting and resisting
until they couldn't any longer.
We are all susceptible to
resist what God may have in store for us.
We believe God has our best interests in mind
but we worry about the specifics of those plans.
Doing what God wants requires sacrifice.
When we try to do our own
thing, we shouldn't expect to find success in
it. We may succeed for a short
time but when God is not behind us we can't
expect long term success.
It is amazing to think
that the God of all creation would have an
interest in us at all. Fortunately He
loves all of us and not only has an interest in
us, but a plan for us. When we seek to
follow God's plan, we know we are on safe
ground. |
