Good Tuesday morning! Have you ever tried to push something along in your life? You know that God has great plans for you. However, you don't know exactly how the plans will be fulfilled, and so you start pushing where God says to wait. We know that is called impatience and even disobedience. Yet we still catch ourselves doing such things while letting other areas, the ones where God says "do", slide. How did we ever get into such a horrible condition? Of course, the answer is sin; that rebellion against God begun way back when Eve first reached for that forbidden fruit. We feel the pull away from God that Adam first felt when God first asked "why are you hiding back there?" What did Adam do when his sin could not be hidden from God? He pointed his finger away from himself, "it wasn't my fault!" We feel that pull too.
Jesus told us to be at peace and then gave us his peace as well. This peace comes from knowing that even when we mess it all up by doing what we shouldn't and not doing what we should, God forgives us by the grace of Jesus Christ. You may be tempted to just do nothing when faced with the possibility of messing it all up, but that only covers half the problem. The sin of not doing what we know that we should be doing cannot be solved by doing nothing. Jesus told us that we must each be quickly about doing the work assigned to us. Learn or find out what your assignment is, and get to it! Bring glory to God our Father!
