Obedience without question. That is hard to do. This weekend I had an opportunity. Just a small encounter where I felt God directing me and I hesitated. Not long and I did complete the task but that small amount of hesitation caused me to miss a blessing. I missed the chance to see a smile and that made me wonder.
How many times has God called me to do something and I missed it? Maybe by a little or maybe a lot. What a realization that if I would just obey immediately I would have the opportunity to not only bless but be blessed and further the kingdom of God just a little bit.
It made me think how frustrated I get when my kids don't immediately obey what I ask of them. I wonder how frustrated God gets with me. All because I waited. I waited to keep from stepping on someone's toes or I was scared. And I missed it. I missed the opportunity. How sad God must get when we miss a divine appointment and someone else has to do what we should have.
I'm praying for eyes to see and courage to act more quickly when I feel God's quiet prompt. Not to run ahead looking for something but to just be focused on Him so when He says move I move. Just trust and obey. That's all He asks.
