Are You Ready for 2008

Are you ready for what God wants to do in your life in 2008?

What does this year hold? Where is God taking you? What is He asking you to do? What is He asking you to NOT do? Who is He going to bring into your life to bless you, teach you, and correct you? Who is He bringing into your life for you to serve, teach, bless, and correct? 

Are you OPEN to any of these things as God would give them to you? Are you absolutely closed to all of God's desires? Are you partially open to God's directions? Are you sold out to God's will for your life?

Is God calling you to be more, do more, experience more?

Are you ready for the adventure?

Too many of us are completely closed to God and His will for our life. We're consumed with selfishness and 100% bent on doing our own thing our own way and we don't give a rip about God or what He wants. Are we ready for the consequences of this decision, both in this life and the next?

Many of us are willing to acknowledge a belief in God, but we still want to be in charge of our life and do what we want, how we want, when we want. God is just a minor character in the musical of our life. Are we ready for the consequences of this decision? Do we realize we're robbing ourselves? Do we realize that God longs to do so much more in our life and through our life? How can we become so self-absorbed and thus blind to the reality that we are not the biggest and most important character in this musical? We don't know it all! We can't do it all! We can't be it all!

But, are we being all we CAN be? Are we living the adventure that our life is meant to be in following God? Are we hearing God speak? Are we seeing God move? Are we seeing the miracles and answers to prayer? Are we seeing peoples needs met and lives changed?

At what point do we become dissatisfied with nominal and humdrum? At what point do we become heart-achingly disturbed at our lack of God's presence and activity in our life? At what point do we get fed up with having just man-sized results that we can accomplish in our own strength? At what point do we get sick of all the self-absorbed drama and break out into a full and whole life that is no longer just lived in my comfort zone and security?
