This question has come up in some way for the past couple of months.

”Jump off the porch”…..”Just do it”. 

These have been the responses and encouragement from friends. This morning in conversation the question “what are you waiting for” came up. Laughingly my boss told me to make sure I post this one. 

How many of you have asked God for a sign? “God send me a sign if this is what you want me to do”. 5 signs later and we’re still like “God send me a sign”. Even after all the signs we still go to everyone else for their confirmation, encouragement and validation. 

I often say I have delayed obedience. How long can we delay obedience? Why is it that when a random person asks us to do something we instantly agree. We rarely ask any questions. It’s immediate obedience. Yet, when it comes to God we get to bargaining and telling Him under what circumstances we will be obedient. 

There is no reason I should be dragging my feet. I should have moved the first time He gave me the assignment. 

What’s the thing you know that you know you should be doing? What are you waiting for? We live life with a lot of audacity. We have the audacity to tell God when and how we will do things. 

My prayer today is that we will be obedient. That we have a “we get to” attitude when it comes to being obedient to God. We’ve been cleared for take off and we’re just sitting on the run way. Help remove the fear that is preventing you from taking action.
