Apathy or expectancy?
If you want see the view, then you're going to have to climb the mountain.
This morning praying with Jim and we realised that we have slipped into some 'apathy' about a few things. And when we slip into that place, there is a sense that we have given it over, or left it for God to do with a come what may attitude, instead of stepping out, preparing, planning and advancing in our heart and mind when He has already given us the yes and amen and He is waiting for us to step into it.
I believe too many of us leave it up to God, give it over to God, in a sense abdicating the authority He has given to us to rule and reign and take dominion on the earth.
A word that I have heard being given to the body of Christ of late is to 'wake up' but what does that look like on a day to day basis. And for myself it's the faith, the action and the expectancy, all coming together from a place of 'rest' and 'trust' in God, that there is a yes and amen as we step out in faith on the promises of God and on his word.
Faith is not worrying about tomorrow but stepping out in faith in tomorrow, knowing that He has our days in His hands. That we may not make all the right moves, or the right decisions but trusting that our heavenly Father knows that and he has already made a way in our 'mistakes' or our learning and that he is working all things together for good.
Our days are in His hands, the outcomes are in His hands, our job is to rejoice and live in the days that are in front of us, preparing and walking with expectancy, but trusting and knowing that if it's His will, we will do this or that.
