What Are You Waiting For?

My Utmost For His Highest
 
‘We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do. We cannot save nor sanctify ourselves— God does that. But God will not give us good habits or character, and He will not force us to walk correctly before Him. We have to do all that ourselves. We must “work out” our “own salvation” which God has worked in us (Philippians 2:12). Add means that we must get into the habit of doing things, and in the initial stages that is difficult. To take the initiative is to make a beginning— to instruct yourself in the way you must go.’ CHAMBERS
 
What is it that you are waiting for?  Do you know what God wants you to do, but then you are waiting for Him to divinely intervene in your life so you can do it?  You have a long wait, my friend.  I have had many people say that they would love to serve like we do.  I ask, “If God has called you, why aren’t you?”  They say “Because we own a house.”  I say “Sell it”.  That normally ends the conversation. They have the opportunity to obey God, but they don’t want to do what they perceive as the “hard things”, they just want Him to make it happen somehow.  They have a long wait too.  In fact they will wait a lifetime unless they have a change of heart and mind.
 
How about you?
