The Chair

Ever feel like you're in a wrestling match with God? That's exactly how my morning started out. I won't go into great detail because I'm still sorting through everything, but I'm pretty sure I got hit by "the chair." You know, the device that's brought out in a match when the guy really wants to get his point across & let his opponent know who's in charge? I can't say that I've ever really watched a lot of wrestling, not really much of a fan myself, but I think I can relate to all those poor unfortunates who've been clobbered over the head with "the chair."

I even hesitate to write this because my spirit is still so unsettled...but I guess that's what happens when you've been completely knocked off your feet! Anyway, the following statements jumped off the pages of the book I'm reading:

There's something God wants you to do- not to sit back and watch Him do it or passively wait for Him to do, but a calling that God waits for YOU to embrace, pursue, and fulfill...How many times have we pointed to not knowing God's will for our lives as the reason we are paralyzed from doing it? If we are not careful we will find ourselves condemning God for being silent, when in fact we have condemned ourselves for refusing to listen.

Like I said, I'm still sorting through it all...but after reading those statements, I just felt like I completely got the wind knocked out of me. So where do I go from here? What's my next step?

Great question.
