God has an agenda. He ALWAYS does! Our job is to
be fully in line with His and have NO form of our own mixed in with His.
God is faithful to work through what He's got to work
with to accomplish His agenda, yet many times He may just sidestep us
altogether. In fact, He tends to use the most unlikely to do His will.
Take Paul (Saul) for instance! He needed someone to
reach the Gentiles with His gospel, yet even
the qualified (His own disciples) weren't doing it! So He took THE most
unlikely character...not only one practically a Pharisee, but a persecutor of
the church, to accomplish His agenda!
God uses those whom are fully His (even if He's
gotta knock us off our...donkey first).
I've been faced in the recent past with choices
that would not seem to make sense to accomplish what I see God's will is. How
much of His agenda for the day is mixed in with mine?
Many times He'll put constraints on us that don't
make sense and so we have to make the choice - do we stay the course that makes
the most sense to us in order to accomplish "His agenda" or do we
stay within those constraints, yet faithful to the call?
"See that no one repays another with evil for
evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all
people. Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for
this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit; do not
despise prophetic utterances. But examine everything carefully; hold fast to
that which is good; abstain from every form of evil."(1 Thessalonians
5:15-22 NASB)
So let us empty ourselves of our fleshly ways,
desires, responses, and again walk fully in the Spirit, allowing Him FULL
access to accomplish His agend
