Delayed Obedience
For a long time, I have felt led to write. But my indecisiveness has gotten in the way. I wrestled with questions like Am I worthy enough? Why would anyone want to read my words? Surely I’m not holy enough . The funny thing is that the Bible shows over and over how God uses broken inadequate people to further His kingdom. Sometimes when I tell my teen to do something, I’m met with a disinterested “ok” and nothing happens. My request goes ignored until I resort to more reminders and threats of punishment. Delayed obedience is disobedience. Read that last sentence again. When God calls me to do something and I drag my feet, I’m being disobedient. It doesn’t matter that I feel unworthy or unqualified. It doesn’t matter that I am not sure where to even begin. What does matter is that I’m willing to let God use me as He see fit. How does God want to use you?
