We are so oriented to quick response that we abandon the word from God long before he has a chance to develop our character.
God has a right to interrupt your life. His is Lord. When you accepted Him as Lord, you gave Him the right to help Himself to your life anytime He wants.
- What kind of assignments have you wanted the Lord to give you? Have you been frustrated or disappointed in this area of your life?
Big ones, important tasks and responsibilities. Yes. - Can you think of a time when God probably wanted to use you in an assignment and you chose not to follow His leading? if so, briefly describe the situation.
Not really. - Is the Holy Spirit saying anything to you right now about your character? If so, what is He saying?
Be patient, I'm not done yet. - Do your actions acknowledge Christ as Lord of your life? If not, what response do you want to make His claims on your life right now?
Most of the time - I hope.
