Sometimes I hold back from saying something because I’m not exactly sure how it will sound or how to say it. I might have a thought of something that should be said but decide not to because it might not sound the best. Maybe I have the thought to stop and pray for someone, an idea for my team, or something that should be said to someone we’re evangelizing to but don’t say anything. It’s time to get over myself.
I believe God gives me thoughts and ideas all the time. If those are from Him then I can’t hold them back.
How can I let my thoughts and concerns get in the way of what concerns God?
He’s focused on the kingdom and if that’s where I want my focus to be then I have to get on board with what He’s doing. If God wants to work in a person’s life and use me to do it then so be it!
As I was thinking about this, God led me to this verse.
1 Corinthians 2:1, 4-5 “When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.”
I don’t have persuasive words or a superior wisdom either. But I do have a testimony of what God has done in my life and I have the Spirit’s power within me. He’ll work in people’s hearts. I have to be obedient and say what He puts on my heart.
Are you concerned about the things of God? What might get in the way of you being able to focus on the things that concern Him?
Something to think about for sure.
