Are you really ready? You say that you are ready for God to move in your life. You say that you are ready to do a great work for Him. You say that you are ready to move forward with Him but are you really ready?
Are you ready for the obstacles you will encounter? Are you ready for the attacks that will come your way? Are you ready to be lied on and talked about? Are you ready to lose "self" in order for you to truly represent God.
The Bible says we are to count up the cost. We have to know and realize serving God is not an easy road. Why do you think He told Moses to leave everything he knew so that he could get everything he had for him.
Sometimes you have to disengage. To disengage means to separate, release, detach, and disentangle. Sometimes you are tangled up with the wrong people, places, and things.
Understand, serving God requires you to let your flesh die. The things you used to do, you can't do anymore. The things you used to say, you can't say anymore. Remember, God looks at the "intent" of your heart. So whether it comes out of your mouth or not, GOD KNOWS!
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
1 Samuel 16:7
King James Version (KJV)
But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
