What I Love About Sunday

Have you ever found yourself in a unique position that led to a chance at an opportunity you’d been hoping for? Recently I have found myself in such a position. This is an ideal opportunity, however, I am not sure its for me. I am trying not to get my hopes up. But every time I think about it, I get excited. I also get scared. This particular opportunity comes with huge responsibility and I’m not sure I’m ready for that. There is time for preparation. I want to take advantage of the preparation time in hopes that this opportunity is for me. No one has specifically presented this opportunity to me and this is why I am not sure its for me.

So, what should we do in this unique position? Do we simply hope, wish, and pray that God makes a way? Yes, of course we do these things, but we must also prepare as if its already ours. God asks us to do more than just talk about our faith, we must also walk out our faith. God didn’t just ask Abraham if he would sacrifice his son Isaac. Instead he led Abraham to prove that he was willing to do God’s will, even when he didn’t understand it. Jesus didn’t just ask the lame man if he wanted to be healed, He also told the man to get up and walk. We can pray all day long, but until we open our eyes to see the blessing before us, we will never truly believe that our prayers are answered. When we pray, we should do so, as though we know that God is already working on it. Writing this has helped me to see that maybe this really is for me. I have been praying for it, and I’ve obediently walked the path that has led me here. Now I need to trust God enough, to prepare as though its already mine.

I think a part of me is afraid to really believe that 1.) God has chosen me for this. 2.) That I am capable of this. 

How could I think so highly of myself to be worthy of this opportunity? I don’t trust myself. I know that God has been working on me in this area and there is time. Thank God for time!

I also realize that this time of preparation will bless others and so even if it doesn’t turn out the way that I hope for, the time will not be wasted.

May this bless someone who feels like they are on the edge of the lifetime opportunity that they’ve prayed for, but are too afraid to admit its for them. We all have our reasons to fear and doubt. But when we remember how good our God is, then maybe we can remember that He gives good gifts, not because we are good and have earned it, but because He is good always.
