Really, no really? God you want me to do what?!

OK more often than not lately I find that to be the question of my mind: "Really, no really? God you want me to do what?!"

While reading His word, while praying, while driving, while sitting at a Bible study, heck for that matter while taking a shower I find God speaking to me. And listening and obeying is more often than not totally crazy and in left field. But then time and time again when I do obey who ever else is involved reaffirms for me the situation and I know without a shadow of a doubt it is God working in my life and theirs. Sometimes the "tell them..." is really me needing to hear it for myself out loud so I tell someone else and light bulb goes on in me. Sometimes it's so random I think "This person is going to think I've lost my mind..." but then they say "I really need to hear that."

But I go to bed after hearing Romans 12:1-2 tonight comforted that I am seeking His will in my life.

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God -- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind...." Romans 12:1-2

This body, this mind is not my own. Bought and paid for by the blood of Christ on the cross and that's something I don't take lightly. I can no longer live each day as if it doesn't matter as if who I am and what I do is pointless. I know at some point when I think "Really, no really? Did I just do that?" more than a someone (probably a "some alot") will think I've lost my mind and I'm too radical. Reminds me of a song "I'll become even more undignified than this!"



So my what if question tonight is "What if you started truly seeking Him? What if you started not always talking to or at God but sat still and listened more? And what if when you listened and heard His voice you actually followed through with things?"

What if IT changed your life?

Life is good, God IS better!!
