Doing What I'm Told

13But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you.

14For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to come even as far as you in the gospel of Christ;

2 Corunthians 10:13-14

We won't be accountable for the work that needs to be done, we'll be accountable for doing the work God called us to do. If we go on missions, provide help for millions but fail to take care our family's needs, we have failed. When we delay in God's works because we're trying to plan every single detail instead of stepping out in faith without hesitation, we fail. God wants us to do according to His desires so that our boasts are in Him.

I try to go way beyond my calling. I think too much and that reveals my selfishness. In my marriage, I'm thinking of how u can do this or that but what God instructs is for me to love my wife. In ministry I try to perfect all notes and harmonies but He just wants me to lead in heart worship. In my small group I look to having every fact straight instead of hearing what others are saying. I need to be preppared but free to allow God's Spirit to flow.

Thank You Jesus for being a God that frees us from anxiety and counter-productivity. You want us to move when called and I pray I'm getting more obedient day by day. Love You Daddy! Amen!
