We serve a God who outrages the tidy-minded!

For all you ‘a-place-for-everything-and-everything-in-its-place’ people, who hate last minute decisions, who get frustrated over changes in procedures they feel comfortable with… I sort of apologize for that statement above. Sort of…

However, God does at times mess with our concept of ‘tidy.’

This very well could be the time in God’s economy when new, unexpected and a bit of messiness might be necessary.

Could you break your routine if God directed you to a person who desperately needed your life’s story at that moment? Would you miss today’s time at the gym if God had an assignment for you?

How apt are you to say “Here am I Lord. Send me” and not add a handful of contingencies and appeals like “Could it wait until next month; I might have some free time then!”

If God has any opportunity to combine his will and your availability and unique gifts and fulfill an assignment that He feels has your name all over it, just let Him do it.

Ponder Psalm 119:32 from the Message:

“I grasp and cling to whatever you tell me; God, don’t let me down! I’ll run the course you lay out for me if you’ll just show me how.” Psalm 119:32 MSG

You are never more secure and under control (of God) than when you allow God to ‘mess’ with your life. Nobody can call the shots to reap the greatest rewards than your Heavenly Father! 

“Without any hesitation I hurry

to obey your commandments.”

Psalm 119:60 GW
