You’ve heard it said, heck we’ve all seen it proven that ten percent of a church body does the work while the rest….. I don’t know what the rest do, and I don’t want to waste time finding out. All I want is to hear Jesus speak to me. If I take my eyes off of Jesus I will drown.
I am convinced if we are all sitting on the edge of our seat with expectation, He is going to speak to us and tell us what is needed. And usually, if we’re really paying attention, he whispers something sweet and low ..”here I am” – r e l a t i o n s h i p.
Ah that’s the key. What is needed. Jesus has been teaching me so much about relationship which is very important from where I come from. I was born into a family and my parents did the best they could but relationship wasn’t encouraged. You could say we are the same as anyone that is born here on earth. Monkey see, monkey do.
Look at Adam and Eve, they were given this garden to walk and talk with God in and Satan comes along and tempts them to ‘DO” something. All of a sudden just being with God wasn’t enough.
It is all this doing that we do, that keeps us from Jesus and truly caring about one another.
Our human word, the one that trips us up because it sounds so dog gone necessary….

That’s right, most of the time we miss Jesus and everything he has for us because we are so high and mighty on the responsibility thing, the planning, the details, the lists.
If you want to get technical, the most responsible thing you can do is be “eternal” minded, and to be eternal minded you need a mind transplant, and for a mind transplant – it’s quite simple – you need to listen to Jesus. Only Jesus can reach in with his healing hand and turn our brains heavenward again. When he does – we are saved from the perpetual
do do do do do do do do do do do do do – you get the idea.
If you are planning something today and want God’s blessing, ask yourself this question: Was it His idea, or yours?
If it was His idea, how much of it did you decide to pump up, and why?
Be very careful you don’t plan God right out of the plan because if you do – there won’t be any relationship come of it at all. Even the smallest of things can take His glory away.
God has a plan, and He’s asked us to share it with others. The simpler we do that the better.. No, so and so isn’t going to pat you on the back, and maybe you who over there is going to scowl. You might look disorganized or artsy fartsy, but in the end it only matters what God looks like. It’s always been about HIM.
