There are certain things in life that we take on. It could be that it is something that is very important to us, that we are passionate about and is very close to our hearts.
It is very good to be dedicated to something you believe in. But what happens if it interferes with other things that are more important? Doing work for God’s kingdom is awesome and I can’t imagine not doing it. Moving closer to God and growing in your relationship with Him takes precedence over anything else. How can you lead other people to God if you are not at peace yourself? If the work you do for God draws your focus away from Him and the example you should set as His child, then it might not be the right place or time. Maybe it would be better to remove yourself from it until your peace and focus is in place again.
A wise man told me that the enemy will do everything in his power to attack you where you are most vulnerable. When you are moving closer to God. Bad feelings and emotions are never from God (as I am sure we all know).
(1 Corinthians 14:33) Lord I praise You that You have given me a sound mind. I lay claim to that this day. Thank You that You are not the author of confusion but of peace.
(2 Corinthians 10:5) I choose peace this day and worship You, the God of peace. Thank You that You enable me to cast down every argument and high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of You and bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ
Our first responsibility lies with our relationship with God and all it entails and only then can we take on the responsibility relating to other people given to us as fellow children of God. You can’t help other people if your own house is not in order.
Wishing you peace, happiness and the awesome passion that a close relationship with God gives you, in abundance!!!!!
