"I LOVE keeping up-to-date with your blog . . . How easy it is to be “project-driven” and not “GOD-directed”. This is what Satan wants. He dangles exciting things to do before our eyes, and instead of asking GOD if this is what He has called us to do, we rush in because it is “down our isle”. The end result, as you so profoundly put it, is a trail of unfinished GOD’S BUSINESS. I thought of 2 things. Imagine if GOD was so busy creating the world, that He left off putting the sun in place, or the barriers for the waves. GOD was disciplined and HE completed all the tasks HE SET for each day. At the end of the day GOD’S results were “excellent in every way”. What a lesson for us to learn!! Beware of Satan’s traps! Only if GOD commissions us to a task will it count. The rest robs us of our eternal rewards.
Perhaps the words of Naomi to Ruth would go down well in our lives. If Ruth had made a rush at BOAZ, she would have BULLDOZED him right out of the way, and she would have missed out being part of GOD’S DETERMINED GENERATION ending with the MESSIAH. “SIT STILL, MY DAUGHTER . . .” What a marvel and a GIFT the WORD OF GOD IS! Imagine if HE was so excited to get to the next chapter and book, that He omitted to complete it!!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS ALL THOSE “RUTHS” AT “RUTH HOUSE” and I pray they will leave their “ROUGH ROADS” and journey toward their “RICH REWARDS” in JESUS!!"
Dr. Dawn's "sit still" reference is Scripture Ruth 3:18
