It doesn’t take too long to assess that we have… “some issues”.

 

Watch a political advertisement, listen to a song, turn on the news.

 

We have lost our way.

 

And it has ALWAYS been that way.

 

But here is the TRUTH.  We are not very far from being VERY GOOD…..and it has ALWAYS been that way as well.

 

We just simply need to put things in order.

 

You see…..timing and alignment and order are EVERYTHING.

 

Football coaches know this…..because football is truly a game of inches…….

 

In fact, I am guilty of always sarcastically telling my team:

“Changing that won’t make THAT much difference.  It is just the difference between a sack for them versus a touchdown for us….but it won’t make that much difference.”

 

Timing and alignment and order in football are EVERYTHING…and it works like that in the faith as well.

 

Jesus Christ led the most compelling life in the history of all mankind…and if you want to be bought in hook, line, and sinker….then I will encourage you to open the book of John and truly press in and read about Him.  He will change your mind on all things…..

 

I know this….because if He can change my mind—then He can change yours—because mine is the most stubborn, double-minded, hypocritical, negative, and depraved mind that you will ever meet…..

And today…..I will simply say to you this:

 

Don’t ask God, “why can’t I do this?” or “Why would a loving God allow this?” or “Why is Jesus the only way?” or any other of the questions that you might have piling up……because that approach will not work….and even Jesus says this:  IT WILL NOT WORK.

 

Jesus makes some reference to this in Matthew 6:33 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

 

We are not a lost cause….we are simply OUT OF ORDER.  We do our stuff—and we ask Him to come and join us in it…..what we really need to do is HIS stuff….and follow what He is trying to do.

 

It is a simple concept:

Seek First His Kingdom and His Righteousness, just as we say in the Lord’s Prayer:  

Thy Kingdom Come

Thy Will Be Done

On Earth As It Is In Heaven

 

And with this:

I want to lay down today the 20 Day Challenge

 

Seek Him and Him alone

Proclaim To Him:  “Your Kingdom Come, Your Desire Be Done, On Earth as You Have It In Heaven.”

 

And begin to walk out your day belonging to Him.

And give Him everything…..Good and Bad.

Lay it down at His feet.

 

It is a simple thing really….but God asks us for simple things.  

 

Align Your Life To Follow Him ALONE.

And ask your questions second.

 

I GUARANTEE YOU, IT WILL BE THE BEST DECISION THAT YOU HAVE EVER MADE.
