It’s amazing how unappealing it appears on the surface. So, you want God to work in your life? Oh, you want Him to use you? Well, guess what likely happens next. First, you have to get nervous about what the ask will be. It could be something different from what you wanted to do. Worse yet, it could be something you really don’t want to do.  Maybe even something you are afraid to do.  Something you aren’t even sure you are capable of doing. Oh, and then you have to contend with Satan working against you, trying to interfere, to sidetrack you, to put you through trials and challenges. 

Let me get this straight. I am possibly going to be asked to do something far outside my comfort zone, and at the same time evil spirits are going to do everything they can to make me regret it? So why is the call still so irresistable? Because of two things. 1. Faith. 2. Amazing promises. I think there’s an old saying that anything free doesn’t cost enough to be worth it. Or something like that. If not, I’ll coin that one myself. Ha! The promises God makes to those who are faithful, who obey, who are diligent, far outweigh the cost of pursuing His will. I’ll admit though, as I’m preparing for whatever that might mean in my life, I’m a bit nervous about “the ask” and what it might entail, what the cost might be. It won’t be free.
