I feel strongly that the Lord is wanting His people to go deeper with Him. Go deeper in our understanding of who HE IS through reading His word, the Bible. Go deeper in understanding who WE ARE in Him. Go deeper in understanding our call to preach the gospel to others and how we do that through the unique gifts He’s given us.
We are in the last days and we need to be about the work He has laid out for us individually. If you are a Christian, whether you are a carpenter, teacher, parent, doctor, businessman or businesswoman, the Lord has work for you to do in that field…in that place where He has called you.
He knows every struggle, every pain, the chaos of your busy schedule, the mountains and valleys of your life and calls us to
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
Where are working and are heavy ladened? Where are we striving? I suggest that it is because we (myself included) are working in our own strength. We get tired, beat down, and frustrated because we are operating on our own strength. He wants us to CO-LABOR with Him. He is the driver and we are the passenger on this road of life.
He directs, leads, and brings us to where we need to go. Our part is to follow His lead and DO THE THING He is calling us to do. For me that is communicating His word through worship, teaching, speaking, and writing. What is He calling you to do? Lean into Him and lean into the thing He is leading you to do.
However, know that in order to lean into the thing God is calling you to do, you must first LEAN INTO HIM…Go Deeper. Go deeper doesn’t mean adding more time to your prayers or to your bible reading (though at times that may be required).
What I am talking about is when you are praying and reading your bible to go slow and lean into the Holy Spirit. Allow Holy Spirit to teach you the meaning of the passage you read and how it applies to your life. If it’s something you need to apply then begin applying it. The key is to go deep with your relationship with the Lord.
I love hearing how God leads His people so please share in the comments what the Lord is leading you to do or how you are going deeper with Him.
