July 16 Devotion

We’ve talked before about being convicted of something by God. Whether he’s telling us to stop doing something. Or maybe he’s telling us to start doing something. When God convicts you, he’s not going to stop until you act. And it’s your choice. You can act on it. Or you can ignore it. But I can promise you this, whatever you decide, God is not going anywhere. He will bless your actions. If that’s what he’s telling you to do. Or he is going to continue to work on your hearts. Never wavering. He’ll keep pecking away to get you to follow his commands. Until your dying day if so be it. 

We’ve also talked several times about God using us in ways we can never imagine if we let him. Even those of us that we think are nowhere near where we need to be in order to serve God. An example for you I want to share is from the movie Sounds of Freedom. I’m going to do my best to make my point without ruining the story for you. Barbara and I watched it. Believe me, it lives up to the hype. I made a comment about how somehow the movie makes you feel like you are part of the story. That’s pretty incredible for something that’s on screen to do. That’s my simple plug for the movie. But what does that have to do with my devotion! 

One of the characters in the movie was of “low” character. And I don’t say that lightly. But God convicted him. And he acted. And his actions were blessed. That’s all I’m gonna say about the movie. But just as he acted on God’s conviction, we need to get to the point where when God tells us to do something, we don’t hesitate. No matter how hard it may seem. No matter if the task looks impossible. If God is convicting you, the task can be done. I remember that day in church several years ago when he “attacked” my heart. It was very clear. He wanted us to act. So we did. And he blessed the efforts of everyone involved. To this day, he still is. Because the Holy Spirit is leading the way. And I’m not talking about me individually. I’m talking about the entire Charlie 22 Outdoors family. So today, take a look and see if God is convicting you of something. Is he telling you to take action? Or is he telling you to stop what you’re doing? Go to your knees and pray for strength if you need to. Because he will see you through. There’s a purpose here that’s going to show his grace and glory. And that…My friends…Is awesome!
