The correct answer...every time!


There will be times in life that God is going to ask us to do stuff that makes us uncomfortable and that we don't want to do. 

You have seen me write many times: when God calls, answer the call.  The more uncomfortable the call makes you the more important it is to answer the call because God has a new blessing He wants to lay on you if you'll let Him.

Well it is a great philosophy to live by but it isn't easy.  Human nature being what it is we try to rationalize why we don't need to act this time, etc.  Want to avoid all of that? 

Then make your response automatic.  Jesus, as always, set the example.  If we follow His example whenever God calls, I think things will work out just fine.

Matthew 26:39(NKJV)
39He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.

Feel free to tell God all about why He has the wrong person and how He must have made a mistake, but always end that conversation with "never the less, not as I will, but as you will."

As long as we put God's will first in our lives I believe everything will turn out just fine!
