Are You Willing?
Now the Lord
had said to Abram: ‘Get out of your country, from your family and from your
father’s house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will
bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all
the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ So Abram departed as the Lord had
spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when
he departed from Har’an. - Genesis 12:1-4.
Five people in the United Kingdom have agreed to allow interested
Internet surfers to determine the decisions they make over the next 15 days.
These five will submit one decision each day to those on the Internet to decide
for them what they should do. You can help them make their decisions by
visiting http://www.liveyourlife.msn.co.uk (The is link no longer accessible.). Can
you imagine being willing, to do whatever the majority of random visitors to
the “live your life” website, votes for you
to do?
Perhaps, an even harder thing for some people to do, would be to
allow God to determine the decisions they make each day. What
if you were 75 years old, and God wanted you to move to another country; leave
most of your family behind, and start a new life? That is what God called upon
Abram to do. The most surprising thing about
that, is that Abram actually did it! Abram
did what the Lord God wanted, and it changed his life, and the life of all his
descendants.
Why should we choose to be more obedient to God than millions of
random people who visit an Internet Website? Because God will “bless” you, and
God desires the very best things for you. In contrast, other people have
their own backgrounds, and personal opinions as the basis for their guidance of
your life. God, however, always wants
the best for you.
What decisions would God have you to make today? If you are not
sure about what God wants, then ask Him. Are you willing to do what God says
for you to do? Are you willing? If
you are not willing to do what God wants, then pray, and ask God to help you to
become willing to be obedient to Him.

The Burning Bush websites are
celebrating 23 years online since January 31, 1998. Since June 8, 1998 the
Burning Bush Devotional has been spreading the truth of God's Word to subscribers
across the world. At one time there were 18,000 subscribers in more than 70
countries to the devotional but that has now shrunk to around 9,000.
You can leave comments/feedback
about the devotionals at http://www.theburningbush.net.
There is a translation tool on
theburningbush.net website in the top right-hand corner of all of the pages.
Check out the Scripture Index being constructed for the Devotionals at
the Burning Bush website. The Links are in about the middle of the home page.

Please pray for the coronavirus
COVID19 pandemic to come to an end. Pray for treatments and a cure for the
virus to be rapidly found and deployed. Pray for all those afflicted to be
healed and for our leaders to have supernatural wisdom and ability to lead us
through this pandemic.
Please pray for an end to the
rioting, looting, wanton destruction, and the racial hatred in the USA and that
it will be replaced with peace and love. May God help the USA! Many prayer
needs are posted at the Burning Bush website on the Prayer Request page. You
can also post your prayer requests there (Of
course, I am always in need of prayer - please pray for me. 03.18.18 I accepted the call to be the pastor of Fairview
Baptist Church in Elk City, Oklahoma. Please pray for me and for this church.).
