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 (2002).
These five will submit one decision each day to those on the Internet to
decide for them what they should do. 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.

devotionals on a non-profit basis with source credited. The Burning Bush
website has been online since January 31, 1998. On June 8, 1998 the email
version of the Burning Bush Devotional was first sent. Ed Wrather began
writing devotionals in the early 1990s. The distribution of these first
devotionals was primarily through the Burning Bush Newsletter sent to prison
facilities throughout the United States and Canada.

Many prayer needs are posted at the Burning Bush website on the Prayer
Request page. You can also post your prayer requests there and they will be
forwarded to the Burning Bush Prayer Group (Of course, I am always in need
of prayer - please pray for me.).

If you are not my friend on facebook or myspace you can be, just add me. The
devotionals are posted in my blogs on those two social networks and you can
leave comments, feedback about them there. There are other social networks
designed just for Christians, however, this is an outreach project to reach
those who may not know the Lord or may have wandered away. You can help me
reach out to them.
