"Therefore, in the present case I advise you; Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourself fighting against God."
Acts 5:38-39
I'm gonna make this short and sweet today. Posing the very simple question, what in your life is God's purpose and activity and what is yours?
"For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail."
This simple statement leaves me awfully convicted. I began to think of all the things that I want to do, the way I think things should be done. I don't want human origin. I want God origin. God design. I don't know about you but I don't love failing. So I think today I'm going to re-evaluate the things I've got going on in my life that have stemmed from me and not from God. What do you think? You have some stuff?
"But if it's from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourself fighting against God."
Romans 8:31 says, If God is for us who can be against us. When we choose to listen and obey what God has for us I think sometimes we forget He totally has our back. I know I so often forget that He's the light of the world, the creator of the universe, and in so doing I limit His capabilities. So after I remove God from the box I just put Him and remember that if He asks me to do something, if He calls me to something the chances of success are quite great right?!?!?!? All I'm saying is I just don't want to continue to limit God in my life. I don't want to limit His power in me, around me, and in the things I do in my life. If He is asking me to do them well for goodness sake He's gonna be there with me.
God I just pray that through our lives of obedience that we will not be able to be stopped because our lives are a testimony to your power and your will. AMEN.
