February 13th 2012

Yesterday we talked about how God does not want us to sin against those who are sinning, but this doesn’t mean that we’re supposed to just sit around and watch it.

Read James 2:14-17 and journal your thoughts

We’ve been discussing how when we are waiting on God we’re not just supposed to sit back and not do anything but that we called to keep working. The problem for us is that sometimes it is easy for us to simply turn a blind eye to the problems of the world. When we see someone holding a cardboard sign on the side of the road begging for food, it’s easy to struggle through those awkward for minutes where we pretend not to see them.

Sometimes when we see a situation like that it’s easy for us to pray and wait for God to do something for that person. But what if God is simply waiting on you to take care of them? What if in all the time we’re waiting for God, God is actually the one waiting on us? It’s like an awkward conversation where we’ve missed our cue that it’s our turn to talk. If we’re not really listening to the conversation, then we’ll miss it.

Today pray that God would speak loudly and help you to see those moments when He’s waiting on you.
