Daily Devotional April 24 - Don't Wait

• "Don't wait to say Yes to God.
• Don't wait to call whomever God has put on your heart.
• Don't wait to pray for whomever God has placed in your heart.
• Don't wait to forgive someone.
• Don't wait to ask forgiveness.
• Don't wait to confess to God whatever He is asking of you.
• Don't wait to spend quantity time with your kids.
• Don't wait to love on your wife.
• Don't wait to mend fences.

These are just a few of the things God is speaking to you about. By waiting to move on what God calls you to, or making excuses why you can't come when you are called, you tarnish God's image.

If you moved when you were called by God, those who did not come when they were called would have had far less excuse. If you were answering God's call to follow Him every time you heard Him, there would be far less unanswered issues in life:

• You wouldn't be without understanding
• Your bills would be manageable
• You would be helping others when they are in need
• Those within your sphere of influence would have their needs dealt with
• Others prayers would be answered because you are interceeding on their behalf
• You would learn to pray in the will of God so you are not so disappointed all the time when what you prayed for didn't come to pass
• Your testimony of God working in your life and your doing the works of God sends out a far better message than sitting on you laurels, expecting someone else to do what you were called to do.

I'm certain that this is not a popular message, but there comes a time in all of our lives when we need to start working with God instead of bucking against the goads."
