Noise From The Barnyard

This is where family and friends hang out and discuss world events, family happenings, valley news and things I'm "moosing" about.  It's the day to day across the fence chatter.

It's Just That Easy

I have a yahoo email account. For weeks every time I accessed it, a message box would pop up wanting to know if I wanted to increase the security of my inbox. Not having time to investigate I always answered "no" to the question that the end that implied I was an idiot if I didn't click yes. The question choices were "yes" and "no, I just welcome anyone that wants to hack into my inbox." Well it was not quite that bad, but close.

Today I decided to click on the button and see what it was all about. As soon as I did, a message box pulled up that "Thank you! Your security is now updated." BOOM! That was it! If I could reach that far around that I could've kicked myself a good shot, I would have. I must have said "no" a hundred times or more and was irritated that the message box just kept reappearing! How stupid of me to do that when it was such an easy fix. The key to my resistance was that I didn't fully understand or know what would be required to get the update. Turned out that all I had to do was agree and they did the rest. 

​How many times have I done this spiritually to God? He comes to me with something that He wants to do in me and offers to do it. At first I see it as an irritation more than a blessing. I don't like change! But He keeps coming and asking. Finally I realize that He is wanting to do something to bless me and I stop and take a look. I investigate it a little more and even though I don't know how He's going to do it or what it's going to entail, I click the "yes" box and He gets to work. I receive nothing but by His grace. It's all Him. I only need to agree to let Him do it. Before I know it, I am delighted with the results and if I could reach that far around would give myself a good, swift kick for not allowing Him to do it sooner.

What things is God offering you? Are you listening? Are you checking the "yes" box of His will for your life? I encourage you to. You won't be disappointed.
