Acts 10:14-16New International Version (NIV)
14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
God says, Jonah....there are some people that I want to hear the good news...and he says, "surely not, Lord!!" God says, Peter, take and eat...and he says, "Surely not, Lord!!" God says...Sarah, you will have a baby and sarah says within her heart, "surely not, Lord!"
We have a hard time believing God don't we...?? Notice that most of us believe in God...that there is in fact a God...but we do not believe God or take Him at His word. Jonah believed that God would in fact save Nineveh...but he did not believe God that "such a thing" was good!! When God calls something good.....do you call it good? Seriously??? Honestly, I don't think that we can put on the robes of righteousness and claim to walk in the light as Christ is in the light until we take the Lord at his Word!! Are you ready to be redefined by God so that even when His ways don't make sense that you can say, "Amen" ???
Principle: When God's ways seem to be a bit unsure, it's the softened heart that's willing to be made pure! When we doubt God's truth and plan, we are surely trusting in our own feet to stand!!
Today...think for a minute that your life is over in a flash and that if you do not do things God's way..you are going to crash...Oh Jesus...please take the wheel and drive me home!!
