Do Not Disturb
May 22, 2012
We put “Do Not Disturb” signs on our doors in hotels when we want to be left alone. We do the same thing on our heart when we do not want Jesus to come in and work on certain parts. What we need to realize is that Jesus has purpose in His work in our lives, even in discipline, and He chastens us because He loves us. Rather than continuing on in our own ways which are not working for us, we need to let Him into our hearts so that He can work on us and show us His way for our lives.

There are many people that you can get in a conversation wish that will question your beliefs and argue with you merely to take you out. While we can easily assume that these people would be unreligious atheists, sometimes it’s the most religious people that unrelentingly question the truth because they are too caught up in their traditions and rituals that they fail to see the light. While we should avoid these conversations because they produce no fruit, we also need to evaluate ourselves and make sure that we are not too caught up in our own ways and playing the devil’s advocate to what God may be trying to show us.

While there are many great moms in the world, there are also plenty of sorry mothers. These mothers have made huge mistakes when it came to raising their children. The fortunate part is that there is redemption. If you have made some big mistakes in raising your children, own those mistakes and confess it to them. You can still model to your kids, no matter how old they are, what it looks like to get your life turned around and live as a new creation in Jesus. On the other side of things, if your mom was a really great mother and you gave her a lot of grief, it is also important that you own your faults and apologize to her and tell her she’s done a great job. God can always work with softened hearts and are willing to let Him mold them and make some changes.

The story of Rahab in the book of Joshua is a great example of a woman who trusted God and turned her life around. She is described in the story as a harlot, yet she hid the spies sent by Joshua into the city and because of that her life was spared. Joshua and all the Israelites marched around the city as described in the story and when the walls fell down Rahab’s house and all who were in it were spared. Some things God asks us to do may seem very silly, but we need to trust that God has a greater plan in mind and when we obey Him we are taking part in His plan. Later in Scripture we read that Rahab is in the genealogy of King David, and most importantly of Jesus. Her faith and bravery can be an example to us.
