Have you ever thought about how inconvenient it is to follow God? His plans and timing never seem to be the same as ours! And there’s usually a cost or sacrifice to follow Him.
Every hero in the Bible could say the same thing. Their “normal” got turned upside down the minute God invited them to obey.
“Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord…God told Noah to make an ark…and bring into the ark two living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.” Genesis 6
That was quite an inconvenient request. Build a huge boat. Gather animals. Live with the animals. Endure the storm of a lifetime. Wait for the rainbow. That was quite an interruption to Noah’s normal life.
I don’t know what obedience looks like in your life today. But it probably looks inconvenient and unexpected. But you can trust God anyway.
When you can’t figure out the future. When you can’t understand what He’s doing. When your “normal” gets knocked sideways.
God will see you through. He will honor your faith. He has a plan, and it is good. Don’t settle for normal when God is inviting you into more. – Sandi
