Are You Ready for Some...Sacrifice?

“May my prayer be set before you like incense;

may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.”

Psalm 141:2

Someone once said – with tongue planted firmly in cheek –

“When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

We have all had moments in our lives which are critical decision points – a crossroad.

Perhaps, like our local church family, you are facing one right now.

Go left, go right, keep straight or turn around!

There are as many opinions as there are options – sometimes even more.

So what do you do?

I think you weigh carefully what others have said but always, at those crossroads moments, you bring your concerns before God.

You press in in prayer, perhaps even fasting to hear more clearly and to help sift out distractions.

If you believe that He truly has good plans for you individually and for your church corporately then you certainly want His direction.

But be warned...

It may go against the tide.

It may go against conventional wisdom.

Sometimes it even defies ‘common sense’.

But if God is directing then it is the best course.

Hands down!

So let’s do that – let’s press in in prayer.

Lets’ fast and lets seek His path and the steps He has ordered.

He may even require some sacrifice in order for what He requires to take place.

Are you ready?

Let’s go...
