WILLINGNESS

Have you ever been faced with a task which you dreaded? That task could be as complicated as traveling to a far city for a week’s stay to participate in a family reunion. Or it could be as simple as finally getting around to cleaning out the oven. No matter what the task, you know the Lord is directing you to do it and do it you must.

What can you do, though, with that feeling of dread and distaste?

First, commit the situation (and your dread) into God’s hands.

Second, ask God to:
“Restore to me the joy of salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.” Psalm 51:12

If God calls us to do a task, let’s lift our feet and march forward - with the willingness He can instill within us.

Heavenly Father, Thank You that I don’t have to live my life in dread but in obedience to You and in willingness to please You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
