Tonight my friend Kelly was speaking at church. She said many great things and I totally felt the presence of the HS....but one thing she said really summed it up and is stuck in my head.....
"If you want God's hand to move, then start moving your feet"
See I want my niece (who has cancer) to be healed. I want her to be saved and I don't want her to die! So what do I do with my want? I think about God's healing....I try to pray....I ask others to pray...but the question remains...."Do I believe that God will heal her?" and tonight Kelly added a question to my bucket...."What do I do? What do I need to do to provoke God to action on her behalf?" Do I fast? Do I pray more? What is it?
I am hesitant to fast....not just because I like food (though that is a factor) and not because it is inconvient (THanksgiving, my friend's birthday, etc), but because I want to make sure that God is calling me to do it. See I haven't had the BEST experiences with fasting.....at least not that I remember. Most of the fasts I have done were more like I wasn't eating than I was seeking God instead of something else.....it was more like I was just suffering for suffering sake...not for Christ's sake.
If I fast or whatever I do....I want it to be real. I want it to MEAN something. It doesn't have to be" do this and I will do X", but I need to know that it is obedience for me now...whatever it is He is calling me to.....
Action.....a verb...something we DO! Hmmm, Move my feet....Lord, how do you want me to move?
