1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Making Space Part Four of Twelve: Our Lives From Dust

Part Four of Twelve: Our Lives From Dust
Worse still, the church cries “feed me, feed me”, “serve me, serve me”, “do do”, “work work”. “Fill up the space, quickly, while you can”. “There is a need and you must fill it.” “The need is the call.” “Come work for the love we offer.”

We (the church) get the cart before the horse. It's not the intention to do harm. Like Paul we want to do good, we want to do what is right, but we do what is wrong instead. 

We call one believer or another to action, when God is calling them to stillness, to stop, to listen. Sometimes we even call the sinner to action. Without the power to fulfill God's plan we might as well build our lives out of dust for all the good it will do.

Now during this time of Lent, I am drawn to the story of Christ in the book of Luke just after the Holy Spirit descended upon Him on the bank of the Jordan river. It has been at the forefront of my mind for about a week.

The need was so great, the masses said, “feed me, feed me”, “serve me, serve me”, “do do”, “work work”, Jesus was quite capable of meeting the need. He could have set His hand to the work then and there. Yet He withdrew to a solitary place for forty days and He made space.
