Jesus like using different methods to achieve His desires. One day, He may use mud, the next day, He may use His hands. We know all He has to do is speak the Word, but sometimes, He likes to come and visit.
I sort of like the ‘method’ type. I like knowing that if I do ‘this’ then ‘that’ happens, but… it is something that I have to get over. I remember a few years ago, while trying to make things black and white, simple and without out effort, I proclaimed that I would do things a certain way. That way, I knew that I had achieved my goal when thing were completed. Like for example, I would rent a mobile home by three steps: give out an application and process it within two days, receive the first and last, and then deliver the keys to the new tenant. This process would give plenty of time to get everything done properly and in order. That was my decision.
Well, within ten minutes of that decision, some people drove up from out of town, needed a place to rent that night, had the money, had clean records, and the next thing I knew, they were in the mobile home for the night. The whole process took less than an hour. And these tenants were the least of trouble for two years or so. I would gladly give them a recommendation for their next dwelling place.
What happened to my ‘method?’
Well, methods may seem simple, but going with the flowing leadership of the Holy Spirit is much more productive than any man made law. May the Lord help us all to catch His moving and follow His leadings.
Be blessed
