What If...

By now, we all are aware God is trying to communicate something.
Or maybe you are too self absorbed to think that it's just another challenge, you'll figure it out...mmh!

But,
what if,
What if like the Israelites in the wilderness this goes on and on until we embrace obedience...

What if like Sodom and Gomorrah it's a time to turn away from our wicked ways...

What if like Cain it's a time to offer our best in  worship...

What if like Eve it's a time to think through the  choices we've made and live with the consequences...

What if like Sarah it's a time to hope against hope that God's promise for our lives will come to pass and avoid the temptation to do it our way...

What if like Esther it's a time to rise up as leaders, get on our knees, dare to face our fears for the sake of our nation and our loved ones...

What if like Hannah this is a time to desperately petition for what our hearts deeply desire...

What if like Moses this is our burning bush experience, a time to say yes to God or to turn away from His will...

What if like Pontius Pilate this is a time to realize that we are not in a power struggle and give up the fight...

What if like Nebuchadnezzar this is an opportunity to repent from abuse of power and authority God has given us and get our act right...

What if like Joshua this is a time to gather all  strength and courage for our next assignment...

What if like Mary ( Jesus's Mother) this is the beginning of carrying the miraculous and letting go of every plan we had in mind for our lives...

What if like the disciples this is the time to not just preach the sermons we've heard from Jesus ( in this case from our Pastors and church leaders) over the years but more so to live them out...

What if like Simon Peter the question we all need to answer Jesus is,"do we love Him?"

What if like Elijah this is the time to call down fire from heaven on behalf of our nation...

What if like the woman with the issue of blood this is the time to fight for our survival no matter what it takes...

What if like Joseph (Mary's husband) this is the time to trust that God's will is worth the pursuit
even when we feel thrown off completely...

What if!
What if!
What if!
What if this is a wake up call from getting used to life as normal,
What if this is a reminder that life is in the things we perceive as little
What if like Jesus, this is the time to say,"not my will Father, but your will be done! "
What if what's going on through your mind right now is God’s leading...

( In a soft tone)
What if
What if, is something we all need to figure out...
