There comes a point in everyones life when they realize that things cannot continue as they are, for most people this happens many times, but ecspecially for the Christian. Today I came to one of those points.
I realize exactly the kind of Life that Christ has called me to, and if I'm ever going to have any chance of actually living it out change must come. Since the day I said "I do" to Christ life has changed for me in ways that I never imagined it would, magnificient, miraculous changes. When I tell someone my story 4 out of 10 times they cry, all because of the change that Christ has made in my life. Though the change can be painful, and discomforting it has always been good, He has always used it to bring me closer to Himself.
Today I realized another change is coming, one that will take me acting in obedience to His word and making a "radical" decision.
As of today I'm beginning a shopping fast... for one year.
I understand the impact that this change will have on my daily life, everytime I want something I grab my keys, get in my truck and go get it. No discipline required. For the next year that won't be an option. For the next year I believe that Christ will show me the extent of His provision, and that the full extent of what He wants to teach me I haven't even began to grasp.
So for the next year, you will not see me in a mall, thrift store, or outside the grocery section of any supermarket.
The Lord will is able to abundantly supply your every need....
It's time to trust Him to do so.
