Ready for Restoration? UPDATE
God's Shoe... OOF!
Ready for Restoration? The Revelation of God’s Plan in Your Surrender
(Book Release Date: July 29, 2024)
My readers, my friends,
Chapter 3 opens a window into a tough phase of my journey to restoration, a time when I was so wrapped up in my own world that I couldn’t even hear God’s call. Some folks hear Him loud and clear and take off in the other direction, like Jonah, but me? I was oblivious. Imagine your kid blasting music so loud they can't hear you calling them to dinner. That was me, spiritually speaking.
Now, have you ever looked your mom in the eye when she called you and just walked away? I bet you didn't do that twice. Why? Because you got the shoe! Wham! You learned to come when called real quick, didn't you? But if you think Mom’s shoe was bad, wait until you get God's wake-up call. Oof! He might not knock you out, but He’s got no problem throwing the defiant into the belly of a smelly fish.
Application to Your Situation
You say you want restoration, to climb out of that pit, but how are you living your life? Are you listening for the call that can lift you out of those dank, dark, depths, or are you having too much fun messing around in them? Or worse, do you recognize the call but ignore it because you’ve got some feelings about it?
Well, let me tell you, if God’s call on your life is that important, you’d better not ignore it! He’s got ways of getting your attention, and trust me, they can be way worse than being fish food.
