Go!


You know how it goes...you're in a hurry but the light is red. After the light changes to green you're still not moving. Why not? Because the person in front of you is looking in the mirror...checking their hair or popping a pimple. You lay down on the horn and the person in the vehicle jumps...realizing they are in a vehicle on a highway with other people around. Once they become aware of the situation they give you (the driver paying attention) a dirty look and stare you down as you pass them. They forgot about the world around them because they were focused on themselves. As we've been looking at the 12 disciples over the past few weeks there's one thing I've noticed about all of them (excluding Judas) after their encounter with Jesus. They got busy doing God's work. I think as Christians we move slow because we are so consumed with ourselves. God has given us the green light to do ministry and reach our area for Him. However, God may be thinking the same thing we think when we're behind someone and the light is green..."go dude, it doesn't get any greener than this." Maybe...just maybe that's what God is saying to us.
