SENSE OF URGENCY!!!


Do you feel like there is something compelling you to do more than you are doing right now? If you said yes then we share that same feeling. This is referred to as a “sense of urgency”, it’s that feeling that says “Now is the time to do it, not tomorrow!” or simply “Act Now!”. For me there are definite things that I know God has given me instructions to do, but up until now I have been dragging my feet on moving on these things. I have procrastinated. I have allowed fear to convince me to press pause. I have rationalized in my own mind why it is not logical or feasible to make a move. I have come to the end of my excuse list and I hear God so clearly giving me a red light that says URGENT!

Perhaps you too have this compelling sense of urgency to step out and operate in that which He has called you to do. What is your response to this? I can’t answer for you, but my answer is “Yes, God. I will do it. I know I have put it off for far too long. Am I afraid? Yes! Do I feel under-qualified? Yes! Am I going to do it anyway? Yes! Why you may ask? I am making a move now because first and foremost I am operating in disobedience when I don’t do it. My other reasons are that I am simply tired of not doing, tired of watching my destiny go unfulfilled, and tired of seeing others who need the gifts He has given me fall by the way side. I feel the sense of urgency! I have to do it!

It is urgent because time is running out. Others need our gifts to be fully operational. God desires to use us to bring those who don’t know Him or those that have strayed away, in. I am making a move now! No longer will my name be on God's inactive list. What about yours?
