Good morning and welcome to a new week! Hope last week was fair to you? Hope you achieved something, no matter how little? Life is about making moves, no matter how little just make sure you're moving...stagnancy or being stuck sucks!
So about today's post, "God in a Swimsuit" lol.... I'm laughing at this heading myself, but let's get down to business!
Years back, a friend called us on phone to get ready that we were going to hang out for swimming specifically. Most of us were excited about it but just a few of us had a swimsuit.
One of us, who's all "tech" lol, she loves to do things the way it should be done and tushed too insisted that to be part of the trip you MUST have your swimsuit. Mind you, she wasn't the one sponsoring the outing o, but she just insisted and it raised a lot of dust and I guess we eventually didn't hang out that day cause most of us got angry at her.
*****************************
This is exactly the attitude most of us put on about God, our dreams, ideas, visions, plans, etc.
We expect that God must work in a particular way, we're engrossed with our stereotype knowledge of God that we don't give Him room to use other means to reach out to us. We just package God in a straight jacket and insist He deal with us in a particular way. We insist If He's not in His swimsuit swimming then He's not God.
For our dreams, goals, ideas, visions, plans, etc... We get to used to a particular system that we can't give room for something different. We copy others and follow their system strictly whether or not it's working for us.
Why not try something different? Why not let go of those traditions that hold you down? Why not keep an open mind and explore other ways of being great?
Jesus broke the tradition of the Sabbath day and when the Pharisees questioned Him, He told them "Sabbath is meant for man and not man for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:23-28)
Fear is the reason why you're afraid of change, it's the reason you don't want to try things differently and it's the reason you chose to settle for the normal.
Break out from that chain and live the life you crave.
Have a great week ahead!
Love you large
