Have you ever gotten ahead of God? That’s called misguided zeal and it always tempts us to do things God has not called us to do. These are usually not bad things; in fact they are often “good” things but they are not “God” things. The key to resisting this temptation is to have a clear understanding of your call and an uncompromising commitment to the One who called you.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness.”
— 2 Timothy 4:7-8 (NIV)
Lord Jesus, may we always be obedient rather than ambitious and ever faithful to Your call. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
