Restless

Have you ever felt restless about doing something for God that you know He's wired you to do and feels like the brakes have been put on. It's like He tells you something very specific and He seems to be carrying it out, then WHAMMO! It comes to a dead halt. As I was reading Matthew 9:36 - 10:42 today I noticed some things. First Jesus says the Harvest is great but few workers. There's plenty ripe for the picken so the natural thought is let's go do it! The disciples after watching Him do ministry for a while must have been chomping at the bit to get out there and change lives for God but the text never says that (Sanctified imagination on my part). I have to believe Jesus was allowing them to watch Him for a season. If you feel like I do, maybe Jesus just wants us to chill and "observe" what He's doing so we can better grasp and understand His ministry and what He has for each of us. Many times emotions get in the way and it's a "ready, fire, aim" approach. When Jesus does send us for a specific work He'll give very specific instructions about where to go and what to do ( Matthew 10). Point of this blog is we're not "waiting" to go to work. The work "is" the waiting.
