Ah the weekend! I’m drinking coffee with the windows open,
eating my sisters’ wonderful homemade granola and I’m wearing my red snowflake robe.
It’s a good morning! Once my coffee is gone I realize the rest of the day waits…or
not.
Here is a little tidbit about myself: If I am in my robe I
could win an award for most lazy (ok maybe not an award for 1st but maybe a
close 3rd?). I mean I will get like nothing done, then at the end of
the day I’m like “Wow a whole day and I’ve done nothing.”
While nothing days are great and well needed everyday cannot
be. So knowing myself, if I want to get anything done I have to go put on my Nikes.
It’s a proven fact; there will be more productivity if I simply get out of my
robe!
So as Christians sometimes we are be in our “robes” too long.
We get comfortable and lazy (note I’m not talking about resting in the Lord,
our work in the Lord should be done from rest) sit back in our armchair with
our coffee and wait for the Lord to do something. When really the Lord is
always doing something and has already given us a list of things to already do.
It’s like we want a personal invitation from God, to get up and do something. I
am preaching to the choir! I can get the mindset of waiting, but doing nothing
in the process. He calls us to:
- Pray for the sick
- Cast out demons (there are demons in America FYI)
- Care for orphans and widows
- Love all people with your time, money and energy
- Encounter Him daily
And that is the short list! We don’t do these things to earn
favor or love. We do them because of love. He loves us, we love him and then we
love people. No matter if you are stuck at home or traveling the world you can
do something for God. It doesn’t have to be in front of thousands. Love the one
in front of you. Get on Facebook and look for people who aren’t feeling well
and pray for them! I love praying for people over social media! When you’re at
games or at the store be aware of Love! God is big inside of you…let Him be big
on the outside of you too!
So metaphorically speaking…get out of your robe and put on
your Nike’s and see what God will do through you!

I like to make homemade gifts, write letters, and buy flowers for people. Also, if there is a need to be fulfilled, I sometimes like to secretly do it.
