Decisions.

Here's a little something that I've been chewing on:

When Abraham's servant heard what they said, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD. 53 Then the servant brought out gold and silver jewelry and articles of clothing and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave costly gifts to her brother and to her mother. 54 Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night there.
When they got up the next morning, he said, "Send me on my way to my master."

55 But her brother and her mother replied, "Let the girl remain with us ten days or so; then you [g] may go."

56 But he said to them, "Do not detain me, now that the LORD has granted success to my journey. Send me on my way so I may go to my master."

57 Then they said, "Let's call the girl and ask her about it." 58 So they called Rebekah and asked her, "Will you go with this man?"
"I will go," she said.

Many of you guys are making decisions right now; who you hang out with, what you do with your time....who you talk to, who you don't talk to. Some of you are thinking, what am I going to do in the future? Where will I go? That's the popular question...do I stay where I'm at? or do I go?

Remember what I told you guys? Are we going to be complacent in our walk...or will we go deeper? I'll tell you one thing....the greatest preacher can teach you guys about the mysteries and revelations of God, but if you are not seeking Him, you won't value it much. What do you value?? Are you being complacent? In the end...it's about having an open heart to receive.

Rebeka had an open heart. She had the CHOICE . Wether to stay with her family 10 more days and forsake the plan the Lord had for her, or go with a man she barely knew. A woman...had a choice. Back in the day...women weren't much of a decision maker....yet she had a choice. Oh how awesome is the Lord that he has given us a choice! The Lord will not force himself upon you; He will let you have a choice. So ...will you stay "10 more days" with what you are comfortable with? or will you step out in faith and say "yes, I will go". 10 days may very well be a month, a year, 10 years? Whatever your situation is the Lord is giving you a choice..."Will you hold on to it any longer?? or will you go after MY plan?"

I hope this speaks to you guys. Love you all.

In Him
