Just a few weeks ago, I was thrilled to receive a magazine that one of my articles is published in. Recently my article "Tired of Being Good" appeared in Lookout Magazine through Standard Publishing.
It is always a thrilling process to reread the article that I had submitted months prior. Often times it ministers to me, reading the words that God put on my heart.
This particular article was a fun one to write...I mean, who doesn't struggle with the temptation to break the rules??? I was one of those types of kids who constantly did what was expected of me. I was afraid of deviating from the path of "being good". But despite that, I still had a secret urge to go against the grain...to do things my way...to live life for myself.
Sometimes I do feel like just giving up on everything. It would be so easy to live for myself. It would be so fun to just do what I want and to not care about any expectations.
But did God call us to be rebellious? Does He intend for us to be rule-breakers?
God has a distinct and perfect plan for each and every one of us...and this is a plan that requires the direct opposite of rebellion. It requires OBEDIENCE. God has the best in store for us. But are we willing to trust Him for that? Are we willing to follow Him, even though we may not know what His plans are? Do we trust our Maker and Creator?
