Priorities

Recently I had a very random thought come to my head, which is far from uncommon for me to tell you the truth. I was sitting in first service a few weeks ago and watched a few kids go past me and then come back a few minutes later. Yes, the fact that someone ran to the bathroom isn't strange during service, but what was strange was it triggered in my head: Why is it that when nature calls people are quick to respond, but when God calls us we are not?

I know there are times when we all feel that God is calling us to do something that either doesn't fit into our personal agenda, or we are even known to put it off because we don't know for sure if it was God calling us in the first place. I've been there and I'm sure most everyone else has as well. What would the world look like if we all stopped what we were doing and answer His call as quickly as we did nature's?

I know that it's not always easy to do what we're called to do right away, but it's not always easy to get ourselves to a restroom either, right? Remember if you have kids the number of times the kids have needed to go and it wasn't a great time? Like when you were next in line at Wal-Mart or going on a trip and being 15 minutes south of Fitchville on 250 going south?

His call isn't always going to be convenient and it's not always going to be easy to achieve. Still, the next time He calls you to do something, think how quickly you'd act if it was nature calling....and maybe you'll get to His priorities a little faster.
