You Don’t Need God’s Permission

I had a friend ask me the other day if I thought we are supposed to wait for God’s permission before following our dreams.  My response?  Absolutely not.

It seems like there’s this unspoken knowledge that if you are Christian you are supposed to sit quietly in your house and do nothing until a booming voice shakes the walls of your house, and the bath water in your tub parts.

Here’s the deal. God put dreams in you. Wild crazy dreams.  There are things that you are both extremely good at and love doing.  Maybe it’s painting, maybe it’s being a race car driver, maybe it’s being an awesome leader, or speaker.  Maybe it’s having a knack for fashion, or graphic design.  God put those things in you, you don’t just have these desires for no reason.  Go after them.  You have two hands, you have skills, put them to use!  Don’t just sit on your talent and dreams.

You go until you get an affirmative no from God, and if you don’t get no then you keep going.  You already have a green light, stop wasting time, stop waiting for “God’s timing” God’s timing started when you were born, so the clock is already ticking.  Get going!
