When Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
(Matthew 11:1)
“We must learn to keep our mouths shut and our spirits alert.” (Oswald Chambers)
Sometimes we are so busy trying to get things done for God we don’t realize when He is at work and needs us to back off.
We don’t need to play God in the lives of others but we are to keep ourselves in tune with the Holy Spirit. God is the one who teaches, not us, so be sure you are using the Word to teach, not your opinions.
Many times the message we hear in church, online in a video or even in posts like this it is intended for YOU, not someone else.
Always be asking how the message you’ve heard is intended to apply to your life, not that friend or relative that we think “needs to hear this.” God is using that moment to pass valuable teaching on to YOU, and we often lost the impact by thinking of who else needs to hear it.
