God and Me . . . In That Order04 Jan 2010 08:29 pm

At my weekly men’s prayer meeting, I learned a very simple yet powerful strategy involving how God can work in your life. And it’s quite easy to remember, because it involves three steps, and they all start with the letter O.

1. Opportunity–God provides an opportunity for you to do something.
2. Obedience–You are obedient in seizing the opportunity that he has provided for you.
3. Outcome–God is faithful, because of your obedience, to bring about the desired outcome.

When you consider that only one of the three steps are our responsibility, how difficult could it be? Right?

“One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, German Lutheran pastor (1906-1945)
