Ready.

"God called unto him...And he said, Here am I." Exodus 3:4

"Readiness for God means that we are ready to do the tiniest little thing or the great big thing, it makes no difference. We have no choice in what we want to do, whatever God's program may be we are there, ready.

Be ready for the sudden surprise visits of God. A ready person never needs to get ready. Think of the time we waste trying to get ready when God has called! The burning bush is a symbol of everything that surrounds the ready soul, it is ablaze with the presence of God." (Oswald Chambers)

My small group was discussing this very topic last night and I couldn't help but think of the obedience of Noah. The truly amazing thing in that story, at least from my perspective, is the amount of faith Noah demonstrated in the instant that God called him to do something unexpected and out of the ordinary. We don't read of his questions or worries, we simply discover his obedience. Noah had placed himself in a position to be ready for whatever the Lord asked of him. As we continue his story this weekend we will see how his willingness to trust brought fourth amazing blessings in his life.
