Paralyses by Analyses : Pastor Rajiv's Daily Reflections

One of the biggest problems with us humans is our ability to analyze. In fact that ability has become an escape route from the job before us.

This problem is extremely prevalent in the corporate world but also in the spiritual world. We love to analyze Gods word from every direction and every depth, to the extent we forget to follow Gods word. 

What is the point of Bible studies, sermons and devotionals if we do not act upon them but get lost in analyzing them?

Proverbs 3:5-6 says 
“Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He’s the one who will keep you on track."

Jane Glenhur asks,  "When you are listening for God's answer are you analyzing your choices and trying to figure out which is best?" Invariably the person says yes.
That is my clue to suggest that if we use that quiet time of listening to reason out the best answer, we will miss God's response. We have to hand the microphone over to Him and just sit quietly and expect He will answer."

Instead of analyzing His word, we need to take action. The action of actively listening for His answer. It could come as an opportunity of a job for the jobless , hope for the hopeless and a solution to your problem. 

What will you choose today? Analyses or action?
