Participation!!!


The word "Participation" has been strong on my mind for the last two or three days.  Today, it is obvious the message coming from the Holy Spirit is God's Righteous Judgement!  Participation ... Judgement.  I thought and thought and pondered some more and thought some more...

I have been in the process of cleaning off my desk.  It's a momentous task as there are piles of paper, stacks and stacks...deal with this now; deal with this later; keep this forever, you know, the stuff life somehow makes us hold for security, protection, to prove...and God is telling me: "Let it go!  I'll take care of you.  You don't need that anymore."  So sorting and shredding and though there is less, there is still more to go...all while participation is floating around in my head.  

I heard the Holy Spirit saying:  "There are so many things to choose to participate in, what are you participating in?"  'Aha, Lord!' I thought, 'I've got it!'  There are so many causes, some righteous - some not so righteous; movements - Join the (______________) fill in the blank cause.  As a Christian, are the causes you participate in lining up with God's work?  After all there are so many choices, it makes a Christian dizzy.  You really have to research too; is it true?  Is it someone's personal agenda?  etcetera, etc...  

As a Bible-Believing Believer, I want to make sure my choices and what I participate in are alignment with God's Word.
