I woke up this morning with the word "CHUM" on the brain. I love acronyms and knew it was an acronym I was supposed to pay attention to. I also knew that it was related to my obedience/submission struggle. As I prayed about it, this is what God showed me:
C-Close in and get intimate with God. We need to go to Him in prayer even when we don't feel like it. We need to fear God, not man, our schedules or our wallets. We need to choose God.
H- Hone in on God's word. We need to maintain a regular time in God's word. We need to meditate on what we read and memorize His words. We need to equip our soul to hear God's Spirit.
U- Understand. We are to dwell with God's word. We are to pray and ask for wisdom. We are to ask other God-fearing, Jesus believing souls for help. We are to listen to God and seek His revealed word.
M- Move in and do what it is you are called to do. We are to apply what the Spirit is prompting us to do. We are to do God's will even when we don't want to. We need to be diligent and complete it to the end. We need to work by God's power, not our emotion.
So, if you too are leading then you know we are better leaders when we are better followers of our Savior. My prayer for myself and anyone else that is struggling with this obedience/submission issue, is that we will become "CHUM"s for God.
