Well, you are not alone. The Lord can ask us to do something that makes sense years later or even decades later, but at the time it seems crazy. Hold on to what the Lord has told you to do, and do it to the best of your ability.
1 Samuel 15:22 ......Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice...............
The Father has a master plan, and we so many times cannot see it until it comes together. but the importance of your roll in obeying can be as serious as saving lives. The world is a dark place, and God uses His body to help those in need. If He asked you to save up food for others, would you? If He asked you to buy a plot of land for no reason, would you? If He asked you to walk up to someone and tell them God sent you to meet a need, would you?
The master plan is not for us to see the whys but to walk in obedience even feeling crazy.
Think about how many times something has happened in your life and you know it is a God thing! Maybe you are a faithful tither and money is short this month, but you obediently pay your tithe, then someone walks up to you and says, "God said to give you this." It is exactly what you needed to get through the month.
If something hasn't happened to you like this, maybe you have seen it happen to someone else. But I know if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, and you have walked any amount of time with Him, you have seen miraculous things happen. That is how He works! It is amazing.
We love to see God work and see Him come through for us when we are in need. Wouldn't you like to be the one that is the giver in this situation, reversing the rolls? The one that God tells to go give $20, $40, maybe $500 to an individual or family.
Wouldn't it be amazing if you had an empty house you owned and you just couldn't sell it for some reason and a persecuted Christian family came in seeking safety, and a place to stay, and God revealed to you that is why you could not sell it. These are true stories and are happening around the world from smaller to much bigger scales.
I want to be a part of God's master plan don't you? When we hear from God we have to be obedient no matter how long we walk without understanding; even when we think we may be crazy!!
