Does It Hurt Bad Enough?

A man has a guest over and as
they sit on the front porch,

the guest notices the old
hound dog moaning a bit. ....
the guest asks 'why the
dog is moaning?"...
the owner says "he's laying on
a nail that is sticking up" ...
the guest asks
"why doesn't he move?"
owner says "He's too lazy to get up"

Moral of the story?

If something in your life isnt quite the way it should be, make it right.
don't be complacent and "settle" for less than the blessings
Jesus has in store for you. Overbearing boss, seek a new Job.
A friend or loved one hurting or abusing you? Time to walk away.
If your church is not feeding your spirit, find one that will.

How much can you take before you will stand up and make a change? You are a child of the King of King's! You are chosen to spread His word! Are you equiped to do that from where you are?
Are you waiting for a "sign"? Well here it is! Do what God has insructed you to do. Even if it seems small and silly. Don't ever fail to listen to the last time God spoke to you. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Sometimes we don't "want" to do what God wants us to do, usually what we want is the total opposite of His will for us.  I don't think some things are meant to be a choice, you can't argue with God, He WILL have His way. Remember He used a burning bush to speak to Moses and a Whale to get through to Jonah. You don't want a rock to cry out in your place!!
He will use you if you are a willing
and humble servent, with a teachable
Spirit. He has used much less...
Five loaves of bread and two
fish fed a multitude of 5000 in Luke 9:12-17, with twelve baskets of leftovers!! Imagine a childs lunch! Jesus tells us in John 14:12 that we will do greater works than He because He is going unto His Father. It is hard to believe that we are capable of such things, but Jesus Himself spoke it so we cannot refute it, we need only to believe and it will be done.

“Complacency is a blight that saps energy, dulls attitudes, and causes a drain on the brain. The first symptom is satisfaction with things as they are. The second is rejection of things as they might be. ‘Good enough’ becomes today’s watchword and tomorrow’s standard. Complacency makes people fear the unknown, mistrust the untried, and abhor the new. Like water, complacent people follow the easiest course — downhill. They draw false strength from looking back.”
