Taking Action On The Nudge

Happy New Year to everyone. I haven't posted yet this year. So I would like to start of with that.

Do you ever wonder if that small little nudging you feel waaaay down deep inside is from God or just you? How do you tell the difference? And if you follow that nudging, even if it is just from you and not God...is that OK? And if you don't follow that nudging, even if you know it is from God and not you...is that OK?

I struggle with this sometimes. I want to do the right thing. I want to be obedient. But I don't do the right thing and I am disobedient.

Sometimes the nudge is to do something easy. Sometimes it is to try something new. Sometimes it forces me to think about stepping out of my comfort zone.

When I don't do anything, I use the excuse that I don't know if the nudge is from God or just me. I use the excuse of "praying about it" so I don't have to move into action right away. Or I just plain ignore it.

This is something I want to do better this year. I want to be ready to do what I feel God is asking me to do. To not be afraid. To stop ignoring and to start doing.
