The Drop Zone

Often I wonder about God’s will and how His will lines up with our lives. He gave us the ability to make choices but if we choose incorrectly then our wills are not lined up with His. I had to grow to understand that God knows what our choices will be even before we make them but just because he knows them doesn’t mean he made us make that decision. He gave us a little thing called “Free Will”. He didn’t create us to be robots but individuals who freely praise and seek Him.

When our choices are line up with His will then we are where my pastor calls “The Drop Zone”. In the bible God used the ravens to feed his servant (1Kings17; 4). Do you know what kind of bird the raven is? He is not one known to share his food but when God uses someone (and we are obedient to his will…thus inline with His will) it doesn’t matter what their tendencies are He can take the lowliness creature (the most unlikely person) and use them to achieve the goal of blessing you! Now isn’t that amazing…even our enemies become our foot stools! The “Drop Zone” is that special place where God drop our blessings on us. The place were He can open up the windows of heaven and the blessing can flow freely down on us. Take a look at your life and determine if you are indeed in the “drop zone”. Are you in a relationship that is not flourishing? If so you aren’t in the drop zone. Your mate could be around the corner but because you continue to force something that obviously is not fitting you miss your blessing…or delay them. Are you at a job were you don’t feel fulfilled? If so you may not be in the drop zone. That promotion or peace of mind could be right around the corner but because you are afraid to step out on faith you are missing your blessing. If you aren’t in that divine place were the blessings He has stored for can fall on you freely then as the old people say you could be “blocking your blessings”. You move into your drop zone! Don’t let the ravens pass you by!
