Ready for Anything

As I was praying about what to write today I felt like God spoke this title into existence for me to figure out what the body of text was supposed to say about this topic. We'll see how it goes...

I started thinking about the word 'ready.' Could anything that I am possibly qualify to be described as that particular adjective? What could this phrase mean to God? I decided to do some research...

read·y
1. Prepared or available for service, action, or progress: (I am ready to work. The soup will be ready in a minute.)
2. Mentally disposed; willing: (He was ready to believe her.)
3. Likely or about to do something: (She is ready to retire.)
4. Prompt in apprehending or reacting: (a ready intelligence; a ready response.)
5. Available

Something in my spirit did a back-flip as I read this definition. So many things on this list that completely describe the ONLY thing that He is wanting from me. He wants me to be available to Him. Mentally disposed to hear Him speak. Willing for his service.

The great thing about being Ready for Anything God has for me is that it doesn't require anything from me except that I tilt my vision of my life through his eyes first.

My favorite definition on the list, that I know that God is speaking to me about, is #3. LIKELY OR ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING. I am likely to move on His behalf. I am about to do something for Him. I am about to make His name famous. I am about to be a part of taking this world on for the cause of Christ.

I am ready to be ready.

For God says, "At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you." Indeed, the "right time" is now. Today is the day of salvation. - 2 Corinthians 6:2

Father, please forgive me of my disbelief. Thank you so much that you are so powerful and all-knowing that you could find a way to make my imperfections somehow be used for your glory. I ask that you create in us a bold heart that is truly ready for anything you have for us. Teach us to tilt our vision so that our entire worlds are seen through your perfect eyes rather than our imperfect fleshly desires. I thank you that all you desire of me is that I desire you. Father, I am ready. Help me to stay ready. I love you!
