Let Him INN

Do you recall the story of Jesus' birth? A young virgin and her soon to be husband were searching for a place to rest from their journey to Bethlehem, when they had to give birth to our Savior in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. It is an amazing story of obedience, perseverance, and sacrifice. And it parallels how we should live our lives today.

In a world filled with instant messaging, video on demand, and iPods, it is often difficult for us to make room for Jesus in our inns. But as children of God we need to be the first to slow down and allow God to impregnate us with His divine purpose for our lives. Just like young Mary, you may not understand how anthing so great can happen to you, but I want to assure you that it can and will, if you INNvite Jesus into your everyday life.

We have to stop making fellowship, worship, and giving something we do just on special occasions, and INNcorporate them into our daily walk with God. And finally, when you have those times when you feel like things aren't going to work out, learn to INNvestigate God's Word. There you'll see that all things work together for your good, when you Let God INN.
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."
~Revelation 3:20 (NIV)
