But lately I have had to revisit this idea. I thought about
some of the most influential characters in history and their lives didn’t seem
like a walk in the park. There were trails and tribulation, hard times and
heartache. There were times when they had to push without peace, better yet
push until peace comes.
Maybe you don’t agree, maybe you still think that if you
don’t have peace, you shouldn’t do something. I completely understand but let
me show you two things and I’ll let you make your own decision.
1) Luke 22:43-44
King James Version (KJV)
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven,
strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his
sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Jesus going to the cross is the most important thing to
happen in the history of the human race (whether some want to admit it or not).
And there was no one earth then, before or after that could ever complete such
a task. He was the man sent specifically to do this, there is no doubt that
this was God’s will for his life, yet even Jesus was troubled by it. He
struggled, he was in pain, it was hard, yet he did it. He pushed his way
through, he pushed until peace came when he said “It is finished” (John 19:30).
So don’t be afraid or hesitant to do something and step out
on faith and try something new if at first it is uncomfortable, difficult and
you end up doing more pushing than gliding along. Remember the struggle is a part of the process and continue to push, until peace comes...
