Has God given you something to do? Has He spoken to you about giving, witnessing, visiting a sick friend or relative, or helping out at your local church or homeless mission? Maybe He has just spoken to you about spending more time with Him through prayer and reading His word. But it seems there are always things that prevent you from doing what He has asked you to do. These things or circumstances maybe very real or legitimate. But they are still circumstances that are hindering you from accomplishing His will for your life.
I'd like to give you an example of a situation, that had the participants not ignored the circumstances, things would have been much different for an entire family. We all know the story of Jairus' daughter. Jairus was a synagogue ruler. I'm sure it took alot of courage on his part to even approach Jesus about his circumstance. But you see, he was desperate because his own flesh and blood lay dying. He ignored his position as synagogue ruler because his circumstances demanded it.
This is the Word of God;
Mark 5:35-36
35 While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher any more?"
36 Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid; just believe."
Death, it would seem, is the ultimate circumstance. It is just so final. But Jesus wasn't about to be sidetracked from the mission His Father had given Him to accompish. He ignored conventional wisdom and just went and did the task that was in front of Him. What task or mission Has God given to you today and what circumstance is keeping you from doing it? Your circumstances may be money, time, hurt, lack of self confidence, or fear. If He has called you to a task, He will make a way despite the circumstances. Be like Jesus and just ignore the circumstances to accomplish His will.
