"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

Last night God spoke to me the title for this message along with the word incongruity.

The definition of incongruity is out of keeping or not conforming. 

The challenge is understanding God and how to live in His pathway. This is very difficult because God does not think or act like you and what you might think is the right action could be totally wrong with God.

The incongruity also takes place through the efforts of religion. The religious leaders tend to paint a misleading picture of the character of Jesus and His purposes for believers.

So how do we get into an incongruous situation with God?

We try to think for God instead of listening to His voice.

We get ahead of the Holy Spirit and into a works doctrine. The great things of God do not happen by might nor by power but by the Spirit of Christ. 

We forget the priority of God. He wants to meet you every day in the routine and what may seem like the unimportant tasks of life. This is where Jesus can teach you His values and purify your motives. 

We want to jump ahead to the big picture when we have not been properly trained on how to walk with God. It took Moses forty years to get this point.

You also have to get over the idea of wanting to help God and understand He is complete and lacks nothing. He doesn't need your help; you need the fullness of the Living Water.

God wants you to be devoted to Him above all else. This means you do not worship false idols or stand before Him with any compulsive behaviors.

You and I are ego driven people. God has no ego and is motivated by unconditional love to draw people to Him. We have to die to our self importance and get our ego out of the way so we can be used by God.

God is always evaluating your faith in dealing with life issues. Are you walking by faith believing in the promises of God regardless of the circumstances in your life?

The best way to avoid incongruity with God is to invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life. This includes your words, actions and decision making. 

Allow God to order your life each day or as Moses said ask God to teach you to number your days and give you a heart of wisdom.
