Drop Everything You're Doing and Listen to Me!

It's not in the Bible.  Neither the Father or the Son or the Holy Spirit said it.  While God has things to say that are important enough to warrant such an abrupt interruption into our lives, God doesn't operate that way.  God doesn't tend to "jump" people with a "drop everything you're doing and listen to Me" unsolicited insertion into their day.
Rather, God called to Samuel, multiple times, and simply waited for a response.  God spoke to Moses, introduced Himself to Moses through a burning bush, but only after Moses turned aside to see why the bush wasn't consumed by the flames.
Jesus didn't attack people with this "drop everything you're doing and listen to Me" approach.  He said, "Let those with ears to hear, listen."  Look across the gospels at Jesus' modus operandi and you'll see the trend.  He did good and helpful stuff and then let people come and check Him out.  And if they checked Him out and weren't interested He allowed them their space.  Remember, He let the rich young ruler just walk away.  Jesus didn't run after Him and tackle that young man.  OK, granted, the way the resurrected Jesus "arrested" Saul on the road to Damascus was pretty imposing, but that is a real outlier.  I mean, after all, what's one of the main ways Jesus' character is described across the pages of the New Testament?  Humble.  That same Saul of Tarsus, aka Paul, tells us to emulate Jesus' humility.
So what to make of that and what's the point?  When you've "got the goods" and you know it; when you're in it for the right reasons; you don't have to be nervous, anxious, defensive, obnoxious, pushy, or aggressive.  When you're offering, sharing the best thing to come along in ages and you know it, you're free to be courteous, considerate, to practice the "golden rule", to seek the interests of the other before your own.  Some of Paul's best known words are, "Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.  It does not insist on its own way."
See what I mean?  What is in the Bible makes for really good reading!  But better yet, what is in the Bible makes for really good living.  Do good and helpful stuff and be ready to field the inquiries.
