I would imagine that many of you, like me, go through periods in our lives where we aren't sure what to do, where to go, or how to get there. We can listen to respected people that we look up to, pray to God, read the Bible, and may still find answers unclear at times. Unfortunately, this post won't give you all the answers for the direction of your life because I don't always have all the answers for my own. But it may offer some encouraging words of wisdom for our daily walk as we walk forward with God.
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened for you." - Matthew 7:7. As I've been reading through Psalms there are numerous passages that swing from extreme pain and fear to overwhelming praises of the Almighty God. But all throughout Psalms, when he sought God, the Lord heard him. And when the Lord hears us He will deliver us. If your path seems to be sliding off track or not going the way you thought ask yourself this question: am I actively seeking God right now with my heart and life? He may be standing ready to deliver us, but He is left waiting for us to seek Him first. God wants us to love Him, not just his help.
So now that we're seeking God, we can take the next step. "Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established" - Proverbs 16:3. I have learned that while we may not know where God wants us to go, or what He wants us to do next, we do know where we are and we should continue working there for God until He shows us the next step. I know at times the daily grind gets challenging, waking up early for work or school, having to deal with rude people, or circumstances in life right now just feeling overwhelming. But if we will place our full trust in the Lord and roll with Him, he will fulfill our righteous plans, and give us all we need.
I don't know the next steps for your life, nor necessarily all the steps of my own. But I do know that if we will seek the Lord, he will hear us and deliver us. And if we commit our work to him, he will fulfill our plans.
Heavenly Father, Thank you for being a faithful, never-changing God. Thank you for your promises, your guidance, your plans, and mostly your love. I pray that we all may seek you, and commit ourselves to you, and find everlasting joy in this world through You. Amen.
