SEEKING THE DIRECTION OF GOD

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight.

proverbs 3:5-6

Everyday is a constant battle to not give in to the promptings of the flesh. You feel defeated but there is a still voice in the depths of your soul whispering to you that it is not over yet. You have a purpose and there is more to life than the here and now. You struggle to believe it because every part of your being is yearning for more yet not finding relief...at least for the moment.

You fake a smile many mornings, convincing yourself that everything is alright. Then you start to question if its alright to feel this way when you are a child of God! Is it okay to feel burdened and discontent?

Then you hear that voice again, telling you that it's alright to want more, to seek for something better. For we were created to achieve all we can for the glory of God. It is a greater sin to waste away and not live to the fullest potential God has given you. Ask God for direction, beg for his clarity. Plead him to make it known to you what it is he wants you to do for him. When you find yourself in that place, where he wanted you all along, doing what he wanted, created you to do, only then will you find the peace, the joy and the fulfillment he wanted you to experience all along.

May we all seek his will and really find that place where he wants us to be. Our life, our time is too precious to be wasted on things that will not make a difference for his kingdom.

I seek that place where he wants me to be. I wait , I plead for direction and the assurance that I am moving towards the goal. It isnt easy but at least I am not alone...even when it feels that way sometimes.

May the Lord be glorified!!!
