I love walking, and yes i even like to hike occasionally though i dont hike a lot. i still recall doing it with my dad while growing up. Don and i have gone on a few small hikes over the years.Usually when you go on a walk or a hike, you plan ahead where your going to hike, how long the hike will be and you know where you will end up.Its called being prepared!It wouldn't be wise to go on a long hike on a mountain trial or through a unknown area that you had never been at to before or at least know what your doing and have done some research on the area.Im sure i speak for most of you that you want to be prepared.
In the same way God wants us to prepare for the plans He has for our lives, were not puppets on a string. its important to seek direction from Gods word the holy scriptures as the compass for our lives. There are times in our journey where God doesn't lay out your path or He may lay out more than one path and both may be in His will.Then you find yourself asking what now Lord, where do i go from here?
We see through earthly eyes a distorted perspective of a much bigger picture that only He can see.sometimes the path is not laid out, all we hear God say is "GO" and i will get you there. that can be scary to us, but why are we afraid when we know WHO holds our future in His hands! We have to step out in faith at times, sometimes BIG faith and really just lay it out, down at his feet and say ok, im ready and willing to go, though i cant see where ill end up, or how this will come together.
WE have to surrender our dreams, our plans into the hands of the all knowing God!When were in His will, then his plans and ours line up with another. and God cares about our dreams and our hearts desires, if what we want is whats best, then He will make it come to pass, but when we push him aside thinking, we know better than his Perfect plan, thats when our lives crumble beneath our feet.
Here is a quote i found and i love..." God has perfect timing, never early, never late it takes a little patience and a lot of faith, but its worth the wait!"- Unknown Psalm 126;2 Man says show me and ill trust you,God says trust me and ill show you! Faith is putting our trust in God, even before he moves in our lives, its not believing he will, its knowing He will! it takes alot of faith to go out on a limb, whenGod has plans for our lives and he reveals them to us and they are uncomfortable to us unfamilier, thats when we trust God when the road is clear and we see what the plan is, but know that its going to change us in big ways thats when we trust!
Then there are time when the road is not clear and the path is not known, we feel the spirit pull at our heart, but don't fully know where its going to lead, and all we hear is still small voice say "GO" and i will get you there, that's when we have to fully trust a ALL knowing ALL powerful,God who knows and has something more beautiful than we can even imagine for our lives!So don't let your fears hold you back from God accomplishing what he wants to do in and through your life, open your eyes to his perceptive and let him lead you beside the still waters , to where your meant to be!
