"A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps." Proverbs 16:9 I have always done my best to follow what I think God would have me do. At times I was obsessed, even panicked that I was messing up. I was afraid I was missing the subtle clues dropped from the sky that I thought I was supposed to find. The problem was in doing the human thing, focussing so much on a direction He once led in, that embracing where He was currently leading could never be.
In all of this I have learned something that has simplified my life, and I hope it can do the same for yours - go where God is. If you are like me, this is where you are screaming on the inside "that is exactly what I want to do if only I KNEW WHERE THAT WAS." It is so simple friend, it is found in complete surrender and complete trust. It is trusting that whatever direction He is currently taking you in is His best for you. It is where you never could have fathomed going, but peace is there waiting in the trust, in the surrender, and in the rest. God is where it no longer has to make sense. He is where there are detours, and road blocks, and open doors you were not even looking for. He is a million steps ahead of you. He lingers in our uncompromised trust. So go where God is, the place inside of your heart that free falls with abandon into His loving arms. Dwell there, make it a habit not to stray from there, and see that this is where the mountain moving God dwells. He is in the casting down of your fleshly desires to understand, or interfere or even plan your own steps. What Father could take His eyes off of His child when they are trusting His arms to uphold them and His hands to lead them? You, my friend, are the apple of His eye, so when life is particularly hard and your mind cannot fit the pieces together, find your place beside Him and know that is exactly where you were meant to be.
