Changing Direction
As clearly as I have ever heard anything from the heart of God, He spoke these three things to me for all of us;
Grow up and get with the program
Get your eyes off yourself and onto the big picture
Lay down your tradition and unbelief and fasten your seatbelt.
OK God, I hear You.
Once a week for the past 3 or 4 years, I have been cleaning someone’s home. Now, it looks like that job is ending and I haven’t liked the thought of either doing without that small check or finding another job. It’s not that I don’t want to work. I have worked very hard for most of my life but now I am dealing with some physical things that make looking for a job difficult. In addition, my family needs me home. So with a lump in my belly that I know should not be there, I am reaching out to my Father for direction and help. Truthfully, I have never had to go looking for a job. They always come to me so as I stand at this fork in the road, I wonder what He has for me this time…and yes, it’s time to fasten my seatbelt :0)
If there has ever been a time for the sons of God to stand up in maturity, it is now. With so much instability around us, we need to have hearts full of the Peace of God and free of bitterness, complaining or unforgiveness. We are the signposts that God is still in control when it looks like everything is falling apart. Appearances are deceiving and as darkness falls upon man’s ways, light will shine forth from the Christ in us if we don’t get in the way.
Truthfully, my flesh likes the status quo but my spirit is reaching for what my Father has before me. Change really is good and that old man might as well die because he is not in control.
