Sometimes we don’t get to know all the details of a task that is placed before us, we are just asked to keep taking steps in faith. I’ve always been bothered by the term, “you just got to have faith,” although I’m sure I’ve irritated others a time or two with that cliché in my ignorance. Relationship with Christ requires complete surrender of self, in order to hear His voice as we walk down the path He has prepared. It can’t be faith alone that we yield to, relationship with the “good shepherd” will grant the wisdom to hear his voice in the frantic places. Without relationship we risk being deceived as there are so many opinions circulating as we obtain the courage to figure out the path on our own.
I’ve been guilty of being paralyzed by worry and anxiety as I leaned on my own understanding of what was possible for my life. It was only in the moments of complete surrender that I was able to hear the beautiful whispers of my Father calling amongst ALL the noise. It’s easy to know what to do when the path seems right, but what do you do when all you see is complete chaos? Without relationship, we rely on self and what is understood with our eyes. Although scary, the control we think we have gives false security & we are easily swayed. We talk ourselves out of our Promise and we rob the world of the very reason we were created.
Wisdom to know His voice is what I seek daily, it is the air that gives me life. I’ve tried my own path & ideas and they’ve always left me empty, hopeless & wanting more.
I’ve been in relationship with Christ, taking time to sit at His feet to builds trust, which has produced faith. I will walk in the scary places as my TRUST in Him is great. I have the confidence to know that He has chosen me to help spread this message of hope that others might be free from the same sabotage. David is a great witness to me as he’s faced all these things an more. I love digging into the Bible, when I am scared, uncertain or discouraged, I always have my hope renewed.
If you are struggling during these uncertain times and you’re finding it difficult to hear His voice. Sit at his feet, we won’t always know exactly what to do but HE gives us the insight to do something. I’m praying for all who read these words that you may be filled with HOPE as I am a witness to His goodness. If we seek him, we WILL find Him.❤️
Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge. 2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”3 As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.[2]4 The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips. 5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. 7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,10 because you will not abandon me to the grave,[3] nor will you let your Holy One[4] see decay.11 You have made[5] known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
