The will of God

I’m at a crossroad. Which way do I go? I desire to be obedient to the call of God in my life but which way is he directing me. My planning and scheduling nature has to yield to the will of God and remember that God is not on my schedule. By now I should have learned that a lot of things don’t go according to the way I planned them or at the time I planned them. Apparently I haven’t learned that lesson yet. One thing I know is that the promises of the Lord are true and sure. What He has promised he will see come to pass, even if its way off my schedule. I struggle to be patient and wait on the Lord and in the process I grow weary. Isaiah 43 says “but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

I continue to learn that the will of God will never take you where the grace of God cannot keep you. I have heard that quote over and over but in the past 2 and ½ years I have seen the Lord do just that in my life. So in my struggle to be patient and wait on the Lord I must continue to seek His face and trust that He will guide me even when I cannot see. For I know that I can trust Him fully above all else. In seeking his will, I have to let go of my will and deal with my selfishness to want to have things my way.  I’m at a crossroad, but I know the Lord will direct me and will make my steps sure.
