The world moves around us and we have three options in response to it, we can fight against the movement and make our own way, we can join the flow and move with the universe, or we can do nothing and watch it all pass us by and let everything just happen to us. Where do you suppose the most reward will come from?
Making our own way often seems like a good idea. We are strong enough and intelligent enough to know what's best for our own lives, so why not make it happen? Well the only drawback to that philosophy is when we do so without acknowledging God's plan for our life. I have mentioned before that we certainly have free will, but we are not abandoned to it. In other words, we don't HAVE to make our own way. We can talk to God about His plan for our life and work in unison with it to bring about the outcomes most desirable and beneficial to our souls. Too often we make choices that go against the plan God has set for us, so we deviate and end up going through tougher times.
When we do nothing and just become spectators to our life, we find ourselves caught in a rut, dealing with issues like depression, anger, and fear all the time and in worse cases even blaming God for everything. What really happened? Things affected us as we remained stagnant. The free will we were given was not even used in any attempt to drive along on our path. We simply gave up or gave in and let the world happen to us, good or bad, up or down, it all comes and goes without our participation.
But when we agree and understand that God is in control, and that all transpires is according to His will, then we discover that everything is in divine and perfect order. Our choices lead us to our destiny, but as we make better choices we find favor in God's grace and the blessings flow in abundance! All the times in our lives when we made less productive choices, He was still watching over us. His will was still in place, it was we who walked away from his protection and found ourselves struggling more.
So today I share with you this one piece of wisdom, talk to God. Pray that he reveal His will to you that you may begin to make better choices. Choices that will enlighten you to his plan for you life.
Selah,
CJ

I can see that GOD has moved through you with these excellent words of direction. I appreciate you taking the time to "steer" the lost sheep onto the right path. You are an example of God's purpose. Continue to shine my friend. I am behind you and supporting you all the way to HIS KINGDOM!
I've been talking to God so much that I reached the answering service twice last week...but I guarantee you that I will call back!
