Who do you go to first with a question, problem, concern? Michael Todd said yesterday that we should seek God’s answers before we turn to google. Go to the right G. That being said God puts people and resources in our lives to give us answers. But His Word and time in prayer need to be at the top of our list. You get truth and clear direction from spending time with Him. Then you will be able to get through the weeds of information to the answer that will help you.
This summer I have been lazy in my Bible studies not taking the notes I need to take to really solidify points in my mind. Writing it down helps me now and then I go back and look through my journals later and they snap me back to understanding just when I need it. Ron’s go to is drawing pictures while mine is words.
We are seeking direction for a life decision and I need to look at it from all directions. It is not just a financial decision but a heart decision. Others are involved and I don’t want to push my will on the situation. So my main prayer right now is to turn my hands up and let this unfold as it should. Not my way. If I had my druthers is not always the way life should play out. God sees the big picture. His ways are always better than mine. So remembering that there are four of us praying on this not just my brain should be encouraging. But I get stubborn and want what I want. So I have to physically get on my knees with my hands up to let go of my will not only this situation but so many others.
I put on Facebook that I needed prayer for our family. No specifics just prayers. It is encouraging how so many step up to pray with us when we reach out and ask. Praying for others not only guides them but connects us on such an intimate level. I am excited to see God’s direction in this decision. My role is to PUSH~pray until something happens. Even if it is not my way, I need to accept the outcome and then pray for the answer to work out as it should. So pray for me to PUSH rather than pull to get my way.
In Him,
Joyful
