Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Opening ourselves up to God and letting Him show us what He wants to do through us is the beginning of a new journey in life.
Things will happen differently than how we would normally expect them to. It won’t be the same. But, with the change there will also be a peace that surpasses all understanding.
That peace is what will carry us through and cause us to keep pressing in. Even though things are different now, and we don’t know what to expect at times, there is such a peace that only God can give us.
That peace will help us persevere in some of the scariest moments, taking steps we would never have expected to take in our lifetime.
We can all have such a personal and intimate journey with Him. We don’t have to have a special title. We don’t have to be a pastor, priest, evangelist, or missionary to walk with God like this. No.
Certain types of people would have us think differently, to keep us coming back and depending on them. But, God wants us to have full dependency on Him and Him alone; Full trust and leaning on Him.
Yes, sometimes God will guide us to a leader to help us find our way, or to get clarity or confirmation on something. But let Him guide us to who He wants to have help us. Even in that, we may find ourselves being led to someone we would have never expected, to give us the answers we need.
God has a life for each one of us to live. Go to Him the way you are now and line up with the direction He wants you to go. Begin taking one step at a time, in faith. He will unfold it as we obey each step.
God is limitless. Don’t let our heads hold us back. Don’t let what others say hold us back. Don’t let tradition, or having to do things a certain way all the time, hold us back.
Let God lead, and we follow. Go for it. Line up and trust Him with our lives! Amen.
Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
