Keep Moving Forward
Even though a faith choice is much harder to make, it is the only choice that will align us with God’s Will.
“But he who listens to Me shall live securely, and shall be at ease form the dread of evil.” Proverbs 1:33
The season of adjustment is upon you, but you will have to mentally and emotionally let go of things that tie you to the past before you can move forward in the Lord’s purposes.
If you will take this step of faith you will come into a place of liberty and fulfillment that you have not known before.
Trust the Lord to bring you through this awkward transition with great grace. All you have to do is be willing and flexible.
2 Corinthians 12:9a And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.
Just as every sport has disputes that must be settled by the officials, the peace of God is the umpire that settles all disputes as to what the will of God is for our lives. (read 1 Thess. 5:16-20)
We must learn to listen to and heed the peace of God in our hearts.
There are some things we can do to facilitate the peace of God umpiring in our hearts.
1. First, consider ALL the options.
*Many wrong decisions have been made because not all the options were considered.
*Don’t let fear rule out God’s possibilities.
2. Next, use your imagination to explore what will happen with each choice.
*You should be able to discern a greater peace as you consider the option the Lord would have you take.
The rudder on a ship can’t go any direction until the ship is moving.
The ship doesn’t have to be going full steam ahead for the rudder to work, but it does have to be moving.
Likewise, we have to act before the peace of God will give us perfect direction.
The Lord can bless a wrong decision made in faith from a pure heart, more than He can bless indecision (Rom. 14:23).
Lord, thank You for your peace of mind, heart and soul. Thank You for Your promises in Scripture that keep me encouraged and moving forward. Amen (see Philippians 4:4-15)
