I am going to be honest.....I would like God to write out a plan for my life, give it to me , so I could then decide if I liked the plan, would consider the plan, then decide if I was going to follow His plan.
Well it doesn't work that way(and I am actually thankful for that), God wants us to trust Him each step of the way, known or unknown, revealed or unrevealed, we are to always choose His way step by step.
I have learned that following God and His ways is a daily decision, and often the season I am in, it might be a moment by moment decision. Even David in Psalm 86:11 says "Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth."
I am also learning that very rarely does God show us the future. I feel like I am often guided along strange roads, not knowing what is just barely ahead or right around the bend, struggling to have faith and believe that God is taking me along the best road or path.
I have been in a long season, on a long bumpy, rocky, curvy, full of hills and many sharp curves road for awhile, and while I don't know the whole road and the end destination for this season I do know that I can completely trust and depend on God to lead me His way. As I follow His way I see that obedience doesn't come easy or naturally for me, I have had to give up things that I thought was right and good. It is not easy, but I know following Gods way will lead me to where He wants me to be, doing what He wants me to do. All He asks of me is faith and obedience and trust. And with that promise I know I am going in the right direction and will end up at the right destination.
