This week I have been following the political scene and the financial market. I am amazed how we can all see the same thing, but see it completely differently. I was talking to a friend the other day and we shared what we thought was happening in the world. We both determined that we must be in tune with what God is saying during these unpredictable days.
As times get tougher and it appears we are in a recession I have come to believe my faith must remain in God and Him alone. I can not trust men for their wisdom, I must go to God's Word for instruction.
Last week I was talking to Pastor Terry about how God has been so faithful to my family. It is so important that we learn to listen to God's voice and obey it in order to experience blessing and peace. However, when we trust in people and earthly wisdom we are dismayed and disappointed.
One of the most important lessons I have learned in the last several years is that God's ways don't always make sense to me. It doesn't really matter if it makes sense, the only thing that matters is that I do what He wants me to do.
I think I am learning not question "why" so much and just do it because he told me to. It sounds so simple, but for some reason we want to do things our way. It's kind of like when we tell our kids to make their bed when they get up in the morning, and everyday we remind them. Then one day we look into their room and the bed is made. Wow, we are filled with joy because they finally got it!
I wonder if that is how God feel about us, finally they get it! :)
I know the Lord desires the best for His kids and so often we do what we want instead of what he has instructed us to do. Just think of the joy we can bring to His heart by walking in trust and obedience...Selah
I am going to look for opportunities to share with others the peace and blessing that comes when we follow after the Lord and listen to his voice.
