"My life experience has
taught me nothing happens by chance. Even the idea of the ball in a roulette
game: it's not chance it ends up in a certain place. It's forces that are at
play."
In life we end up on journeys
that we never foresee for ourselves, maybe because we were
too afraid to try, maybe this isn't the path we thought we wanted, but
more importantly because God saw something that we couldn't
see.
Life takes us
down different roads that we couldn't prepare for even if we tried,
which is why it is so important to pray for wisdom and discernment so that
we make decisions that keep us on the path that God has planned, even if we
don't understand. Life places us in situations where we have to make
decisions, this is when it is most important that we pray and listen for an
answer. We can't be too quick to act, because one wrong decision could cost
us years of misguided time. What God has planned for our life will always
happen, but if we get in His way, we can sometimes delay our blessings.
When God answers follow His direction, He knows what's up ahead.
I was presented with an
opportunity that was everything that I knew I didn't want, it was too far, it
wasn't the path I wanted, but I prayed and I had to be obedient to the answer
that was given. Obedience is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel
15:22). By being obedient and not making my own plan, this
opportunity created a path for me to get to a place where I knew my true
passion lied. We never know why God is doing the things He is doing, but
we have to have faith and trust that His plan will always better than our own.
Listen for answers and proceed,
they may lead you down a path of a dream you never dreamt.
