instruction.
Are we following HIS instructions?
Are we reading our instruction manual (AKA The Bible) He provides us?
Are we allowing the world around us influence our path or are we following where the Lord is leading us?
From a young age, I have always been very independent and responsible. I was the odd kid who set my own alarm and woke up to prepare for my day before anyone in the household was awake (besides my dad who is an early riser as well). This began before I can even remember- back in elementary school sometime. I have always lived with the mentality of never wanting to "waste the day"! As soon as the sun came up, I was up and at it, even on Saturday morning sleepovers with friends.
I am still this way. Early to rise, (not so) early to bed (anymore).
Independence is not a bad thing, so don't hear me saying that...but it has cornered me in several rough patches of life in my past. Independence and control go hand-in-hand for me. That's a blog for another day, so let me get pack to my original point- INSTRUCTION.
God WILL instruct you.
God WILL teach you.
God WILL provide the correct path.
God WILL show you the way out.
But we are required to FOLLOW.
Following requires faith. Faith to let HIM lead you during an uncertain time. Faith to remove all barriers the surround your heart in order to let HIM in.
"God has a journey for your life. It looks different than anyone else's. The road he's carved our for you is yours alone. It's always the road less traveled because you're the only one who is ever going to walk it. Oh, sure, he'll give you wonderful traveling companions to go with you. But don't let that fool you: that doesn't mean their paths are the same as yours-just that they're parallel for a time. So if you've been feeling guilty that your path doesn't look like Spiritual Samantha's then breathe a deep sign of relief. Your GPS (God Positioning System) is going to get you exactly where you need to go. And he promises to be with you every step of the way"

LET HIM INSTRUCT YOUR PATH.
LET HIM LEAD YOU.
LET HIM TAKE YOU TO YOUR NEXT STEP IN LIFE.
Start with prayer. Intentional, relational, instructional prayer to help you reach HIS path for your life.
SURRENDER TODAY. SURRENDER NOW.
surrendering control and allowing God to lead,
reagan
