Crossroads

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.~Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)

Have you ever been at a crossroads in your life? There is a fork in the road with nothing sign post that you can see.  Their is no clear distinction between the paths to help you figure out which way to go.  So you sit there, waiting, trying to figure out which way to go.  Wanting desperately to choose the path that will help you get you safely to your destination.  I find myself in that space today.  Frankly, it is terrifying because I don’t want to choose the wrong path.  I need to go the way He wants me to go.  So here, I stand facing the crossroads of my life, hearing the tick tick of the clock in my head, learning to wait on God.

My God, my God!  I can only shake my head and smile at the way He works.  His ways are not like mine.  His thoughts so above me, but He has told me trust in Him with all my heart.      To trust in the One who has neve let me down.  To rely on His faithfulness and believe that Gis thoughts about me are good and His plans for me will allow me to prosper.  He wants me to trust Him when I can’t see which way to go because He wants me to walk in faith.  The faith I have in Him, trusting that He will lead me to green pastures.  

Yes, my Father, just wants me to learn how to stand firm in this battle girded with His truth. He wants me to wait on the Word He has just for me.  He wants me to learn how to clearly hear His voice; to reverence Him.  He knows the path I will take.  He knows that I will arrive at my destination in His perfect timing and when I am truly ready to hear Him, He will give me the directions.  So until then, I stand still a this crossroads of life.  I stand safe in His arms and I breathe in the peace of knowing that He is in control.  I breathe in the assurance  of His love and I continue to learn how to wait.  How to not spin my wheels trying to figure it all out in my limited understanding.  I learn to trust Him and lean into Him so I can hear from Him.

Teach me your way, Lord,  that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart,  that I may fear your name (Psalm 86:11).  Let me not get distracted by what others are doing. Help me not to fear because fear is not from You.   Help me just to stand, wait, and trust in You.  Give me your  peace that surpasses all understanding and a heart that seeks You.  I know that the place You have or me is beautiful; this moment with You is beautiful and I love You.  In Jesus name. Amen
