Spirit Lead Me

Have you ever wanted to go somewhere but something hindered you actually getting there? Have you been packed, but the trip was cancelled? Have your trip plans just fallen through? This year I was going to be ready for whatever God placed before me. I felt strong, I felt encouraged and ready for a fresh start. Even though I felt "ready" I was not. I did not have my road map, suit case packed or any of the logistics worked out.

The only thing I had was an emotional readiness to go. In life we sometimes think "oh, I'm just relying on God to make the plan for my life." Well, that is fine but He gives us a sense of the plan and then we set out on the journey. It is not by our own means that we plan our life, but it is right to listen to God and His plan for us.

So, although I felt ready emotionally. I was by no means setting off on my journey without the road map. Which leads me to my closing point. Listen to God, follow His lead, be in fellowship with your Creator. It is only when we are in communion with Him that His plan is revealed to us.



Jeremiah 29:11 

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.



Proverbs 3:5-6 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
