Have you ever told God you'd help fulfill his will and when you hear his answer you step back and say "Wait whaaa??? Do you really know what you are doing?"
Maybe he told you to forgive someone.
Maybe he is telling you to move or switch careers.
Whatever He is telling you don't be afraid! God loves you and would never steer you wrong.
God knows you personally. He knows your name, rather you know him or not. He is knocking at your door waiting for you to answer. We all have many pressures in life, but it's how you react under that pressure that really counts. It can show how you are on the inside, even determine your future. It effects those around you. We must remember to be patient and pray.
No matter what your going through it is great to know one thing. God is already working behind the scenes on you prayers before we even pray! How great is that?!
God is in control and knows what will happen.
So what do you do in the meantime?
1) Pray to God
2) Listen to what God has to say
3) Obey God's commands!
The bible tells us:
Colossians 3:2
Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth.
We must keep heaven in our minds. What lies ahead for all eternity not just here temporarily on earth. Every time you listen to one of God's commands you are fulfilling his will. God's will is far better than any life we could plan for ourselves.
In other words: He knows what he is doing. No matter how fishy it sounds, do it anyways! You must meet him half way. You can't just go part of the way and turn back because it got too hard.
Would you go to the grocery store, fill your cart half way then put everything back because you decided it's too hard to figure out the meals for the week? NO you wouldn't. So why would you tell God you will do as he commands and then back out cause you decide you don't want to do it?
Colossians 3:15
And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace. And be thankful.
You must live in peace. Let God take the wheel of your life. Let him direct you and you must follow. Don't worry about the unknown, for it's never the unknown. God knows all! Be thankful for what the LORD has given you!
Dust your self off. Calm down when the pressure hits.
Trust in the lord! For he is great!
When God knocks at your door, will you answer?
