I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives
because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is;
God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan
for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it.
It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too
perplexing. We think, “but I need to know
just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had
thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar
with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s
plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine.
Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will
always get in the way of our walk of faith. God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions
where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you
experienced these hard times? He wants us to forget our understanding and design and rely on Him in faith. As difficult as this may be sometimes it is very
practical, reasonable and advisable within infinite wisdom and complete
knowledge. You can trust Him.
Since I know I have a tendency to want to step out in front
of God’s plan for me, I will make myself remember God watches me from a divine
position of omniscience. He sees more than I ever will. Read (Isaiah 55:8-9) to
gain a better understanding of God’s view of your life.
Obedience to His way
might seem like stepping out in blind faith, but you can fully trust Him, who is above all.
