Have you ever found life messy. You think you have it all sorted and
everything turns out topsy turvy. Well what I love about Jesus is that He
specialises in making messages out of messes. He takes the big ball of mess
and unravels it one string at a time.
The word says that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and He
delights and busies Himself with every one of our steps. This means that God
already has every step set in place....we just have to take time enough to
acknowledge HIM in ALL of our ways, then His promise is that He will direct
our paths.
We start out life thinking we can do it all. We are going here, achieving this,
going to earn that, be as famous as so and so and after a while of hitting a
few brick walls, we either give up and feel sorry for ourselves, mope around
bemoaning our fate, or finally get a bit of sense and realise we better
start acknowledging God and find out His plan for our lives.
Well for quite a few years I really was very confused; wondering why my life
was one big emotional roller coaster. Every so often I would find a new
passion which would satisfy for a little while, then the doldrums would come
again. I really did not want to be in ministry or follow Godʼs call on my life
because I feared judgement, criticism and ultimately failure. I did discover
though that I was miserable running around after my own plan and not
following the Lords. Well when I had enough of feeling yuk and finally said
God change me, make me the person you want me to be. Well that was the
beginning of a new life. He demolished the old thinking patterns and built a
new foundation of grace and total reliance on Him and His ability.
For the first time I actually began to enjoy life because I was following Godʼs
ultimate plan.
Have a blessed week and know that His plan for you great and God is waiting
for you to become His next trophy of Grace.
Ps Dani
