Opening the right pages
I looked at the phone as it kept opening different pages and apps
all by itself😲
It wasn’t working as it was meant to
But running its own course and doing as it wanted to
I kept looking at it
And my mind drifted to the fact that I might have acted
like the phone was doing with GOD on different occasions
We all know GOD already has our lives planned out but
sometimes we just prefer to head in the opposite direction
I imagined GOD patiently looking at us and saying, “no,
not that way my child”💓
And then keeps nudging at our hearts gently until we get
the message, pause and then retrace our steps.
2020 has been the most eventful year😩
With so many unprecedented happenings that kept us in
constant reminder that we were at the mercy of GOD
2021 will be here in less than 32 days’ time😍
A time out with oneself is needed
A time to reflect, strategize and to plan towards the
coming year
And most importantly, a time to hear from GOD so we won’t be opening pages, and heading in directions and locations not originally intended for us
Being at the center of HIS will is too important to be taken casually
At the end of the day, what counts the most is doing what He assigned and not what we did out of our own volition.
Stay, listen long enough👂 and move only after He has spoken👌
That way, you will be opening the pages He wants you to open, and not just doing it randomly and cluelessly.
Yspot!
That's right ✅ and beautifully said 👏. It's important we learn to follow God's leading and direction for our lives.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. It actually saves us from a whole lot of stress.
DeleteWell, sometimes I look back in time and feel silly: getting to this strategically-positioned bridge, then I wonder why I had spent so much time and energy packing climbing-gears and worrying if they were sufficient to get me across - 007 style.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lessons.
Hmmmm very true Rux. If only we would just rest and trust GOD with the process...
