Details

So for the past month or so I have been feeling kind of lost and very distracted as if I’ve lost my purpose and direction, I don’t know what my future holds and I’m not sure what I want to do with my life anymore. As I tried to find the words to write tonight I decided to go back through my notebook and basically read through this past year; what I found were the words God put on my heart two and a half months ago. “Be faithful and everything you do, do it for Me” I don’t know where on my path I lost this truth but tonight I find that this is my direction and my purpose; I don’t need to know the details of what my future holds. My future is my future and God is creating a prefect plan for it and today is today and I’m not supposed to worry about tomorrow. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not completely crazy, I know there are things in life that need to be planned, but being in relationship with God is planning those things with Him; moving when He says move, and waiting when He says wait, doing everything you do in His name with Him in mind and living each and every moment with faithfulness, in obedience to His word and resting in His grace when you fall short. Because I could plan and strive and fight for my goals and make opportunities for the future I think I want to have, but in the end “what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul…” Matthew 16: 26 All I need is to be in relationship with God, my life is His and when all my plans and efforts fall short it is His grace that lifts me up.
