"God always has a clear path and plan, just rest in Him and always do even when feelings get in the way."
SCRIPTURE
Acts 16:25-34 Along about midnight, Paul and Silas were at prayer and singing a robust hymn to God. The other prisoners couldn't believe their ears. Then, without warning, a huge earthquake! The jailhouse tottered, every door flew open, all the prisoners were loose. Startled from sleep, the jailer saw all the doors swinging loose on their hinges. Assuming that all the prisoners had escaped, he pulled out his sword and was about to do himself in, figuring he was as good as dead anyway, when Paul stopped him: "Don't do that! We're all still here! Nobody's run away!" The jailer got a torch and ran inside. Badly shaken, he collapsed in front of Paul and Silas. He led them out of the jail and asked, "Sirs, what do I have to do to be saved, to really live?" They said, "Put your entire trust in the Master Jesus. Then you'll live as you were meant to live—and everyone in your house included!" They went on to spell out in detail the story of the Master—the entire family got in on this part. They never did get to bed that night. The jailer made them feel at home, dressed their wounds, and then—he couldn't wait till morning!—was baptized, he and everyone in his family. There in his home, he had food set out for a festive meal. It was a night to remember: He and his entire family had put their trust in God; everyone in the house was in on the celebration.
OBSERVATION
God uses every situation for His purpose and glory, if only I would allow Him to. There is always things in life that come up and try and distract me and want to put my focus on the "why's". God is in the business of directing my life and that is enough for me to let Him lead me! When I allow God's purposes not only am I blessed but others around me reap the benefit.
APPLICATION
No more "why's" - and when they do occur, put my entire trust in God and keep on praising him.
PRAYER
Lord, thank You that my life is in Your hands. I thank You that You have a clear plan for my life. Lord, I do want to pray and ask about TMG. I need Your direction and wisdom Lord. I want to honor You in everything I do. So, please Lord speak to me and others around me that You've entrusted me with to confirm what You speak to me. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
