God Never Moves. Only I do.

We all go through times of uncertainty. There are many uncertain times talked about in the Bible. For example, God told Abram to pack up all of his things and allow himself to be led to a new land. Consider that for a second. Would you be willing to do that for God if He asked you to? How would that make you feel?
Proverbs 27:1 – Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
God tells us not to worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will take care of itself. We need to live today for today and COMPLETELY for God!
That goes along with the fact that we should make sure that we put God into all of our plans. Without Him, our plans are useless and foolish. How can we do anything without Him and try to claim that it is for His glory that we are here?
We need to constantly remember that were it not for God we would have nothing. He is our All in All.
As Christians, we are to be different. We should be separate from this world even though we are dwelling in it right now.
We need to be praying for God to give us strength to do His will. Not ours.
There will be uncertain times in our journeys. There will be times when we lose our way and we feel lost.
But the most important thing to remember during those times is that God didn’t go anywhere. God is always holding us. We may lose sight of Him and His will, but He never loses sight of us. He is constantly calling to us and trying to keep us on track.
I have to be reminded of this sometimes. I feel like I’m just lost and I don’t know which way is up. It feels like I don’t even know where to begin. But those are the times when I have to remember that it doesn’t matter if I don’t know where to start, because God knows where I am. He knows what I need to do. AND He will tell me if I just take the time to listen.
Sometimes I feel like I seriously need to refocus my life. It’s so easy to be pulled away by the distractions in this world. But God isn’t going anywhere. He will always be here to guide me. And to find me when I get off track.
Please keep this in mind at times when you feel like you don’t know where to turn or what to do. God knows.

God Bless,
Taylor

God's Will

Where there's a will there's a way. Right?
Isn't that what everyone says?

Well then if it's God's will, then there certainly is a way.
So why do we doubt Him? Why do we stifle His attempts to use us to fulfill His will? How could we ever even start to think that we could do things better than God?
The most incredible thing that we will ever be able to do is pray that God's will be done in and through us. He knows what needs to happen, and He surely knows the way that He wants those things to happen.

There are a gazoodle of places in the Bible where God talks about how He will do things, and He always makes it happen.

Genesis 2:18
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Genesis 6:7
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

Genesis 6:18
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.Genesis 7:4
For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.


Think about it. Those three verses were only from the very first chapter in the Bible!

God has a will for each of us. But more importantly, God has a way to make His will happen in our lives if we'll just let Him work.

What are you doing to prevent God from being able to do His will in your life?

God Bless,
