Divine Directions

How you nevigate through life is determined mainly by your ability to make proper decisions, whether it is what you will eat, what you will wear, what school you will go to, what ministry you will join, who you will marry, will you get married, how many children will you have, (i think you catch my drift by now) whether its a thousand or just ten, we all have decisions to make and the hardest part of this is that we often times have to make decisions with limited information. We have to use cognitive reasoning and intuition to try and calculate the outcome of our decisions and the probability connected to our choices and then there is the factor of realizing that some of us are nervous of making decisions because the last time we made our own decision we ended up in a series of regret and remorse and guilt with no one to blame but ourselves so before I make any more decisions, I’d rather just stay in between two opinions. It’s what we see with the Children of Israel standing in the wilderness having second thoughts about going back to Egypt because there were people around them called the mixed multitude trying to convince them that life was much better in Egypt because they had better food, and this is why you must make sure you stay close to sober voices in this season because the grass looks greener in your past but that only depends on the direction of the sun but you must make sure that in your ‘in between places’ you listen to sober voices in your life because I hope they tell that the wilderness is your place of revelation and your place of proving and you pay attention because the lessons you learn in the wilderness are going to be your wisdom on how to flourish in your promised land, tell somebody be sober. Imagine if Job would have listened to those around him who cared about Job but didn’t cover Job therefore they didn’t see God working in his life so they spoke to his existing conditions and not his Divine journey, and I know people love you and they want the best for you but I told you the other Sunday that sometimes good intentions can get in the way of God’s plan. We have all been in the place of decision and we are wondering which way to go, which move to make, what are the next steps, and it seems like there are no answers, but if you remember when the disciples were trying to figure out what their next steps would be after Jesus ascends, they found their answer in the one who set them on course to begin with, and this is why you must rely on the leading of God, Jesus spoke to them and said I must leave you, because if I don’t leave you, you will never walk into you full potential (because they would no longer have Jesus to lean on), but im going to send the Holy Ghost in my name, and he will lead and guide you into all truth, and i’m trying to convince you that your next steps in your journey aren’t coming from a horoscope, they aren’t coming from a Facebook post, but they are coming when we get back to prayer and fasting, when we get back to seeking God, when we get back to inquiring our leaders, tell somebody get your answers!
