God Invites Us
to Our Future Life Now
The
call is for all of us. Leave behind the
past. It can’t be changed. And God says to us, I have a future full of
hope for you. Step into that.
There
are a thousand incidents, hundreds of decisions, I would love to do over in my
life. But I can’t, and you can’t
either.
However
… we keep moving ahead with God’s help.
He guides us if we let Him, into a different, better future, when we
leave the guidance to Him.
And
it is a faith walk. Oh my, how we like
to jiggle on closed doors. How we like
to pound to be let in, to try the keys in our pocket just in case one of them
might fit the locked door.
Sometimes,
we take a crowbar and beat down the closed and locked door. And along comes more misery. More pain.
More of what God is trying to keep us from.
The
hardest decisions in my life have been the times when God has said “wait”.
I
don’t wait well.
In
retrospect, however, when I’ve allowed God’s closed doors to remain closed,
sooner or later, a proper and good door has opened and I’ve been allowed to
walk through it. I can’t tell you how,
or when it will happen. That is the
faith part of our walk and we have to give God plenty of room to work in those
situations.
I
can’t offer easy answers in this post. I
can only assure you of God’s best interest in all situations in our lives.
I
come back to Romans 8:28
“We
know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him.”
May
you find courage and encouragement in these words.
