It is the unknown that is the scariest thing in life at times. The wondering and not knowing what is going to happen next. There are times in life where we think we have things figured out. A time where we think we know each step we are going to take and then we encounter this fork in the road. And one is no longer sure what lies ahead. It can be a bit scary trying to decide what path to choose, which path to commit to and follow. It is unknown where this path is going to take you in life. Afraid of making the wrong choice one will stand still at the fork, not knowing what to do, waiting…
Waiting for what exactly? As Christians this fork in the road is a bit less scary. We have a God that can guide us on where we should go next; what to do next with our lives. We can rely on Him, We can trust our lives with in His hands. He loves us and wants what is best for us. We need to have faith in Him. He already knows the plans for our lives. We just need to listen for him and we need to trust and follow Him. The response may not come when one wants it. One may be stuck at the fork for awhile trying to figure things out. But when one needs to choose a path and move forward, God will guide one the direction He wants one to go.
And until then, until I get to that point where I know what God wants me to do next; I will continue to pray and I will continue to listen for what He wants for me because I know He knows the plans for me.
Jeremiah 29:11-14
11‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.12‘Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.13‘You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.14‘I will be found by you,’ declares the LORD, ‘and I will restore your fortunes and will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,’ declares the LORD, ‘and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’
