Wow!!!

I was going to write about something that was on my mind when something else popped into my head and I forgot what I was originally going to say. Oh well, that is the way it goes sometimes.


Too often, we tend to act within the moment, instead of waiting as we should, to make an important decision. How many times, after you did something, do you ask yourself," Now why didn't I wait before I decided to do that?" How many times have you looked back in hindsight and realized that you had made a mistake because you responded or acted in haste ? Think about it for a moment. Too often we do act out in haste and cause our self more problems then we should.

We need to learn to wait and not make hasteful /split second decisions. We need to stop, to think, and to pray about each decision we are about to make. If we do stop, think, and pray then we are giving thought to what we are doing and we are seeking the Lord's guidance in it. If we seek the Lord's guidance He will give it to us. Proverbs 3:5-7 tells us to trust in the Lord and to acknowledge Him in all thy ways. He will direct our paths if we do as He instructs us to do.

Proverbs 3:5-7
5) Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7) Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

Putting your faith and trust in the Lord is what must be done in all things, in all ways, and all areas of our lives. God will not lead us wrong. It is self that leads us astray from where God wants us to be. It is self that gets in the way of the Lord's leading. We all need to get self out of the way and do as the Lord asks us to do in His Word, the Holy Bible.

Next time you decide to take things into your own hands, next time you decide to act in haste, next time you decide to do something that the Lord would not approve of, stop, think, and pray. Wait upon the Lord and the answer He has for you. Why settle for less when what God has to offer, and directs you to, is the best ? Seek the Lord with all thine heart, with all thine soul, with all thine mind and focus upon Him and you will see that by waiting upon the Lord you will be rewarded in ways that you could never have imagined before. The Lord will prosper you, provide for you, and sustain you. He will be your everything if you allow Him to be.

Don't act in haste. Don't make decisions on the spur of the moment. Always take the time to stop, think, and pray and let God lead thine way. You will not go wrong following the Lord Jesus Christ for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Light/Life for all who choose to follow Him. Follow God's lead.
