"The Steps Of The Righteous Are Ordered Of The Lord"

Psalm 37:23

Sometimes we question whether we are truly able to "hear" whenever God is talking to us.  This challenge is not just true of new "believers" but applies to those who have been following the Lord for many years.  When God takes us on a left-hand turn...all we can do is follow that leading, because we can't see very far ahead any longer.

That may happen gradually, or it may happen all at once....known as a "suddenly."  I've just experienced one of those all-at-once suddenly moments.  My life has been going along excitedly, but also rather predictably, but this very day I received an interesting e-mail from my husband which indicated that he "thought of me" as he was reading an invitation from a school principle to consider reading to children.  That would be quite surprising if it had been the only "sign" that God  might be talking to me, but there were at least two more "signs."

So, I have to take a step of faith, move out of my comfort (familiar) zone and see "What's next?"  On the surface, I will admit it doesn't look very exciting.  But I've walked this path before and what seemed like a mundane endeavor lead to some rather amazing results.  The most important thing is that I trust MY GOD.  If he needs me to fill a "hole" somewhere, "anywhere", I'll fill it, theoretically speaking.

I will have to keep you posted in a future blog as to how this left hand turn works out.  I can only see the 1st step at this time, but I believe in the promise that "my footsteps are ordered by the Lord"!!  Do you?

If you aren't sure you can trust Him, then ask him for His very own Helper:  the Holy Spirit!  He is your counselor and teacher and I GUARANTEE you can definitely TRUST HIM!!!
