Teach meYour way, O Lord, that I may walk and live in Your truth; direct and unite my heart [solely, reverently] to fear and honor Your name. (Psalm 86:11)
If we listen to God's voice and live God's way, if we choose to serve Him, we can avoid long wrestling matches with Him. Wisdom tells us to let God do with us what He wants, so we don't keep going around and around the same "mountain " all the time (see Deuteronomy 2:3). I have met people who have been dealing with the same obstacles and issues for twenty or thirty years. If they had simply obeyed God in the beginning, they would have moved on with their lives long ago.
No matter how much we may enjoy where we are when God finds us, He will not let us stay there and become stagnant. He has new places to take us and new lessons to teach us. He wants to keep us full of life, full of growth, and full of His purposes and plans.
God has said to us, "If you don't pay attention to Me, if you ignore Me and do not give heed to My reproof, I am going to cry out to you. I will try to help you, but if you continue to give Me a deaf ear, you will come to Me in a panic when you get in trouble" (see Proverbs 1:24-28). God is merciful and long-suffering, but there comes a time when we must realize that we just need to be obedient to Him. The sooner we obey and start living God's way, the sooner we can get on with our lives and move forward in God's way, the sooner we can get on with our lives and move forward in God's good plans.
GOD'S WORD FOR YOU TODAY: Pray, obey, and don't delay!
