Decisions, Decisions

I took a little break from blogging to think about things.  My last real post was about the decisions we make in life and trying to find God’s will for our lives.  I prayed that God will show us very plainly what He wants for our lives.  Patrick and I have been praying about it ever since.

The pastor at the church we are attending shared a special message at church tonight.
He shared from 2 Corinthians 12:7-10.

⁷ And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.⁸ Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. ⁹ And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.¹⁰ Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Have you ever listened to a sermon or message from the Word and known that God was speaking to you?
Well, that is exactly what happened to us.
We have been toying with lots of options for our life – trying to figure out the best path for us – the path that God wants for us.
We have been agonizing over this.
Tonight it was made abundantly clear what we are to do.

And we are going to listen.

What about you?
Is there something in your life that you are thinking or worrying about?
Have you prayed about it?
Are you listening to what God is telling you?
Will you follow His will?

I used to find it difficult to hear God.
I just didn’t really know how to listen for Him.
Read His word.
Listen to others speak His word.
Listen to songs with His word.
You will find Him.

Here’s the take home point from the pastor’s message.

God’s grace is sufficient.  He is enough.

I have something more light-hearted planned for tomorrow.

Thanks for reading!
