What Is It Going To Take To Get You "There"? Will You Take The Path Of Least Resistance?

"There" is a place where God wants you to be.   It is a place of peace, prosperity and freedom.  It is a place where "when" you pray....God answers.   When you move....God goes before you.   It is a place of confidence and a place of trust.   It is a place that is free of doubt and worry.   It is a place where you completely rely on your relationship with God and you no longer look for what you can do.   Only what God can do through you.    The questions that you ask in your place called "there" are questions related to "what more" can you do "for" God instead of what can God do for you.  

The place called "there".   The place of arrival.   When something arrives.....it is delivered.   It is no longer in route.    It has reached its destination.   That's what God wants.   He wants you to reach your destination in Him.   It's called destiny.    

Now it's up to you.   There are two paths for you to choose from.   The first path has been paved and the second path takes you through the woods......the wilderness.   Which path do you want to take?   The path where all the trees and stumblingblocks have been removed or the path where you  have no idea what you will encounter?   It is interesting how we sometimes pick the harder route when the access gate is set right before us.   The key to open the access gate is our obedience.   But rather than obey, we tend to take the lesser path that takes us through many wilderness experiences.    The thing about the wilderness is that it is filled with the unknown.   God has placed light on His path.    The light of His word that is designed to help you, to provide you with hope, and to fill you with comfort when you encounter the unexpected.   

What happens when you encounter the unexpected and you are left with no hope, no understanding, and no logic?  Sometimes there are no logical answers for what you go through in life.    There are no ways to explain what has happened.   At that point you have to have a solid foundation.  What you have to understand is that you can never fall below your foundation.    So how you lay your foundation and what it is built on matters.    If your foundation is not built on the right thing....your foundation can sink and everything built on it will sink with it.   But if your foundation is sure.....though winds and life may come against it.....though the structure built on the foundation may suffer damage.....the foundation stands sure and a rebuilding process can take place.   

Make your foundation sure today.    Know what you believe and in whom you believe.   Don't sway.   When something teeter totters back and forth.....it loosens.   What stabilizes it begins to loosen and cause it to no longer be secure.    Stability comes from being still.   God said to be still and know that He is God.  

Will you take the path of least resistance today and allow God to "be" your stabilizing force?   Will you go where you can see and seek rather than trying to search and siege?    Siege means a "prolonged" effort to try to overcome something.

What Do You Do When You Are Not Sure What To Do?

In the midst of all the trials that come with life, what do you do when you don’t know what to do?   Do you quit?   Do you give in?   Do you...
