Following Your Calling

Living in faith, walking the walk, and trusting God to see us through, irrespective of what we hear and see from those around us. Easier said than done if you are like me, but what freedom and peace it offers when we can trust him and follow his calling on our life.

This has been a trying two weeks for me personally as I continue to follow God's leading on my heart, it has forced me to take the "road less traveled" in a lot of ways. It has not been the easiest path, but I know it is the right path, because God continues to open the doors and grant unprecedented favor along the way, but not without persecutions too.

What encourages me though is I know it is not of my doing alone, for without God's supernatural provision this path would not be possible. I have learned through the years to see his hand print and know his voice. I am reassured each step as he continually opens doors supernaturally, and offers his protection in the persecution. Each step of victory encourages me to take the next step, and the next, until his will is done in my life.

Often we have two scenarios to know if what we are doing is our will or God's. Are we pushing our own agenda and forcing things to happen, forsaking God's principles in the process, or are we walking in his statues and allowing him to open the doors as we walk the walk of faith shinning as God's children, enduring the unjust persecution and hardship, depending on him to make things right? Both are in fact action based, but one does not reflect well on "Christians", and the other shows God's hand in the midst of complete chaos, when there is divine provision and submission by us.

May our prayer this day be: Lord, give us your heart each day, that we may walk in your counsel, looking to you, depending on your divine direction and provision, listening to your still small voice, with confidence. Not my will but yours be done, in Jesus name I pray.
