His Will or not?

Ah, one of the most asked questions when we get to crossroads – is this His will or my own?

This morning as I reflected on Isaiah 43:18-21 I could look back on situations and see that God did confirm that I needed to move and then other times, He showed me that I had to stay.

Verse 18 “But forget all that – it is nothing compared to what I am going to do” (NLT)

I love The Message version because it makes me think of it with another way:

Verse 18 “Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new.”

Verse 21 “… the people I made especially for myself, a people custom-made to praise me.”

Even as I’m in the middle of things now, some super small, some which will literally, be life altering – I just need to keep remembering that He is in control and that I just need to continue to seek after Him.

He has created us to praise Him – so no matter the decision I make (e.g. in His will obviously but as it may not be what I want … which at the end of the day, if it’s not His will then I shouldn’t really be so concerned about it anyway :p) I need to praise Him throughout everything. It’s weird to think that some things which I’ve been praying for are going to come to pass – I just have no idea of the specifics … He has it all in control =)
