Walking Backwards

Have you ever felt like you were going in the wrong direction?

Well I recently felt that way. Clearly knowing I’m in the will of God but feeling like I took a couple of steps in the wrong direction. I thought to myself “Really?” I wondered what I had done wrong to have to take these steps that I felt were in a direction I had no desire to go.

God’s peace is unshakeable. Unquestionable. And so I continued in a direction that I didn’t want to go…but I trust the One who leads me. I see my situation and know that God will provide for every need. He is my God and I trust Him! What a liberation that has been. I walk in peace. I live comforted knowing that God is guiding me to my “promise land”. So who or what shall I fear? If God be for me…. You know the verse! Now live it!

Sure there are times in our lives that we feel in a way, which words fail us. We just throw our hands up and say “I don’t know”. I’m sure we have all questioned our lives and what has become of it. We could be frustrated with the position of our jobs, finances, marriage or not being in a relationship that leads to marriage. The list goes on…you get my point. But the thing of it is, if God is leading you then know that His plan is far greater than yours could ever be.

So, yes I was humbled and uncertain for a moment regarding my direction. But ultimately all I want is EVERYTHING God has planned for me. So I spent time in prayer. At first I stumbled and felt like my prayers where bouncing off the ceiling. Then silence…..I sat….in His presence. I cried and emptied my thoughts and feelings to the Lord. I sat silently and allowed Him to give me the courage to continue on the path He has placed me on. Peace filled me.

To others it might seem like we are walking backwards. But they just don’t understand…cause…. IT’S A GOD THING!
