Chose To Follow The Lord

We have all faced times when we have had to make hard choices in life.  Sometimes making a choice is easy, but other times we really need some direction.  It is always important that we go to the Lord in prayer and ask for His direction and His guidance.  We may have that deep longing within our hearts to do something for the Lord, but we must be careful to seek His will and His direction for our lives.  It is tempting to run on ahead on our own without consulting the Lord.  We don't know what lies ahead of us on life's path, but the Lord does and we should be calling out to Him for direction.  We need to wait at times,  but that doesn't mean that we aren't to do anything. 

We must continue to call out to the Lord in prayer.  We also need to continue reading the Bible and meditating on Scripture.  We need to worship the Lord and continue to seek His face.  Waiting is hard at times especially when we want an answer right away.  We must remember God's timing is always perfect. 

The Lord knows what needs to take place in order for your prayers to be answered.  God may be working in other people's lives in order for you to be blessed in the future.  The Lord is working in your life and in the lives of others all around us.  He is doing things that we can't see at the moment.  He is changing hearts and attitudes.  He is also changing us as well. 

There are somethings that need to change in our lives.  There are things in our hearts that need to be changed and the Holy Spirit will help us over come those things if we submit to His will.  It is a choice that we have to make.  The choice that is whether we will obey the Lord or not obey Him. 

We all have that choice to make.  The Lord wants us to follow Him and to be obedient to Him in all things.  Unfortunately sometimes we get selfish and foolish and try to do things in our own strength and power.  Things always go better when we obey the Lord's direction and be obedient to His will.

The Lord is calling for us to follow Him.  May we be bold and confident in His ability to lead us and direct our steps.  The Lord knows what He is doing and He does have our best interest in mind.  We just need to follow Him and more importantly we need to trust Him.  The Lord will equip us to do whatever He has called us to do and He will provide for us so we will be able to do His will for His Glory.

Let us chose to follow the Lord wherever He calls us and let us take courage and trust Him to help us through it.

He is an Awesome God.  We can count on Him to help us to do whatever He calls us to do.  The Lord may be calling us to serve Him in our local Church, He may call us to serve as a missionary in a far away land, He may want us to visit a lonely neighbor who needs to know that someone cares, or He may be calling us to the ministry.

We have a choice to either to be obedient to the Lords call and His promptings or not.  When we are obedient we can be assured that the Lord will bless us and give us the endurance that we need to succeed in whatever situation He has called us to.   That doesn't mean it will be easy because it may not be easy at all, but the Lord will help us.

May we chose to follow the Lord wherever He leads us.
