I believe this is a time when you can see in these times of change if a person is really trusting in the Lord. It can be easy to trust in our routine and our schedules. But we are to put all our trust in the Lord. The Bible says that, " Many are the plans in a mans heart, but the Lord directs his path." Proverbs 21:19 this goes to show us that our full trust should be in God because He directs us anyway. He is the one that is guiding us. In Phillipians 1:6 Paul says that Christ is faithfull to finish the good work which he started in us. This should be really encouraging to us to know that as we work out this life that God is working behind the scenes and directing us. He is the fuel to our fire! He is the reason we keep on moving.
I have just graduated from Christ For The Nations bible school and am moving on to the next phase in my life. it can be hard to trust in God for whats next 'cause i don't know exactly where i fit in in the large scheme of things. the one thing i do know is that He is in controll.
No matter what i decide to do and the direction that i choose to go, I know that God is with me and he will never leave or forsake me. He is with me till the end! and i will stay by his side, fully committed to Him.
The reason I think that so many christians start to loose there hope, joy, and passion for God is the start trying to run after happyness in there own personal dreams apart from Christ. Now don't get me wrong i think we are to do what we love to do, but do it for Christ. Don't try and find happiness apart from God. We are to serve God with all joy. it is suppose to be the things we do with overwhelming gladness. If WE seek to bring God glory in everything we do we will have joy. Serve God with the fullness of Joy, but remember that Joy is also a gift and God gives us that gift. Ask him for it. He wants you to be Full of joy with him. It is all about Him. If you are most satisfyed in Christ all the time it wont matter what your doing or where you go, He will be your treasure. Christ is suppose to be our treasure and nothing else! Also i think its important to say that we are to be even joyfull in the mits of suffering. It sounds like a weird things to say but it can be very easy to loose our joy when things go bad for us! Remember our hope is Christ! Look through your circumstances and see Christ in His Glory and the Hope he has given you for eternal life and living with Him. That is the supreme Joy!
Hebrews 12:1,2
