One of the things we hear a lot with faith is this – we don’t know which way to go.
We don’t know what decision to make. We we don’t know how to proceed, what to choose, what to do.
And, we don’t just hear that, do we? We experience it. Everyone one of us today, reading these thoughts, we’ve experienced that feeling. We’ve experienced that struggle. We’ve experienced that moment of looking up to the heavens and shouting – God what do I do!?!
We are not alone. One of the reasons why I love the Bible is that it contains every emotion, every thought, every feeling we go through. You and I are not the only folks in the history of creation to not know which way to go or to understand where God is taking us.
Many, many, many Christians through history have felt that and experienced that. We are not alone.
And, this problem will not stay forever. Today, if you are struggling through a decision, through a problem, through a choice,listen to what God says this morning through Isaiah:
He will still be with you to teach you. You will see your teacher with your own eyes. Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.
God will tell you. God will speak. God will show you.
He will. It will happen. You can trust. You will know what to do.
So, today, if you are trying to make a decision, if you have a choice to make, perhaps the thing you need to worry about isn’t that choice. Perhaps the thing you need worry about it is listening.
Are you listening to God? I’m not asking are you telling God what you’d “like” to do. But, are you making yourself quiet? Are you blocking out all other noises and voices? Are you making yourself still?
And listening for the voice of God?
He will speak. He will lead. He will show.
Today, if you are in the midst of a choice, listen. Listen. God will speak. God will lead.
