If you had asked me just 7 years ago if I would be where I am today, doing what I'm doing, I would have told you that you're crazy.
As I pondered my post from yesterday, that said the seasons of my life are set by God's authority, I became acutely aware of how God has blessed me by leading me down the paths that I have walked. Some of them were tremendous times of blessing and fellowship, other times were filled with consternation and hard lessons learned, still others desolate and lonely but they drew me into a more intimate relationship with Him.
Several times along the way, God put me in places where I felt isolated, I wasn't being fed, and I had to move forward in God by seeking Him outside of the fellowship of the church that I was in. There were even a few times when I felt so out of joint that it seemed as if I was going in the opposite direction as most everyone else. Still, I continued to seek the Lord and eventually, He either brought me around or removed me from it.
Many might say that I’ve faced more than my fair share of trials and tribulations, but through them all, God has been so real to me that I wouldn’t, I couldn’t trade them for an easier road. It’s in those times that I have wonderfully and truly found that God is more than enough in every situation. He’s so real to me.
Psalm 138:8 has always been a favorite verse of mine.
“The LORD will accomplish what concerns me;
Your faithfulness, LORD, is everlasting;
Do not abandon the works of Your hands.
Today, I am thankful for the paths that God has chosen for my life.
