Trust and walk with God

Greetings:
We know that sometimes doing things that you are called to do by God may look to other people, who see only through their own eyes, as being foolish or irrational.
How many of you know that God's plan for you might have you stepping out in faith and doing something that is different, out of your own character?
How many of you know that our lives are unpredictable?
Have you ever watched the swell of  ocean waves that looked menacing from far away become only a ripples by the time they arrived on the shore.
Life is that way. An approaching problem may look menacing, like a huge wave coming toward you, but by that time it confronts you it may not be nearly as bad as imagined in our minds that many times don't see the whole picture or the whole plan.
Being obedient to God is want matters.
The key is to pray, and learn God's plan for your life and act on it, even if it takes some faith and stepping out into unknown waters where you can't see the bottom and don't know what lies ahead with each small cautious step forward.
The place to start understanding is reading God's Word –– the Bible.
It's the road map, the instruction manual, the fix-it guide, the source that has more answers to your questions than Google, Yahoo or any online search site.
When God calls you out, you’ll find yourself in a totally different environment–a place you’ve never been before, a place you’re not used to, a place where you’re different or doing something totally different from everyone around you,  a place where you must depend on God and no one else or no one else can or is willing to help you.
Be encouraged. God is not calling you out for nothing. God is up to something. God has a plan, and his plan is always for your good.
In Jeremiah 29:11 we read: “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
In Hebrews 11 we also read that 'without faith it is impossible to please him'.
So, if you find yourself in an unfamiliar place, and you don’t know what to do, there’s really only one thing to do – trust God.

Pray with expectancy

  Note - For the next several days I will be off the grid with no Internet or phone service. I will resume my morning writings on Monday.  ...
