Good morning.
Two nights ago, on our way to the Hull life group we attend, I noticed sadly that it was basically dark by the time we got there. I can happily say that in a mere 2 months or 60 days from now, it will be getting lighter here in New England every day! That said, how many of us are happy to stumble toward our goals through a confusing, mazelike landscape in near darkness? Have you ever wondered, “Why doesn’t God make things easier for us?”
In the Psalms David muses:
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk (Ps 143:8).
When facing a large job change, or life change, I know some Christians who’ve been stuck for years waiting for God to point out a clear direction. They are never willing to make a decision, or push a cracked door to see if it opens to greater potential and possibility. Doesn’t God know that we’re trying our best to follow him? Surely, He hears us when we pray for His will, and He knows we need as many large, clear signs as possible to keep us walking in a good direction.
Well yes – God does know.
He’s given us very clear guidelines in ethical and moral matters. But, think of this. It’s been said,
“It’s easier to steer a car that is already moving.”
What is often required is that we have faith – even the size of a mustard seed. We have just enough light and wisdom to see the road immediately ahead if we look hard. God has not handed down specific guidelines for our lives. We’ll look at this and other aspects of the second verb phrase of our purpose during the message time: “Take Action.”
We had a great turn out for the Press-In meeting last night. Thank you to all who came!
Just a reminder that Elizabeth Hunt’s Celebration of Life service is here Saturday at 10:30 AM.
In Him,
Seth
