Letting Him Lead...

Sometimes, I wonder if what I'm doing is what God wants me to do. Yes, it may sound like its God's plan to tell others about His love, etc but maybe that's not what He wants me to do now. I don't know... unless of course, I keep praying and spend more time with Him, listening to what He wants to say to me, which I'll be honest with you, I'm kinda impatient :(

Today, it became clear that I shouldn't be rushing things. When it all started, I had this "ultimate" plan, to bring the church to the workplace. But time and again, there were obstacles. One by one, it seemed like a sign to me that it won't work. From the so-called "ultimate" plan, it became a plan that I can only do so few things, and then to only one thing, and tonight, all is gone, and had I tell you the reason why even this last one is gone, you'll know it really is God's intention to stop me from proceeding :)

Well ya, disappointed, I am, but I'll just have to let Him lead, and not be leading Him :) This reminds me of a few verses...

Proverbs 19:2 of NLT:
"Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes"

...which is so right! I was so fired at the start, and did all of it with my own strength, which shouldn't have been the case, for it is from Him, I should be getting the strength!

Nehemiah 8:10 of NLT:
"...for the joy of the Lord is your strength"

Again! How spot on is that?! I should be spending more time with Him, to read His Word, and to listen to Him. That way, all that I do will be what He wants me to do! And another one,

Proverbs 3:5-6 of NLT:
"5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take."

Ya! I think I depended on my own understanding too much, and not "consult" Him about the plan. Well, despite this lesson, I'm still fired to do what I have in mind, but this time, I'll take it slow, and to bring God into the picture, not just doing it all by myself. And to end this, a little prayer...

Lord, I commit all that I have to You, for You're the Almighty, the Beginning and the End, and with man, it may not be possible, but with You, all is possible! Amen!
