New Direction!

‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts’ Isa.55:9 [KJV].

Today I will be sharing an experience with you. I trust that God will use this experience to teach, shape, mold, and humble you as He did me. I trust that this experience will help you understand and appreciate the sovereignty of God even more in Jesus Name. ‘For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts’ Isa.55:9. I got the direction for a project God wanted me to do. So I sought God and began to prepare. I was off very quickly in a very good direction. Well as far as I was concerned it was really good. Then something very strange happened while I was in transit from one location to another. Naturally I travel with notes, so that I can work on the go. I was in a very crowded place waiting for my next move when I suddenly realized that there was something I had to attend to urgently. So I got up and headed out via public transport for at least 15minutes. I had arrived at bus stop before I realized that I had forgotten my notes behind. The natural thing would be to go back and get it right? But I felt God leading me to go and finish what I had to do then search for my notes on my way back. Tough one! It took me another 15minutes to walk to where I was going, sort out what I was doing. Then I had to walk back; another 15minutes then took the public transport back to where my jotter was. At least 2,000 people must have passed the place where I was seated. But on my way back it dawned on me that the Holy Spirit was saying ‘you were going in the wrong direction with that project’. A very practical lesson on His ways are not our ways!

Did I have to loose my jotter to learn that? Couldn’t you just tell me I was heading in the wrong direction? Would that not have been easier? But I consulted You? So why? A lot of us are just set in our ways. And realigning us might mean God taking us totally away from 90% in our own direction, to a fresh start in His direction. For your information, I still found my notes and I got amazing new direction.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I surrender totally to Your direction. It might not be an easy route to take yet I will rather go Your way than my way, in Jesus Name.
