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 \u2018<i>you were going in the wrong direction with that project\u2019<\/i>. A very practical lesson on His ways are not our ways!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Did I have to loose my jotter to learn that? Couldn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Prayer<\/b>: 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts\u2019 Isa.55:9 [KJV]. &nbsp; Today I will be sharing an experience with you.
