Sometimes, things happen that make us wonder, why? Sometimes God asks us to do things and we just wonder, "what on earth is God doing?" Honestly, we all have right? And we wonder if He is still actively concerned in our lives. But the fact is, we only see till the next turn. We can't see what's after that turn. Two paths may seem similar so we may think, "surely it can't be that bad if I choose the other path instead of what God asked me to right?" But God sees the end of everything. He sees the outcome of every decision we make and the end of every path. What we see is nothing compared to what He does. I was walking down the canal just now on the way back home, and there were 2 paths: I knew I had to cross the bridge eventually, just a matter of crossing it first before walking the long road home or walking the load road first, then cross the bridge. It was pretty dark already, and both paths seemed equally lit to me. I felt like crossing first but I got a prompting to cross after. I didn't know why, but thank God I chose to follow His prompting. I kept walking and walking, wondering what could've been bad bout taking the other road. But as I walked on, I reached a part (behind a few turns) where the lighting was dimmer and poorer and slightly more creepy and I got really thankful that I followed God's prompting. And walked the brightly lit path home. Looking back, doesn't this happen a lot? We don't know what's the difference between two seemingly similar paths, and sometimes picking the other road can be tempting and attractive. But the fact is we don't see the end of the road. The road that seems harmless but not what God is prompting us, who knows, at the end may lie cliffs, life-threatening creatures, traps, etc. That's why we should always look to God for decisions. Ask Him what He wants, what is best for us, what He has planned, and to give you the courage and faith to follow His decision. He knows what's best for us, even when it may not seem like it. Whatever it is, He always does things for our good. Romans 8:28 NLT And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. God intends everything for our good; next time when you need to make a choice, seek God's advice and help. And if God seems to make us do something, trust that it's for nothing less than the best for us, and for His glory (which ultimately brings us joy as well!)
