God at the Crossroads: Choosing His Way Over Ours.
A crossroad is usually used to depict a point of decision, it can be in various paths of our lives be it an academic decision, financial one or any type of decision that needs to be made. Plus sometimes decisions are not known for their simplicity as just like the crossroad picking a left or a right turn can take you to two different paths which may not even be similar in anyway and usually when or if things go wrong because of our decisions we tend to blame ourselves or an individual that advised us to make that decision. Here comes the God factor;
God comes into the picture and He says He can take that burden from you, i know right, isn’t that great and God is not anybody who you can’t wholeheartedly trust His vast knowledge and wisdom. What better way to live your life than for God almighty to be the one plotting and directing your path allowing you to be rest assured that whatever point you are in your live is the best you can have and should be grateful to the Him for has helped you and for His continuous help and availability.
If that kind of an offer is available, why should anyone looks past it? should there even be any reason for that ? There shouldn’t, but here comes pride, that thing that makes us feel we should be in full control of our lives, but why should we if there one with infinite wisdom, knowledge and understanding, one that knows the beginning from the end offering to help us to take control of our path in life not to mention taking the burden that comes with decision making (the guilt we feel for making bad decisions).
Don’t miss out on this opportunity today, if you have been shouldering the burden of decision making, walking the crossroads alone. You can lay that burden at the feet of Jesus today and let Him carry your burden and let His will be your life, live for God and escape the guilt of wrong decisions because once your path is plotted by the almighty and you fully trust Him and follow His path, there will be no wrong decisions to make and that will be the best decision you will make (fulfilling God’s will).
Doors: opened or closed.
It’s a new year and I guess most of us have our new year resolutions, we’ve been reminded the promises from our Father in heaven, and we are in great form (in mind and in spirit) to take the wins that will come this year.
But while being caught in this euphoria we might tend to forget the challenges, trials and even tests we may also face this year. When you’re expecting every door to open in your favor but you’re not seeing that happen and after some time you tend to fall back into the slum of disappointment, relegation and low self-esteem, it may even cause a mental breakdown just like it might have occurred in the past years.
Then you fall back into the “next year will be my year” attitude or slogan. Even though nothing might change because you’re repeating the same mindset year in year out
Closed doors 🚪?
You might have thought God is all about opening doors for you, forgetting that the place you may see as an open door, God may see it as a dead end or a door that you’re not ready for.
I’m not saying you should lose all hope and start the year with a hopeless mindset, just don’t think that because it’s a new year your life will just suddenly be different, as the year is just earth’s complete rotation around the Sun.
Your focus
So, what should be your mindset be? what should you set your focus on? Firstly, know what God’s plan is for you, don’t just guess that this or that is a great opportunity and is therefore God’s plan for your life. Just as the Bible says, “There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof is destruction”.
While waiting
Even while you’re waiting for God’s plan still be up and doing, continue doing the productive and good things you’ve been doing, if you want to start new things, start it, it may be God that laid it in your heart and if it’s not that that’s God’s will for your life He will make it known to you.
Secondly, be more conscious of having a better life, not just because it’s a new year. Also, because it’s a new year doesn’t mean everything is just going to automatically change for you.
In conclusion, as it’s being said when one door closes another one is open, doors are there for us and we should trust God’s prerogative and wisdom on which door to open for us. In God we should all trust.
