" RESIGN WILLINGLY TO GOD'S DIRECTION "

How much do you trust God, and are you always obedient? Take a moment and consider just how you would respond to God if he instructed you to find a spouse. Most of us would eventually come to terms with this life altering request of God after much consideration.

Picture this, Almighty God has just revealed to you that your new wife will be unfaithful to you. She will bear many children, and knowingly some will be fathered by other men. Wow, can you willingly resign to God's direction? If we have paid attention to God's Word " I will work all things for your good. Romans 8:28", then in " Isaiah 58:11 " I will guide you". I have come to realize that it is always best to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. You know when you know that you know. I almost never know what's going to happen or what benefit it will be for me. Even though following the directions of God may cause some headaches from time to time, it's very important that we trust God. It's also paramount that we don't lose our appreciation or our special relationship with The Father. Scout out the ramifications of dreams and ambitions that do not include him, so we stay on the path of righteousness.

Listen in today's world it seems that everything we wear, purchase and eat has been suggested by some greedy Ad Person. We can search after other loves, rather than the love of our spouse. It seems that we can pick up almost any newspaper or even go online and be informed that so and so has just left his or her spouse. Love of money, or recognition, Love of power and even pleasure can be very powerful. The magnetic luring of this world can be very seductive. Are you loyal to God, remaining completely faithful, or have other loves taken first place? There is still hope for those who turn back to God. No loyalty, achievement, or honor can be compared to loving Him. Turn to the Lord while the offer is still good. No matter how far you have wandered off or how low one sinks, God is willing to buy us back - to redeem us - and to lift us up again.

Until next time...
