Psalm 27:11, Teach me your way oh Lord and lead me in a straight path…
If we are not seeking God for guidance, we are leading ourselves. Maybe that’s why we go from job to job, and relationship to relationship, because we don’t have that relationship with the one who wants to lead you out of your Egypt, (bondage). Exodus 15:13 - Don’t keep going in circles.
My conversation with a friend of mine who works at Publix, inspired me to write this. He works full time at Publix, was married and searching for happiness. He just got a part time job at Disney and loves it. His face was all a glow when he told me what he does, and how much he loves it. He was so excited. Then in the very next sentence he said, “But I’m not staying here, this place has nothing for me.”
I’ve spoken to him several times about Jesus, and how John 4:13 says that no one is ever satisfied until they have this true relationship and love that never leaves you. We could run from state to state, and from relationship to relationship, but you will always come up feeling empty. The only place that has nothing for you, is a heart and life without Jesus. So why not ask yourself, “Do I have this relationship?"
Say a prayer: Jesus, I’m tired of running my own life. I need you, and want you to direct me. I believe you died for my sins, and you are the risen Lord, the Son of God. I need you to be my Savior. Come into my heart and lead me into real life in a way everlasting…Psalm 139:24
When you take hold of the steady, skillful hand that Psalm 78:72 talks about, you will have true peace, and stop running.
God understands we all want to be happy at our jobs, and in a relationship, but it starts with Him… Matthew 6:33, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things should be added to you.” When we get the order of life in line with Him first, then our life will fall into place.
So if you find yourself always asking God why, ask God, “How do I get right with you? I want who you have for me, and what you have for me to do. Direct this life you’ve given me. I’m yours.”
Grace and Peace
