This is the Way, Walk ye in it…

God will lead and guide you in your daily life, y’all.

He will help you with big decisions, small decisions… as much of Him you want, you can have… He loves it.

I had a new job opportunity that kept coming my way.

I wasn’t looking for a new job, and I was very happy where I was, and really not wanting to change.

This job just kept coming so much, I asked God about it.

“Am I supposed to go there?”

I turned it down a couple of times, and it still was there.

A great job, I was shocked it was still open, I just kept asking and waiting on Him to show me.

I got the impression to apply, doubting it would work out, or that they’d call me.

They called.

I interviewed really quickly, and they offered me the job the next day.

I asked God.

I still didn’t know.

It would involve Charlotte and daycare changes and a lot of work to transition some routines at home.

But I felt I needed to proceed.

So I said, this amount, this condition, this and that, and all the doors were wide open.

I prayed, God, close the doors, the windows, take the desire of it’s not you.

Kept getting stronger.

One night, I was praying about the job out loud, about Charlotte in daycare, worried because it was crunch time and I didn’t know what to do…and as I was praying out-loud, and instantly I heard a nearly audible voice in my spirit saying, “this is the way walk ye in it..”

It literally stopped my prayer… I had heard it before and I knew it was a scripture, but I didn’t know where from. I said, “okay God I’ll look it up.”

Got my Bible out, and found the verse in Isaiah.

Isaiah 30:20-21Though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of oppression, yet your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will [constantly] see your Teacher. Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left. And you will defile your carved images overlaid with silver, and your cast images plated with gold. You will scatter them like a bloodstained cloth, and will say to them, “Be gone!”

Well, there was not much more to say to Him after that than ‘yes Sir.’

I didn’t understand. I didn’t know what the change may bring.

But that was it.

That was my word.

I moved forward and it’s been so amazing His grace that accompanies me.

Has it been easy?

No ma’am. Not in the slightest.

It’s been tremendously hard.

But Romans 8:28 came alive. As we walk with Him in the daily, seeking and asking Him and only wanting His Will, He works it all for our good.

Romans 8:26-28: Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

I’m a nobody in my own strength. But I’m more than a conqueror in His…

I need God kind of help every single day.

If He tells me, shows me, points me in His path for me, He wants to do it for you, too.

Seek His way, hear His voice, and trust…

And go on and walk ye in it.
