Day Three: Today’s Plan, Trust God and Get Direction.

Grace and Peace be multiplied unto you, through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus Christ Our LORD.

Today is day number three in our journey with the LORD. Congratulations you are well on your way to victory. Be encouraged by what has gone on so far. You have been praying. You have been fasting. One thing we can all be sure of is that we are doing this because we believe God has a plan, and that we believe that God alone will meet by God and our needs. I want to encourage you today from the word of God.

New Living Translation
Prov. 3:5 ¶          Trust in the LORD with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Prov. 3:6          Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.

When we engaged in fasting, often the sentiments that arise in us is, does this really work? Am I afflicting my body (fasting) for a religious ritual? I don’t really know if this will work and I am doing this hoping God will answer. I don’t know if this is the way I should go about getting what I need? What do I do? Should I continue, or am I crazy for doing this?

The word of God speaks to our ambiguity even in times like this. Beloved, trust in God. I know that seems like a platitude, but it really is the best advice one could receive. Trust in the LORD, not only as a matter of intellectual assent but with all your heart. Our mind often tries to reason us out of our miracle. Often we tend to believe what we can see or feel. The word of the LORD for us is not to do that. Don’t depend on your own understanding. It does not matter how brilliant we are, we are not God. As such, we do not know what God will do, nor do we understand everything God will do. Our understanding is not why things work for us. So much has gone right in our life and we cannot explain it, because God’s ways are not like our ways, nor his thoughts like our thoughts. Know that this fast is a good thing. Trust the LORD and not your understanding.

Today, seek his will, God’s will, in all that you do, and God says he, himself will direct you. God will show you which path to take. Seek God’s will in your meetings today. Seek his will as you are talking to your colleagues today. Seek his will as you write your reports, even in how you deal with problems that may come up. God says if you do that, you will know which course to take, because he will show you the path. Do not operate in the dark. Trust God, and God will show give you information on your day. Insure success for today by asking God, “what is your will in this situation?” God has promised clarity.

So our plan today is to ask God, “what is your will LORD”, and God says I will give you direction. I cannot wait to hear the testimonies of how God came through, as you trusted him. Remember Beloved, Trust in the LORD, with all you heart.

Tomorrow, our guest blogger will be my colleague, friend and brother, Pastor Paul Dean. Pastor Dean has agreed to write and encourage us in our journey and we are looking forward to a word from the LORD as giving to us for this season. Thank you Pastor Paul Dean.

Remember, Beloved, Drink as much water as you can, and don’t worry about tomorrow. Just do today.

Live Life on Purpose and not By Mistake,
Yours Because I am His,
