A Devotional for such a time as this: - from: Stanley, C. F. (2000). Into His presence (p. 298). Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers. __________ A Way in the Wilderness SCRIPTURE READING: Isaiah 43:18–19 KEY VERSE: Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. It is amazing how God’s still small voice can echo so loudly as soon as we step outside His plans for us. The restlessness we sometimes feel but can’t figure out may be a sure sign God is working in our lives. “Behold, I will do a new thing,” God promises in Isaiah. He doesn’t say that He could or might do something. He says He will do it. So what hinders Him? Almost exclusively, we do. God often sends frustration, a slight pressure, a restlessness to keep us from settling outside His will. We may think we know best about the most mundane of crossroads, but God has a unique way of showing us when we’re wrong. If you feel certain that you are right about a circumstance, honestly assess whether you have conferred with God enough to have reached your conclusion. Have you asked His opinion? Have you searched His Word? Have you asked His guidance? If you are within God’s will, His restlessness may fill you when you are about to step outside His will. If you already have stumbled, you will never have true peace until you have asked His forgiveness and guidance down even your most familiar paths. It boils down to a matter of trust. Do you trust an all-powerful God who loves you so much that He pledges to make roadways in the wilderness and rivers in the desert? Father, I trust You to make a way in the wilderness of this world. Don’t let me settle for anything less than Your perfect will. - via Logos 5 #devotionalforsuchatimeasthis #christjesus #vineofchristministries #theword #studyscripture #god #biblestudy #bible #jesus #faith #dailydevotions #devotional #holyspirit
