GOD SAID: ‘Your ways are not my ways, your thoughts are not my thoughts’ (Isaiah 55:8-9) ‘You have no idea what HE has in store for you’. (1st Corinth 2:9)
Giving your life to God is not like giving your life to selfish self, or the devil, where the guidance is insecure, & disastrous. Who is better to tell you some things about yourself, than your maker. He knows your beginning to the end.
Though we may not understand the process, the END is what matters to God. We may make a mess of things, or feel life is futile at times, but faith in knowing that we serve a FAITHFUL GOD, should enable us to trust him to bring forth the goodness in our lives.
He said ‘his word cannot return to him void.’ The word he placed in you when he made you & said let there be ‘YOU’ is the word he intends to bring to completion in your life if ‘you seek & obey him with all your heart’ DON’T MISS being the vessel you were created to be & loose out on life’s satisfaction.
Pay no attention to what the world & others dictates, or their pace & pattern i.e. Society & Media pressure. Rather ‘draw close to God, & he will draw close to you’ to show you the unique plan he has for YOUR life. He may not do things the way we want it, but that is because we cannot see what he can.
A few examples being: You might be wishing for SOMETHING or SOMEONE who would not work well with you, or for you. You may want something you are not fully trained to have yet, & to receive it prematurely could ruin both you & the blessing. Someone else could be in position, & God has to run the course to work his end plan both in their lives & yours; (Saul & David) (The Amorites, & God people Gen 15:16) after all Gods objective is always to save lives. There could be generational curses, habits, etc, & the spirit of God wants to reveal the truth of your hindrances to you for c
The trick is to stay focused on what you want to happen and let go of what you do not... cuz if you keep seeing things as they are, convincing yourself that you "have to" because that's reality, then it will always be your reality. want to change? it's as simple as changing the who, what, how, why and when of what you look at and FOCUS on... DAILY :)

He has risen,
just as He said..."
