Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. - John 14:6, KJV
It's easy to look back in retrospect and wonder "what if"? There are many times where I wonder if I have made mistakes (when it comes to choices that I have made concerning where I'm at today). I've made mistakes like anyone else, but I can say with confidence that GOD has been leading me the entire way. We trip, stumble, and fall, but when you cry out for GOD'S Will for your life, then there's no way He will let you get off track! The key is to do it His way! He has great plans for all of those who believe in Him and His Son (through Whom salvation is given i.e. JESUS) as outlined in Jeremiah 29:11. Being a Christian means that we are following JESUS and doing things His way. If His will is for you to marry, then He is going to establish that relationship in your life His way! You may think it will happen through an online dating service or by going to church and He may very well have you run into "the one" while you're out getting groceries. GOD'S timing is perfect. He is a precise GOD; a GOD of order. GOD'S ways are not our own (Romans 11:33, KJV) and He has a habit for going outside of people's perspectives to do the unfathomable; keeping us on our toes to understand that nothing is impossible for Him. He's GOD! This leads me to Naaman in 2 Kings 5, KJV.
Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper -2 Kings 5:1
While reading this a couple of months ago, I was encouraged to see how GOD showed up for Naaman in a way that he wasn't expecting. GOD'S answer wasn't "no", but it was "yes, this is the way". If you haven't read this passage of scripture before then this would be a great bible study for you to dig into; thus me not giving away how GOD healed Naaman of his leprosy! Nonetheless, GOD made a way that challenged Naaman's perception. Naaman was looking for a grand act of GOD concerning his healing and GOD moved in a way that was simple yet miraculous once accomplished. It causes me to think of how He is moving in my own life. I'm anticipating GOD to show up in my life in a way that He never has before, BUT...He is indeed going to do it on a scale I can't fathom! The same is true for you! Whatever it is that you are believing GOD to do on your behalf, you can rest assure that He is going to do it in a way that you won't expect. The cool thing is that the desire is fulfilled. It would be hard to accept that that desire isn't going to happen, but to know that it will (just not how you had planned) should be thrilling! This is GOD'S way of surprising His children. We must continue to walk in Faith, trusting GOD that He will work everything out for our good. Sometimes, it can feel like nothing is happening and that GOD is just sitting up in Heaven watching us worry in anxiety, but the truth is that He has been moving on our behalf the entire time orchestrating with precision the details that pertain to our #breakthrough!
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose - Romans 8:28
Simply put: whatever it is that you are trusting GOD for, know that He is going to do it #hisway and not yours. He will get the glory for your story! If GOD did it how we wanted it to be then we would forget that He did it and take the credit. We can't steal the credit for something that we could never comprehend in the first place! This is a beautiful reminder that He indeed is thee one true GOD!
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing - John 5:15
Listen to this beautiful Praise song that perfectly depicts how GOD is working all things for our good!
