Good morning, Papa God!
I have read Your Word and now I stop to listen for Your voice. Speak to my heart Your words of wisdom and peace and direction. You are my Good Shepherd and I am Your sheep. I hear Your voice and I follow You. That is my heart’s desire, Lord. I know, from my viewpoint, that my path seems very erratic, taking on a wandering aimless feel. But You, my God, have chosen my path and set my feet on it. From Your viewpoint, it is steadfast. You are my Refiner. You refine my path and see changes within me as a result of Your refinement. No matter what my eyes see or my mind conjures up that would derail me, I am determined to believe You and trust in what You are planning for me. I rest in You and Your Sovereignty, even when my days are like today – no real objective, no tasks or assignments. Maybe I am so used to these types of days that I am missing Your opportunities or failing to engage in them. But, even now, I am beginning to recognize Your guidance with the small things I can do today – make calls, pray, write entries, study and prepare to teach. I choose to hear and listen and be faithful in what I know to do.
Good morning, My child!
Yes, your path seems to you to be bewildering and erratic. I know you are feeling “empty” and “directionless”. But this is “normal” while you are in transition, change, and preparation. The only thing you can do in times like these when I am refining you is to keep moving forward - one step, one day at a time. You can’t feel “planted” until I have prepared the soil for planting. Oh, and by the way, the final harvest of your life will only be known when you are home with Me. It would help your countenance and attitude if you began to enjoy the journey, and make memories as you go – not only for you, but for your legacy of generations behind you. Try to begin to enjoy life again during this refining and preparation time. Laugh again! It’s beautiful to see and hear! Lovingly, Your Dad
(John 10:14, 27-29; Phil.4:11)
