Whose Driving?
It is so hard to take out hands off the steering wheel of our lives and allow the Lord to do the driving.
Often we want to say, “Lord, don’t you think we should take this road, instead of the other one? You know the other road seems pretty bumpy to me and I am not so sure I want to go that way. Are you really sure Lord?”
And the thing is, that in our heart of hearts we know that He would not lead us down any road or path that we could not travel because He has already prepared the way before us and we know that we will be made stronger by the things that we endure, that we go through, that they are just for a season.
We know that as we go through them, that the character of Christ is being formed in us. That He has made us to be overcomers. That we can and will prevail in Him.
Since last Monday, May 9th, I have not picked up a pen. I left it lay there as I went through things in my life, things that the Lord was touching, healing, closing wounds and revealing others that needed His touch.
I told the Lord that I didn’t want to write for the sake of writing. I want to write because that is what He wants. He knows my heart is to be a ready writer, a pen in His hands.
He has put me in a place where my dependency is totally on Him. That I am to look to Him and that is a very scary but hopeful place to be. To know that He is the all sufficient one. He is my provider.
I ask my friends that you would pray for open doors of ministry, of provision, of guidance for Hill Country Thoughts.
I know that my father’s plans are good plans and He has given me a new passion, an unquenchable hunger for His Word, His presence and He is giving me a passion to write.
It is only when we are consumed of Him that we find the strength to walk in His ways. He wants us to share that which will strengthen others in their walk with Him.
Let us share the bread of life, let us share the Lord Jesus Christ and let us follow the road that He has set before us.
Till later,
Paul
