The Lord directs the steps of the Godly. He delights in every detail of their life.
Psalms 37:23
Are you at a crossroads with trying to make a really tough decision? Have you continously sought the Lord about something to no prevail? Are you fed up with waiting to hear from God on what you should do next?
A few months back I was in South Carolina visiting a friend and her family. I spoke with her brother and sister in law about how I just felt like God wasn't hearing my prayers. I expressed how I was growing weary and needing to make a decision soon on rather to return home or give Texas another year. I also shared with them that I desired belonging, something that I had effortlessly back home.
(This year taught me vulnerability I must admit because I went from being very closed off about my weaknesses to sharing them unashamedly. I guess I just came to a place of surrender, seeking answers and direction from whomever could provide them. Crossroads do that.)
Her siblings encouraged me alot that weekend I was there. Challenged me to trust God and wait for Him but one thing that stood out the most was when her brother said the Lord directs the steps of the Godly. I've heard that verse so many times. Have written it down and memorized it but when I say I instantly felt relief the moment he said it, I did. (It's funny how the word of God hits different in different seasons.)
I struggle with trying to do everything on my own and I often take on other peoples issues and before I know it I'm carrying a burden to heavy for me to carry and more importantly one that wasn't meant for me to carry in the first place.
The Lord directs the steps of the Godly. That means when we place our faith and trust in God, we are under His complete guidance and control. That means we don't always have to know whats next or fret over what to do next. That means we dont have to carry heavy burdens that weren't meant for us to carry.
Jesus carries our burdens and is fully capable of doing so. Step by step He is there directing us when we release control and surrender our will for His. There is no need to worry because our lives are in His hands. We don't have to be anxious about anything because He's always with us. He delights in every detail of our lives.
In the beginning we can see how detailed God was when creating Earth. The way He aligned the stars in the sky, the planets and the sun. Our God is a detailed God. He knows every hair on our head and every fiber of our being. This God delights in every detail of our lives. This God loved us so much that He became man to save us from our sin. This God is a God that sits high and looks low. This God knows the beginning to the end. This God is able and capable.
This God is directing your steps.
The decision you have to make, the prayer that you've prayed continously is not too big or too small for Him. We have a God who is able to orchestrate all things to work together for our good. Take your burdens and lay them at His feet and ask Him to direct your steps. He wants to, He's able to and He's ready to.
Never stop praying.
Never stop going to Him.
