You Can't Get In The Way

I come in contact with so many people that are trying to figure out God's will for their life. Most of those people usually want the "pastoral" answer for their questions. However what I have found in my relationship with the Lord, that God gets what He wants, when He wants it, regardless of you, but he wants you too. For instance, when God wanted it to rain on the earth, and a flood to come, he called Noah. Noah had never seen rain nor knew what rain was. He just simply knew God wanted a boat. Even though Noah didn't have the first clue about rain, he had a hint about a boat. So he built a boat based on obedience, not about his presuppositions about rain. God of course, gave Noah exact dimensions about the details of the boat after he committed to building the boat. What am I saying? I am glad you asked because once you are obedient to do what God has asked you to do, then all the details will fall into place. Many times we want the details up front, but those only come through the faith of obedience. When your patience is frustrated with time, consider Noah. It took him about 100 years to built that boat. For all of us that is more than a lifetime that any of us deserve. However, I have to believe that Noah thought from time to time that maybe he was getting in the way of what God wanted, or maybe it was taking him too long to build the boat! God graced Noah with time to build the ark, and then the rains began. It is God's grace to allow us any time at all, let alone, 100 years. But the payoffs were huge! Noah built an ark for the saving of his house. And God is creating something great inside of you, but it will take time. Hopefully not 100 years, even though it seems that way at times. So don't think that you are in God's way. He is The Way. If you are following Christ to the best of your abilities you won't mess it up, don't worry! The plan of God for our lives is so supernatural that at times I have felt as though I can't do anything to mess this up. Remember for all you control freaks, like myself, God is in control. You cannot mess this up! Let Go and Let God!
