Are you trusting?

Are you trusting in God to give you vision for His will for you? While you are waiting for that will are you fully trusting that it will come? When it comes are you trusting that it is the right thing for you?
These are all questions that we ask in downtime. Those times where you have been following GOd's will and doing all that He is asking of you. You're following that vision that He has given you and now you feel like you are at a crossroad. You're at a pivotal point of questioning whether you are where GOd wants you to be. Whether you are at the end of His will waiting for another boost or if you are going to fast. There are times where God gives us vision, He points out His will for us and then we take off. We take off and run and go so fast we blow right on past His true will. We feel like if we slow down, if we wait for Him to point us in the right direction we will miss something.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil" (Proverbs 3:5-7).
Oswald Chambers advises, "Whenever God gives a vision to a saint, he puts the saint in the shadow of His hand, as it were, and the saint's duty is to be still and listen... When God gives a vision and darkness follows, waiting on God will bring you into accordance with the vision He has given if you await His timing. Otherwise, you try to do away with the supernatural in God's undertakings. Never try to help God fulfill His word."
Be still and listen says Oswald Chambers, be still and listen. THose are tough words to follow when you are so full of the Holy Spirit that you feel like you can't slow down. Be still and listen, sometimes that is our greatest sign of obedience.
There's a newer Christian song called while I'm waiting. I will worship while I'm waiting, I will love you while I'm waiting. Those are the words of the chorus and they are so important. Just worship, pray and let God direct you.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
