God illuminates the dark. When you seek God and His word He will always show you the way. Sometimes I think we get so caught up in the way we think things “should be” we miss what God is actually trying to do. I know I do it. But as we seek His word it becomes a lamp to our feet. It gives us the clarity and direction that we long for.

Truthfully, I’ve been feeling really discouraged and frustrated lately waiting for God to give me direction. I’m waiting for Him to just tell me what to do already. But I think I’ve been spending too much time trying to “fix” myself and my situation instead of allowing God complete control. I want certain things to come to pass but I am so fixated on the how. I forget that the way to get Gods direction is through His word. We need to be seeking Gods word for Him to reveal our path.

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed or discouraged but I take a step back and think “what is God showing me?” The direction is in the details. Most of the time God doesn’t make a clear cut choice for us. We have free will and we have the freedom to choose. But that’s why being in the word is so important. Without the direction and conviction it gives us we will always be lead astray.

There has been so many times I thought I was right. But the more you pursue God the more He reveals the areas that need work. Just like now. My control is definitely an issue. I am always in such a rush, I mean I think we all are. Constantly striving for the next thing. But I need to remind myself God isn’t pressured by time like we are. As I write this I feel an ease and am reminded that Gods got me.

The thing is your life doesn’t start when these desires or goals finally happen. I mean they can essentially mean nothing without God behind it. My hearts desire is to be married. I know I have mentioned this several times – but it is still something I am waiting on. My faith in it can waver day to day but I know what God promised. My struggle is just allowing God the control and not questioning the when or why. I know God always illuminates and reveals things when they are meant to be.

We may think we’re ready for something, but there are always things that we don’t see or know. We may feel like we’ve been waiting forever, but there is always a reason God has kept you hidden. At the exact moment the time is right He will reveal you. That job, that big move, that person you’ve been waiting for – God will lift the veil from you and you will be found.

The more you seek God the more He beings to reveal in your heart as well as the circumstances around you. Maybe God is growing you right now? Desiring to bring healing and restoration. Or maybe He is protecting you. Trust me, I know it’s hard! But I also know following God and His prompting is so much sweeter than when I try to control everything without Him. God knows what is best. Even in the waiting (no matter how hard it gets) choose to trust Him. Because your Abba loves you. He desires to bless you and give you the desires of your heart.

Remember You are Fearfully Made ❤
