Are You Wondering or Walking?

According to dictionary.com the word “wonder” if used as a verb can mean “to think or speculate curiously”. Have you ever asked a question like this; I wonder what my purpose in life is?

What I’ve been getting lately is that there are too many believers wondering about what God wants them to do instead of just walking into that purpose. As a society most of us have been taught since childhood to have all of your ducks in a row before you launch out and try to accomplish something. We have been taught to always have a plan B in-case plan A falls through. Now I’m not knocking having a plan at all, I actually support the idea but when it comes to something as critical as following Gods plan for your life, the plan has already been laid out and all that we must do is walk in the ways of God and everything will align.

See, when we get too focused on trying to seek God about everything He has planned for our future we get distracted and can find ourselves in a very confusing or even depressing state of mind and a stagnant state because we have stopped walking and started wondering. My advice to someone that is in this predicament is to stop trying to figure out what’s in-store and just walk into it. Live life abundantly, trust God and know that you’re walking into something good, if you can’t figure out what to do next, make the best decision you have available using the wisdom of God and keep walking because your answer may be two steps ahead of you. We have to know as children of God that He is our plan A and He can’t fail therefore we need not a plan B just as long as we’re walking with an honest heart concerning the principals of the Kingdom of God.

Psalm 84:11 (NKJV)
For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

So what does God want for your future, I don’t know, you probably don’t know and you know what, that is ok because if God told you, you probably wouldn’t believe it. Just focus on what He has planned for you today, right now, and let God guide you into whatever it is He has for you.

If you’re someone that has been doing nothing because you think God has something specific for you to do, guess what you are absolutely correct; but it won’t come unless you’re doing something. What good are you to the Kingdom of God if you’re not doing anything for it? So unless God has told you otherwise, let’s get active. Time is a precious gift that God gives us every day and we must be diligent on how we use it. There must be an equal balance, don’t be that person that wastes all of it doing nothing waiting on a miracle, and don’t be that person that wastes all of it doing too much trying to be that miracle to everyone and everything. In the times we live in now it is very critical that we begin to tap into Gods wisdom in everything we do, from the least to the greatest because it’s very easy to get distracted with all of the things going on around us.

It all boils down to just trusting and believing in God that He has our backs. In the book of Daniel, did Daniel stop worshiping God because the decree was signed? No, he trusted God so much that he put his life on the line for what He believed in and God honored his faith and shut the mouths of the Lions in the den. Our situations aren’t even life and death and yet we still wonder if God is God and if what He says is true. I’m guilty of this also. So today I repent of my wrong thinking and I ask God to forgive me of my sins and to also forgive my people of theirs. As the true church we must able to face and most importantly admit to ourselves where we have gone astray in our thinking and/or actions. We must operate as ONE body in Christ if we are to accomplish all that God has for us. It’s time to grow.
