ALL CLEAR
Let your eyes look directly ahead [toward the path of moral courage] And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you [toward the path of integrity]. Proverbs 4:25
I look at obstacles as an opportunity to gain clarity and revelation. I have to reflect on the details of the circumstances and evaluate the outcomes. I could focus on what didn’t go the way I hoped it would, or I could thank God for the favor that He just set up for me. It’s about perspective.
A “NO” could just mean not right now and something bigger and better could be waiting for you in the future. Rejection could be protecting you from something or someone that may cause you harm down the line.
You really never know but if you have faith in God and really trust Him, you know that everything works out for the good of those who love Him. He’s intentional and never failing. So, I don’t believe anything happens by chance; I believe in divine connections, and NO ONE can tell me God isn’t real.
So, I thank God for it all, the good, the bad and the ugly. I recognize when there’s confusion, it’s time to pause, quiet myself and ask for clarity. And I’m still until I have peace to move. I’m learning to not only trust in Him but to trust in myself.
Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually [longing to be in His presence].
1 Chronicles 16:11 AMP
When you shift your focus from all the issues of life back to the one who created life, joy can be restored, doors miraculously open, your vision clears, and you gain your strength back.
Ultimately, I pray about everything. I seal it with a “Not my will, but Your will be done”. Then, I wait and watch Him work.
You should shift your focus and try Him too.
