Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Isn't it just like God to make us wonder about his will for our lives, in such a way that we have no other choice, no option - as a God fearing person - but to continue NEEDING him. I think he loves that about this whole father/son relationship. That as authority and power and ruler over everything, and that as omnipresent and omniscience person that He is.... you would think that he could just share with us the entire plan. Just lay it out for me. Just show me what it is that I, as a son of God, a song of love, needs to do. simple and plain. But I can see God saying: that would be too boring. You know my God, the God I know, is a fun God. He loves playing jokes with us, and teasing us a bit with life issues, careers, relationships, etc.. But He will NEVER cross the line. He is STILL good.
Knowing this, I trust fully, wholeheartedly, in a God that I cannot see, but have a couple times; in a God that loved and loves me so much that He STILL pursues me, conmoves me, evaluates me, analyzes me, watches over me, lifts me, and guides me - to say the least. All He asks is that I commit myself FULLY to Him. and in Him be made FULLY whole.
So we continue the race that we started never in unrealtic expectations of failing, but a hope to succeed. I know I will fail, it takes Hope & Faith to succeed.
Knowing so, I put Him first.
Decisions, decisions, decisions... they become easier to make when you trust and know that the one who made you , gave you, and forgave you... loves you, respects you, hopes in you, relies in you, and confides in you - to follow Him, to grow in Him, to Love in Him and through Him.
I recognize where my salvation comes from and I recognize where my provider resides.
I come to the alter to alter of thanksgiving and sacrifice to place my wants and needs before Him. Because without Him first in my life, I would not be here, nor be there. So I ask you God to show me, prove me, and love me, and guide me to the open door that's for me. I realize many doors can open, but only 1 is for me. Lord, would you make happen for me, how you made it happen for King David. He wasn't perfect by all means. But He had a heart afters yours. Would you give me his courage, his boldness, his thrust for you, his common sense, straegic mindset, and favor to pursue what's yours and undo what's not? Would you give me Samson's wisdom and respect?
So that by whatever I do on Earth would have honor in Heaven and bring glory to your name God!
you are loved and desired.
your son.....
