As children our parents do their best to encourage us to set goals for our lives. They ask us what our passions are and do their best to help cultivate them. As we grow up and attend school our teachers join the team trying to guide us on the right path for our lives. As we come to know God in our own personal relationships our Christian leaders come aboard to further encourage us to become who God has designed us to be. While the majority of people experience this healthy system of guidance, the truth is that not everyone does. Leaving many to fight and fend for themselves merely tumbling through life trying to find their niche. Many know within themselves what God has spoken to them, but because of the lack of guidance in the natural they fail to see the possibility of it manifesting.
Those without proper guidance do find their way but usually after many hardships and failures. Because they’ve suffered along the way their mindset usually places them in a state of distrust and hesitance in letting others in. While their hesitance is understandable their tendency to equate these feelings to God is not.
What must understand is that no matter what we experience with others on our journey to fulfilling our life’s plan, we should never hold God hostage with our emotions because of other sinful fallen men. First off, “God is not a man that He should lie.” (Numbers 23:19, NASB) No matter how long ago God made a promise to you, HE Will complete it in you until it is accomplished!
Just like He promised the children of Israel in Genesis 28:15 “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” (NASB)We must know without a shadow of a doubt that God is always with and for us, even when we stray. The children of Israel strayed in the sight of God, yet He fulfilled His promise to them, albeit with latter generations, but He never went back on His promise.
Know that even if you stray of course but you repent and determine to get back on track, God is still with you and guiding you. Just like God kept His promise to them, He will do the same for you!
BE BLESSED
