Well when you feel led of the Lord and you step out on faith then you must remember not everyone is privy to the leading you are getting. So when you feel you are getting Led by the Spirit in something and you share with folks remember this: They may not care or understand. That's perfectly fine. Do NOT let them quench your spirit. I am sure they will mean well, I am certain they are worried about your well-being. I am sure they mean well, but do not let them be a stumbling block!
Do listen to good moral faith-based questioning but DO NOT let them make your decision seem less.......
Psalm 119:105
Thy word is a light unto my feet and a light unto my path.
Proverbs 3:6 |
Psalm 119 :105 says God shall light our way through a dark and dangerous world. His WORD is where we should get all our direction. His leading is where we should go. His voice is what we listen for.
Proverbs 3:6 ' In all thy (your) ways' All means all. means all. This means all your ways. Every decision, every act, thought, and movement should be directed by God.
We are constantly warring within ourselves to maintain that Which is good, pure and acceptable to God. The influences we face from ourselves, families, satan, and the sin nature we are born with are a hard thing to overcome. Especially when someone you have tried to listen to, Respect their opinion, and try to win their approval questions you and your decision. This is where prayer, searching the scriptures and meditation on the Word of God comes into play. Wait for and Listen to the still small voice of God. Pay attention to where He leads, What He wants.
By the same token be sure that when you do step out on faith this is His leading and not your own personal wants. Again this is a highly personal thing. NO ONE can tell you how God may be leading. That is completely between you and the Lord God Jehovah. His Spirit His Word and His Will.
Believe me when I say it is tough. I am facing this situation squarely head on right now and trust me the doubts, insecurities, and fears are assailing me. But I will stay true to the leading of The Lord. Depression and fear notwithstanding. Money going fast and bills mounting. All this is second to following the call of My Savior who died for me. He shed His blood for me I will serve as He directs. As He sacrificed for me so shall I sacrifice for HIM. Although I must admit the price He paid was much much greater than any I shall ever pay.
Pray for me if you read this that I too shall run the course and Keep to the calling...
