What's Next?



Sometimes life looks like this...

So, which road do you take? Which school? Which career? Or, which T-shirt do I wear today?

Life is full of choices. Some are simple. Some are not. But, either way, we must choose. No matter how many options there are, we must make a pick. Some of these picks may put us on the high way to success, but others can leave us deserted and lost. This is scary. We don't want to find ourselves stuck in a ditch.

So what choices are you facing? Any forks in your road? You're going to have to make a decision.

1. Don't Rush

So many of us rush things. Whether it is a relationship, or job choice, we make impulse decisions. In the Gospels, we see that Peter's impulse choices got him into some trouble. He would think little and say much. He found himself digging himself out of many ditches. Let's learn from this. Let's take it slow. Take time to pray and seek God's face in each situation. Don't be rushed into anything. If needed, pull over, and take some time to think.

    2.  Don't Panic

One of the biggest mistakes we can make while driving along this road is panicking. Life is scary. When we come to the fork in our road, and forced to make a decision, we seem to throw our hands up in the air out of fright. Don't do this. Stay focused on your destination. Remember your reason for being in the car, and be determined to make it to the finish line. Also, remember that you're not in control anyway. We need to remember, as believers, that God is moving us. He is in control. The best that we can do is let Him drive, and follow His directions like a map. No reason to panic, the King of the universe has His hands on our wheel.




Lately, I've dealt with some uncertainty. School is coming to a close, and with that are lots of questions. This verse is one that God has been using to comfort my spirit:

"Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

Remember that we have someone to go to. Don't be so prideful that you refuse ask for directions. The Father loves us, and wants us to be on the right road. Be faithful enough to let Him drive.
