God has wisely kept us in the dark concerning future events and reserved for himself the knowledge of them, that he may train us up in a dependence upon himself and a continued readiness for every event. ~ Matthew Henry

This is good!!!
Part of what it means to be God’s children is to accept that He knows, and that He will bring what is best into our lives – not what we want every time, but what is ultimately best for us.

What signs does God give someone at 3 a.m.? This kind!
I woke up at three am, and while usually I wake up amidst Christian songs filling my head and good thought for my day, for whatever reason (maybe even for the purpose here) I woke up and the doubts started coming.
You know the doubts that come when you attempt to trust God against all odds. The doubts that say, “You know this will not work right?” “That you are going to look foolish in front of everyone you know?” “You know that you are going to do a disservice for Christ by showing those on the fence how you can get your hopes up and God will not be faithful to come through?” “You know that you are blowing it, big time….better to quite, hide, shrink back. Give up blogging and give up hope of ever going anywhere for God or doing anything great for Him…When it comes to having success….let’s face it you are just not the type!”
Wow…so glad I do not wake up with these thought on a daily basis!
So anyway here I was….it was the middle of the night and the odds were stacked against me to have any kind of a great day…..but then my daughter heard me get up and wanted to remind me of something she called me (at 3 am) after talking with her I decided to check and see if there was any texts (at 3 am), there was only one.
Before I tell you what I said you must know a few things
- My name is Lisa
- My friend works at night, at an apartment cabana, where she is there to give night visitors the packages that came in the day
- She sent the text hours before I receive it
It said that a package came in from the United Kingdom for someone named Lisa.
Now while some may think that is not really a sign from God, keep in mind that it was three am, doubts were filling my head and I believe it was just His way of reminding me that He is in this! He is the orchestrator and perfecter of the plans that He has for my life and yours.
Every time along the way when I have needed a boost to my faith, there was a small sign to keep me believing that I was going in the right direction.
So while one little sign may be like a snowflake, you get enough of them and it is a blizzard that cannot be ignored.
God will let you know if the path you are on is the path He set before you…just look for the signs.

Shaking my head
Sometimes I just have to shake my head at my own doubts about Gods’s faithfulness.
If He has been faithful ever other time in my life, why would he not be faithful now!
It is so easy to lose track, when the world is spinning all around you and you feel as if the rug will be pulled out from under you.
But as Deuteronomy 7:9 says
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
He is faithful to lead and guide us 100% of the time. And even if we get ourselves off track He will bring us back around to where we need to be.
If you are unsure of a decision give it to God.
Say “I am going to do this thing God if I am wrong change my direction to the way that I should go.”
He will bring you into alignment of his perfect will for your life as you submit it to Him.
