“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me,

I shall come forth as gold.”

Job 23:10

Not too long ago God was dealing with me about something. He had given me direction but I did not want to accept it as him and instead fought him on it for a while.

I got some really great advice from a friend of mine. He told me that we can keep going over what we believe is God’s will for us. God is a gentlemen. After a while, He will go away. He will let you have what you want to have.

We can either let God in or we can push him away.

If you let God in, you may not hear what you wanted to hear. It may not seem like the safest thing or the wisest thing to follow where he is leading.

It may seem like something that is truly scary to you.

You may even make some mistakes trying to follow his voice. But he is always looking out for us and if he knows our heart is gentle toward him and that we are trying to do what we believe is him, I believe that he will not allow our lives to go astray.

He has a way of making perfect master-plans come into play. He has a way of making great things happen for people who really didn’t feel that they deserved it considering the messed up situations they once found themselves in.

So don’t be afraid to let God in, and don’t be afraid to follow him.
