Remain Pliable

I'm simply amazed at the goodness of God! Four years ago, He very plainly led us to the Gulf Coast. We blindly followed His lead, not knowing what was ahead. The life He's given us here...we could have never imagined the people He would bring into our path, the friendships that would develop, the favor we would be given, or the ministry opportunities that would come our way. 

Leaving our church, friends, and family was heart-wrenching. Not to mention the comfort zone of familiarity. Yet, there's no comfort outside of His will and no joy and peace like being in the center of it! Don't get me wrong, that's not a place that's problem-free. We had our share of trials and even disappointments when we first made the transition, but the results far outweigh the cost. 

So, what's God telling you? Is He calling you to step out of your comfortable box into the unknown? It could be relational, a job, a ministry opportunity, or a major move. It may even be a calling that you feel completely unqualified to fulfill... man, have I been there! Guess what... feeling like you could never complete the task without Jesus and His anointing is the greatest quality that He desires! A humble servant who's fully dependent on Him and will give Him all the glory!

This life is filled with twists and turns! We must remain pliable in God's hands, fully yielded to His will and the opportunities He presents without reservation. You were designed for a specific purpose in a pre-determined place. Guess what... it may be across the country or the world... but it could be just across the room. Sometimes our calling includes the person you never met, who's in the grocery store crying out in their heart for God to reveal His love to them. A simple, "Jesus loves you!" could change a heart or even save a life!

Study His Word and draw close enough to Him to hear His voice, then simply follow His lead! He's got a plan with your name on it! You don't want to miss it! 

Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NKJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

Ephesians 1:11 (TPT) "Through our union with Christ we too have been claimed by God as his own inheritance. Before we were even born, he gave us our destiny; that we would fulfill the plan of God who always accomplishes everything according to his will."

Philippians 4:13 (KJV) I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Luke 1:37 (KJV) For with God nothing shall be impossible.
