We'll be praying

We are helping our former church with their VBS this week, and honored to do so. We love VBS. We love the opportunity to share the Gospel with young people. We love the opportunity to see young ones laugh and dance and sing and just have a good time, all while learning more about JESUS.

At VBS, there are a couple of summer missionaries helping with the music portion, and last night, during a break, I had the opportunity to ask one of them about plans for after high school. This high schooler began to share desires and said, "It would just be nice for GOD to tell me what to do." I understood what this young missionary meant.

Today's word is Colossians 1:9b, NLT, which reads, "...We ask GOD to give you complete knowledge of His will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding."

I shared with this young missionary that it would be nice if GOD would put it on a billboard telling us what to do. However, it doesn't work that way. What we do know is that if we will diligently seek GOD'S will and strive to do His will, He will direct our paths. He will put us exactly where He wants us to be.

It's tough, sometimes, to figure it all out. I don't want to get outside of GOD'S will. I don't won't to step out of His plan. I want to seek His will and to do His work. Often, though, it is hard to discern. HOWEVER, the more I pray, the more I read His word, the more I listen to godly people that GOD has placed in my life, the more easily those decisions come. So, as I shared with the young, summer missionary last night, we'll be praying.

Be Blessed,
