That might be one of the more challenging questions you've been posed in a while. But with the world that we live in going at such a fast pace, a step off the proverbial hamster wheel to reflect on ones strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that we all face and climb is an important part of grounding ourselves in a new reality, in order to achieve not only our personal fleshly desires, but the desires of Almighty God. The world can change around us, but we must hold steady on defending the Truth, at whatever cost.
God tells His people today, in the year 2022 AD, to go back to the ten commandments that Moses carved on stone. We are all here on Earth to grow as a person, while learning all kinds of life lessons. Personally reflect on things you had control over in the past (whether a positive or negative action and outcome), and when you are presented with similar challenges in the future, think of all paths to take in order to achieve a positive outcome. Remember, God gives lots of second chances for us to learn from our past mistakes. As you get older, when you don't learn from your past mistakes, you will get “harder” as a person, for lack of a better term, metaphorically (as we all know a cranky old person). Once you learn from your mistakes, and on top of that, you go out of your way to please God at the same time, that is when He opens up many more routes for you. It does take a full lifestyle change and a new paradigm of thinking to live this reality out every day, but this kind of lifestyle of seeking the Truth is as easy to obtain as it sounds! Let your words speak the Truth, and let your ears hear the Truth; that's the secret! For me it took many trash barrels of items I knew were spiritually toxic in my house, but they simply had to go. If my family was going to live as Christians, we were not stopping halfway. My family started living this way at the end of 2018 and my wife and I were born anew in January 2019, so I will testify to this way of living does work!
So ask yourself again, where does God want you now? Listen to that inner part of your voice. It feels awkward at first, until you realize you too are human, and we all clearly have this connection because 90% of people around the world believe in a God. This feeling of knowing will give you energy you never knew you had. The answer is hiding inside of you, waiting to be rediscovered! Today is Day 0, so remember, things don't happen overnight. Pray on a plan, a bold one to better your life, and take action. Prayer without action will only yield hopelessness and anger towards God. Hold the story of Job in your heart as you are pummeled by the enemy with a seemingly endless bombardment of negative outcomes, remember God takes care of His own! There will be many more good days ahead when we dream ours and His desires out into the world!
Thank you for this Silence. I've been practicing asking God where He wants me to relocate, as I must and have been diligently seeking a reply to my heart or my head. Nothing yet and time it short. My home is paid for but plans to sell before the world turned upside-down, postponed my plans. God laughs. I'd prefer to think He smiles knowingly. What I have learned is to ask God daily questions to help me be where I will be of service to others and myself. I believe it's strengthened my relationship with my Heavenly Father as I continue to pray for guidance or praying to remember where I left my keys. God bless you Silence.
