Have you ever found yourself questioning God or even your salvation for the lack of a sense of divine direction? You know what I mean, have you ever thought "God, why don't You answer my prayers? Why don't You show me what it is that You want for me? Is it because of my secret sin? Is it because I don't read your Word or spend enough time with You? Did the last mistake I made infinitely remove your purpose for my life?
If you have ever felt these feelings or anything similar, let me tell you, you are NOT alone. Many people find themselves questioning God for all of their unfulfilled desires and needs. Whether they be financial, emotional or physical, we wonder why God has not answered us. We wonder if our past or present failures have withheld God's blessings and favor in our lives. We question our motives and hearts. Sometimes we wonder if we missed His call. We just plain old over-think everything.
What's funny is in our small limited understanding we try to comprehend a God who is incomprehensible, Isaiah 55:8-9 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,". We try to grasp a timing that is beyond what we could fathom and we limit ourselves to a self-fulfillment, which He desperately desires to surpass. Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." We tend to over think every in and out, every sign and every word, to only find ourselves over thinking the over thought!
Today you need to know there is nothing in your past that He can't forgive or heal. There is no need He cannot meet. There is no situation He will not guide you out of. He knows every petition, desire and need you have. He assures us of this, "So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.'' Matthew 6:31-33
Instead of over thinking our life situations, we need to meditate on God and continue to seek Him wholeheartedly. We need to trust that He is working on our behalf and trust Jeremiah 29:11. Put your mind at ease today, STOP OVER THINKING, and know that the Lord God almighty intercedes on your behalf at this very moment (Romans 8:34). Let Him do the dirty work and rest at ease knowing your Savior lives and your answer is on the way!
