Driving to work this morning I began to
pray about what I should be doing.
The drive is 45 minutes to work and
coming home takes sometimes up to an
hour and fifteen minutes.
As I pondered on the wasted driving
time I began to ask the Lord a few
questions.
Why do people live the way they do?
Why do people we love dearly,
who know your truth, turn their backs
on you as if you don't even exist?
Why am I living in this area?
Why do good people make bad choices?
Why didn't things turn out as planned?
The questions just kept coming and
my last question caused me to stop
asking questions.
What should I do until that day comes?
I felt the Lord lay it upon my heart to
keep on keeping on. Keep on writing,
keep on giving books away and keep
on encouraging others to be what the
Lord wants them to be and just let
him be God and fill in the rest of
the blanks.
Don't worry, don't make plans because
God has a plan he is working out and
all he asks us to do is be diligent that
we may be found without spot.
...what manner of persons ought ye to be
in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming
of the day of God, wherein the heavens
being on fire shall be dissolved, and the
elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to his
promise, look for new heavens and
a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness. Wherefore, beloved,
seeing that ye look for such things,
be diligent that ye may be found
of him in peace, without spot,
and blameless.
II Peter 3:11-14
