Have you ever experienced a time when you were listening to a message and it felt like it was written just for you? I had that experience today as I was reading Joyce Meyer's daily devotion.
I came across Meyer's daily devotion through one of my life group members. I looked it up yesterday for the first time and I could relate to her a lot (at least, what she wrote yesterday seemed to relate to the current life stage I am in), so I was drawn to it again this morning. Today's devotion was about how we seek to hear from God but we're afraid of making a mistake - the uncertainty of whether we've truly heard Him or not. Very often I see myself struggling with this.
Sometimes I feel like God is telling me something, but afterwards, I have second thoughts as I start questioning myself if it is really coming from God or if it's something I want to believe it's coming from Him out of my selfishness. Because of these 'second thoughts,' I was afraid of what I believe is God's plan. I had a fear of misinterpreting God and making a mistake. What I've never thought of was that it's okay to miss God because He will find me. God will find me and fix my mistake. Therefore, I shouldn't be afraid to take the step of faith in response to what God is saying to me right now.
I'm thankful that God has always found me when I was lost. Most likely I will be lost again, but I am certain that God will find me. He will direct me to the right path that God has planned for me. So if I think there is something God is telling me to do right now, I'm going to take a chance. If I'm wrong, then He will find me and show me the right path again.
