God will direct you when you will seek him personally

“Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before…and the Lord will do amazing things among you” (Joshua 3:4-5).

New roads, new opportunities sounds fun right? Not always. With new comes a fear of unknown. Our generation is more adventurous and we all love exploring new things. New restaurants, new jobs, new places. Even some of you might as well write in your resumes that you love making new friends and meeting new people.

For me newness is not so much fun as it is an uncomfort to me. I like my life to be stable and not so much adventurous. I have hard time coping with life changes and that too if there are major ones like motherhood, nurturing those little ones as they grow old, seeing their mood change and their ways change. Sometimes I even cry this prayer in my marriage that I want to go back to my dating days where we had more time just for each other. But the truth is that life changes every single day. We change, our thinking, our way of living and our way of seeing things change. When I came to know lord, he helped me accept these life changes. One day when I was talking to lord , he clearly spoke to me that we are not changing but we are evolving. Change may sound like bad but evolution is not bad. Evolution is a way of forwarding in life. We are evolving to be better humans for future. God is evolving us so that we can be better wives to our husbands, better mother's to our kids, better employees to our organization. And when you believe in this you will eventually get to see that all change is for good and we should really not fearful of any change in our lives.

Read the above scripture again. Since you have never been this way before, god will do amazing things for you. Meditate on this truth and see every change in your life as an opportunity to walk more closely with God. During all the life changes, rest assured that God is with you and he is lighting your path and he has intentions of doing good and only good for you.

Prayer: Lord when life takes me on new roads, new levels and new seasons, rather than shrinking back in fear, help me to put my faith in your leading trusting you completely that you will do amazing things through me.

Joy Is Cultivated by Noticing Ordinary Graces "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights..." — James 1:17 (NIV) Have you ever noticed how quickly we stop seeing the blessings we once prayed for? The house that once felt like an answered prayer becomes "too small." The job we once thanked God for becomes "just work." The family dinner becomes routine. Even the sunrise becomes ordinary because we've seen it a thousand times. I wonder if one of the greatest thieves of joy isn't suffering. Perhaps it's familiarity . When something becomes familiar, we stop noticing it. Lately, God has been gently teaching me to slow down and notice what I call ordinary graces. My morning cup of coffee. The Book resting on my table. The tall trees outside my balcony that remind me of God's majesty. The laughter of my children echoing through the house. The quiet moment before the ...

Patience – The Five-Minute Test

"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." — Ephesians 4:2 (NIV) When I hear the word patience , my mind immediately thinks about the big things in life—waiting for an answered prayer, waiting for healing, waiting for a new opportunity, or waiting for God to open the next door. But recently, God has been teaching me that patience isn't only revealed in life's long waiting seasons. It's revealed in the five-minute moments. The traffic light that refuses to turn green. The colleague who asks the same question again. The driver who cuts into your lane. The project that doesn't get recognized. The child who interrupts your work. The spouse who forgets something you already reminded them about. Five minutes. That's often all it takes for impatience to reveal what's really happening inside our hearts. I've come to realize something: Pressure doesn't create impatience. It reveals it. Whe...

Every Sunrise Preaches a Sermon

"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You." — Isaiah 26:3 (NIV) Every morning, before the sun rises, I never find myself wondering, "What if it doesn't come up today?" I've never stayed awake worrying that tomorrow will remain dark. Why? Because I've seen the sun rise every single day of my life. My confidence isn't based on seeing tomorrow's sunrise. It's built on witnessing yesterday's faithfulness. One day, while watching the sunrise, I felt the Lord gently ask me: "If you can trust the sun to rise every morning because you've seen it do thousands of times, why is it sometimes harder to trust Me, the One who created the sun?" That question stayed with me. Isaiah tells us that God keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are fixed on Him because they trust Him. Notice that peace doesn't come from knowing what tomorrow holds. It comes from knowing the One who already hold...
