Cross Roads

 I am at a crossroad in my life. Do I go this way or that way?  Do I decide to trust the Lord, or do I decide there is no God? For if He even exists, He doesn't care for me, or He would not have let this situation enter my life.

Now imagine that this is you asking those questions. Or any other you can think of that comes into your mind.

Perhaps you might ask, why me God? Why not someone else?

Sadly, too many people ask those questions instead of trusting God.

I have a friend who is going through some hard things in her life. Granted she probably has a right to complain. And she does, believe me. Instead of leaning on God through it, she doesn't seem to see Gods hand in it. And instead of trusting God, she complains.

I don't want to seem harsh with her for I can be like that too. Wondering why God has me in this situation in my life. I can be critical and unforgiving. Not to mention questioning God.

Life is not easy at times. And the Bible does say to share one another's burdens. We get into our own messes and feel the need to complain. We want someone to listen to us complain. 

But instead of doing that, why don't we go to God's Word?

 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8

 I pray that for this coming year, I will do less complaining and instead go to God's Word instead. And remember that God is still working on me.

What about you? Can you just trust God and not complain and yet know also that He is still working on you as well?

Just some food for thought. Thanks for coming by. God bless you!
