Absolutely non-negotiable – God’s direction God’s direction is an absolute non-negotiable. We cannot runaway from it. Almost every aspect of our lives consists of choices we have to make. However, what separates us from failure and success is our obedience to let God direct. That is why God’s direction in life is an absolute non-negotiable. Sometimes God directs us to: stop, wait, be patient, don’t rush, and slowdown. There must be a reason for this. Why would God stop us if we are on the right track? God must have a purpose and reason for causing us to stop. However, are we able to stop? Are we willing to wait? Are we willing to listen? Are we willing to obey and let God direct our steps? Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Sometimes God’s direction is to move, to take action, to scope the land and venture forward. But why do we delay? Luke 9:62, “No one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for service in the God directs us away from sin. Life on earth is a daily test to resist temptation from sin. What separates winners from losers are those that are able to let God direct them. Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Does sin tastes good? What separates a blessed future, from one that is headed for destruction? God has given to us a route that is absolutely non-negotiable. He counts our lives worthy for eternal life. All it takes is for us to obey and let God direct. © 2009 Lee Shaun Tzen. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |
