a Whisper…where it is best

“You may plan your steps, but I will direct your path. Your will and desires push you toward that which you want for yourself, but my will always leads you where it is best. You may wrestle with obedience along the way because you don’t understand what lies ahead. You do not see with my eyes.

I call you to trust. I call you to be willing to follow me even when it may be on a path that you’re not sure about. My child, you must learn that my way is perfect and it will be the right way for you. You must have the faith to believe that my blessing will always follow your obedience as you choose to follow me.

The heart that trusts, even when it is hard, is the heart that I will bless abundantly. You do not have to be dismayed by what you don’t understand. All you need to do is have confidence that I am in control; and as long as you are with me, everything will be OK.

Stay connected to me through prayer and by being in my Word. Trust me to move in your life right where you are now. I am faithful and you will rejoice in the blessings to come.”

Father, please help me to acknowledge your power to move in my life as you lead me to where it is best. Help me to be more obsessed with your truth than mine. May your truth be my truth; and, may your will become that which I do, so that I may know your abundant blessing upon my life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

I am a devoted follower of Christ who believes that when we have ears to hear, God will speak to us. He not only uses His word through the Bible, but he uses the Holy Spirit to communicate with us in many different ways, but mostly in the ways He knows each individual heart will hear Him. This blog is simply about sharing the whispers that the Lord has spoken to my heart during quiet times with Him. I give Him all the credit for the words shared on this site. If there is any encouragement for you, as there has been for me, the blessing is from Him. I pray that all who find this blog will hear his voice in these Whispers.
