“… set your hearts on things above….set your minds on things above” Colossians 3:1b, 2

Our God is such a faithful guide.  From down here we cannot see much of the future. In fact, we sort of back into it, being very aware of the past and present, but seeing very little of where we should step next. God, however, being outside time, knows what’s coming and will guide us if we are willing to listen, as we “seek those things which are above.”

Right now, God is teaching us that an important part of “seeking things above” is praying through each situation, each event and then waiting for Him to open doors rather than pushing through them in our own strength. Recently we saw again how God, in His time, answers prayer for guidance.

This past weekend a man with 25 years of experience in our line of work just “happened” to drop by on his way to other countries. In the discussions with him, a number of areas we have had questions about were illuminated and guided us in how to  move ahead.

It is truly an adventure to walk with the Lord Jesus and watch Him unfold for us the terrain where we are to tred. What we need the most is to wait for Him to do so and not run ahead on our own. We need to obey the word, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…” (Pro. 3:5).
