​Scripture of the Week:
​
Psalm 63 

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.
God, You are my God;
I search for You,
my soul thirsts for You,
my body yearns for You,
as a parched and thirsty land that has no water.
I shall behold You in the sanctuary,
and see Your might and glory,
Truly Your faithfulness is better than life;
my lips declare Your praise.
I bless You all my life;
I lift up my hands, invoking Your name.
I am sated as with a rich feast,
I sing praises with joyful lips
when I call You to mind upon my bed,
when I think of You in the watches of the night;
for You are my help,
and in the shadow of Your wings
I shout for joy.
My soul is attached to You;
Your right hand supports me.
May those who seek to destroy my life
enter the depths of the earth.
May they be gutted by the sword;
may they be prey to jackals.
But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by Him shall exult,
when the mouth of liars is stopped.

Finding Everything A Roadblock

0 Comments

What happens when you try to do things without first starting with prayer? Do other issues that were not calculated get in the way? Are there regrets in decisions because something you thought was going to go perfect because you knew you covered all the bases only to find one major stopping point? Are there too many variables that you just cannot find headway through even though your plan had solutions? Have you hit that roadblock in life that has no way around it? Let me ask you this, “Where is your trust?”.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
  He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
   He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
   for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
   I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
   your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
   in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
   my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
   all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
   forever.
Psalm 23:1-6

Roadblocks Happen
Even the greatest writers and inventors had something that blocked their way. Some were able to get through them and others just took a while longer. When you have Trust in God and let Him take control the things you see as being in your way suddenly appear as a need for patience because the design or the words just are not the right ones to be completed. The Holy Spirit that guides us sometimes places roadblocks in our way to get our minds back to where they should be.
Worrying Gets You Nowhere
Life happens. There are some things in life that are just beyond our control and when we try to reach for what appears to be the solution our arms just are not long enough. Worry sets in because the thing we are striving to accomplish just is not going the way we need it to. This becomes a burden and takes over our life to the point where we begin to feel physical pain. Is it worth it? Not really. God’s Got This whether you give it to Him or not. Things will be done right and correctly on His timing.
Sometimes God Places Roadblocks to Reroute You  
Have you wondered why you just cannot get that project done? Do you know why this thing or that which you have devoted your time to just cannot seem to get finished? Is there something pulling you away from things of the world which you thought were important even if it only helps you? Did you hear a voice saying, “Are you sure you want to do that?”. Don’t worry, God is trying to tell you something to get you where you need to be not where you want to be.
We often make choices due to our free will that come to a place where we cannot move forward only to end up going an opposite direction. This is that time where we really need to sit back, thank God and put our lives back where they belong. Sure we need to survive and maybe what we were doing was for our family’s benefit but was it part of God’s plan. There are challenges we face daily that guide our choices in decisions, but without going to God these choices may misdirect us. Trusting in God and remembering the teachings of Jesus get us to where He needs us to be.
Is It Obvious Yet     
God’s Plan is His plan and we are 100 percent involved in our .0000(tons of zeros)1% part of it. What choices we make determine determines the actions we make and if God needs us to do something else, He will make it so. It might be painful for a short time but in the end it will be worth it. So what do we do? Let Go and Let God. Place our trust where it needs to be not where we desire it to be. That is unless you desire your trust to be in the Father then you are on the right track. Get rerouted and the roadblock will go away. Jesus will carry you through it.
Brothers and Sisters, I want you to know that God Loves you and Cares about what decisions you make in your life. You are His child and has done all He can to give you guidance and direction to a right way of living. He has made the ultimate sacrifice for us so we can live with Him in His Kingdom. All He asks in return is our love, and trust, being obedient children to His ways. Can you trust Him? Will you?
Rob, Servant of God
