Move Me Forward in My Life

Psalm 16:11The Message (MSG)

 "Now you’ve got my feet on the life path,
    all radiant from the shining of your face.
Ever since you took my hand,
    I’m on the right way."

Moving Forward. Sometimes that means moving on from something, or someone.  Maybe it is a traumatic event that happened in your past.  You move forward.  Maybe it is someone that you dated or married and that relationship ended.  You move forward. 

Then sometimes it means feeling convicted about something from God.  You move forward.  Maybe we have been convicted to do something, and yet we hesitate.  We are scared that if we do “move forward” that we will be moved out of our comfort zone.  Yet, with God beside us, do we have a comfort zone?

There are many ways to move forward.  All of them take God in our lives.  I received an e-mail from someone about a month ago, and in there was this line that I love.  “I choose You today Lord – I want to see what You have in store for me?  I place my hand in Your hand as you guide me in Your direction today.”

Let our prayer be - Lord, today I want You to move me forward in my life.  Move me in the direction of your choice,  Amen.

Keep Moving Forward

"The vision that God gives is not some unattainable castle in the sky, but a vision of what God wants you to be down here. Allow the Potter to put you on His wheel and whirl you around as He desires. Then as surely as God is God, and you are you, you will turn out as an exact likeness of the vision. But don't lose heart in the process. If you have ever had a vision from God, you may try as you will to be satisfied on a lower level, but God will never allow it."

"Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass."

July's Prayer Topic: Moving Forward - Letting Go of the Past

Is there anything in our lives that we struggle to let go of?
How many times have we told God to take something away, to help us move on, only to cling tighter?

God is good, God is patient, God is love.
His will in our lives is a reflection of His undying love for us.

Are we willing to allow the creator of the world, the One who formed and shaped creation around us, to form and shape our will?

"I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed. I’ll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands. " ~ Ezekiel 36:26-27 MSG
