the cross roads.......I know better Lord.

Perhaps its just me, but do you ever get to a crossroads, a place where it seems like you are being asked to do something or go somewhere that just doesn't seem to fit with what you want for your life......you just can't make sense of it.

Mr Jonah in the bible had such an experience. God asked him to go to Nineveh and he just could not make sense of it. He could not see God's plans, purposes and provision......he could only see what made sense to him.....to go in another direction....to turn left instead of right at the crossroads.

Isaiah 55:8-9 (http://www.biblegateway.com)

New International Version (NIV)

⁸ “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
⁹ “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

 

Whats the Nineveh in your life? Have you chosen your own way only to find that God keeps pursuing you.....maybe you got caught by a whale and spit on shore and the cross roads have been represented to you so that you have another chance at making the right choice!!

 

You are not alone!!
