I think at times we need to retreat to a secluded spot for an extended period, and think about what has been going on in our lives. God does not just allow "accidents" or "incidents due to random anomalies in the fabric of reality" in our lives; everything happens, and is allowed by God, for His will and purpose.
As followers of Christ, we shouldn't be fretting and reacting against all that comes our way (I'm quite guilty of that); nor should we be stoical and bear it with a grim countenance (the so called "macho" or "manly" stance). Rather, seek and you shall find the answer. Sometimes the answer may be something we really don't expect or understand; but we got to remind ourselves His will is the best for us.
Have you marked down a date with our Heavenly Father?

ReplyDeleteTrue true... Often important things like that are often pushed out by the daily grind, the urgent, and other distractions. It is hard to be properly still and listening well (to what God is saying, and what we should be doing), in the midst of all the noise around.
Or in the words of my pastor, sometimes we just need to "Sit down, shut up and listen" :D
