Some people have to have everything figured out before they will step into a situation where they feel like they might get burned. They have to know every detail, have every base covered, have the whole thing mapped out. But God doesn’t operate that way. First, you trust Him. Then, He will show Himself to you. If the Israelites had known God’s strategy for getting them into the land – parting the Jordan River just as He had parted the Red Sea - and defeating their first enemy – marching around the city in silence and watching the walls fall down from the inside out, they might have said, “NOT INTERESTED.” But they followed God, and God did it.
God doesn’t give us all the details. But that’s part of us allowing Him to be God in our lives – allowing Him to take care of the details. God hasn’t got a bunch of scorpions up His sleeve waiting to drop them on you as soon as the ink is dry on the contract. No, just the reverse. (1 Cor 2:9-10 NIV) However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"-- but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. Will you give God a blank check? Will you follow Him wherever He leads you? Will you walk by the light that you have right now, and leave the future up to God? A NEW DIRECTION.
