Now What?

These past few months has been a blur for me. It seems like life is pulling me in four different directions. There have been decisions to be made, changes at work, kids to help in school, and sickness (flu). You name it and it's happened. No matter where I turn there is something new staring me in the face.

I do however now have some closure in one aspect of my life. That leaves me with one question. Now what? I recently made a very difficult decision. I struggled with it for weeks, trying to make what I wanted into what God wanted. That was my first mistake. What we think is right for us isn't always the case. Even now, with the peace I have, I am left wondering what is around the corner. Isn't that just like us? We are so worried about what is happening next, that we totally miss what is happening now. There are people who need Jesus, that we see everyday, and they simply go unnoticed. There are ministries that we should be doing, going undone because we are looking at tomorrow.

As I was contemplating my next move, I called a friend of mine. He said, "When you don't know what to do, do what you know to do." I told him he needed to write a book with all his "words of wisdom".

We have a biblical example of this. In John 21, we find some of the disciples just after Jesus' crucifixion. Guess what they are doing..... that's right, what they were doing before they met Jesus. Fishing. It was there that Jesus came to Peter, confronted him of the things out of place in his life, and ushered him back into His fellowship.

When you don't know what to do, do what you know to do. Ecclesiastes 9:10 says "Whatever thy hand finds to do, do it with all thy might..." When it is time to change God will let you know. In the meantime, we need to get to work.
