Psalm 46:10 "He says, 'Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth'"
This morning, during out devotional time, my husband and I read in Acts about the Pillar of Fire that guided the Israelites through the desert. When it moved, so did they. If it stayed still, so did they. It was a very clear and tangible sign about what God wanted and where He was leading them.
All day, I was thinking how much I would LOVE to have that same kind of pillar; something that would let me know I was moving when God wanted me to or stay when He didn't. I guess we all would. Can you imagine? Like, say, a neon sign that always points to what you should be doing. This would be so wonderful, as I often struggle with discernment. So much of the time I get in the way of God's plan, and it is always pretty evident when that happens.
The times I do not stray are the ones where I am in a healthy place emotionally and deeply connected to God spiritually. Those times, the Holy Spirit's leading is so strong that I can almost hear an audible voice directing me. Once I lose that heavenly focus, everything gets all muddy again. It is those times that things get out of shape and wonky. The solution is always to be still, pray, and wait. Praying is never an issue for me, but the other two I definitely need work in those areas. One thing I know for certain: the God of the universe loves me, and He will never leave or forsake me.

I talk about this beacon and my Shazam lightning bolt and a clear cut YES THIS IS IT. But my beacon often remains hidden and I always wonder if what I am doing is right. I do get those bright beacons sometimes and it feels so good to be so connected. I do know that God has plans, but sometimes I struggle with mine and his, and listening to the right voices.
Your words resonate with me but make such perfect sense. LOVE YOU
