If you area a person who hears from The Lord, then you know what is like to hear Him say something and you follow it. But chances are that also means that you've experienced a time when you followed God's call and ended up in a very confusing place. John 10:27 says "My sheep hear my voice...and they follow me". However, the verse does not end in...."and they lived happily ever after". Sometimes God takes us to a place for His reason, now ours. And those are the ones that are the hardest to understand. But when you end up there, be careful, because those are the times that the enemy will jump on the fastest. When the results are not as we expected the enemy will put doubt and confusion in our minds. Sometimes he does this with people, sometimes with circumstances and sometimes with our own thoughts. He will make you ask yourself if that was really God's voice, even when you know it was. I'm sure not one disciple expected to find themselves at the cross watching Jesus die when they agreed to follow Him. But this was His plan the entire time.
Don't let the enemy fill your head with doubt and confusion when things turn out differently than expected. Trust Him!! Don't give up on God. Turn to God and say this may not be what I expected, but I heard you, I trust you and I will continue to follow your lead in my life. Then, the next time you hear His voice, don't hesitate out of fear, but act on it out of faith! Learning to hear God's voice and being obedient is far more important than things always ending up the way you had them in your mind. He is getting you somewhere, just trust His path for getting you there.
I've never posted a link to a song in one of my blogs before, but when it comes to this subject this song really speaks to me. Take a moment and listen to it....then ask God to help you find the path He wants you on, even if you have to walk through some confusing places to get there.
