Forge Ahead – Stop Waiting for God
God is waiting for you to shine and replenish the earth!
God does not make every decision for man. That has never been His purpose for humanity. He has given man the power to decide lots of things on earth. Should any prospect to decide amiss arise, God will mercifully warn you. However, He allows you to be the ultimate decision-maker. (Genesis 4:3-8)
Does God direct man’s steps?
Yes, God gives specific instructions which He expects you to obey strictly. And when God is not speaking, the Holy Spirit teaches and brings Christ’s words to your remembrance to thoroughly equip you to know the path that pleases God. It is then left to you to decide whether you prefer to walk in Jesus’s footsteps. (John 14:26)
Walk with Christ by forging ahead
Suppose Adam kept asking God what name he should give the animals (Genesis 2:19). He would have been praying wrongly because God had given him the power to make those decisions.
Fortunately, Adam never waited for God to tell him any name. He forged ahead to effectively use the creative power Jehovah graciously blessed him with to decide each animal’s name. And whatever Adam chose, God chose.
So why are you waiting for God? Or why are you waiting for permission to forge ahead?
God made you in His likeness with power and creative gifts to make magnificent decisions that glorify Him. Forge ahead to unveil the wonders you can produce with God’s gifts in you. He is waiting for you to shine and replenish the earth! (Matthew 28:19-20)
God cares about all your decisions
In Matthew 1:18-25, when Joseph was about to make a wrong decision, God immediately warned him, and he chose to obey Jehovah. Therefore, don’t worry about making the wrong decisions—God cares. He is watching and shepherding you. He will not let you go the wrong way. So, don’t worry about doing it wrong. (Proverbs 16:9)
In other words, waiting on God’s decision for what He has empowered you to decide is erroneous. He has blessed you with the power to make bountiful decisions. So, courageously forge ahead to glorify Christ with your ingenious choices.
In it all, always be ready to terminate your desire(s) for God’s will. (Matthew 26:39)
