Rocky Paths and Hard Decisions

freedigitalphotots.net

For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts. - Isaiah 55:8-9 ESV

Sometimes the path can get rocky. Often in my life God has called me to do things that were difficult, things I would not have volunteered for. Often, I don't understand God's timing. What I do understand is that God is faithful and He always moves on PST (Perfect Standard Time)!

No matter what we go through, here are some things we can count on:

1. God always calls us to be holy. (1 Peter 1:15-16, Isaiah 56:1)
2. God always acts in justice and righteousness. (Psalm 89:14)
3. All things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28)
4. If God does call you to walk on a stony path: "Faithful is He who calls you who will also do it." (1 Thessalonians 5:24)
