Roads.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

This verse holds an amazing promise.

It's comforting to read. It's challenging, but a worthy challenge.

For the past few weeks I have been struggling with a decision. I am torn. I'm torn, and I can't decide what God wants me to do.

I find my options endless. The roads I can take in life seem to multiply by the days. All promising fields. All providing wonderful ways to serve my Lord and Savior. The worst part? I like them all.

I love this verse because it promises that I don't have to get it right. That God knows what He's going to do with me, and that's what will happen.

But what happens between now and then? I'm pretty sure God wants me to be patient and wait for him.

But despite my impatience, I really have no room to complain. I say this a lot, but look at what God's doing!

As much as I sit here, typing away complaining about this, God will still see me through. I just need to sit tight.

You know I think that's hard for everybody to do. It's hard for people to wait. We have so many choices in our lives, so many struggles.

No matter how ridiculous something might seem, there's no insignificant fear or worry. I have often felt like it's silly for me to worry about some things, and I know others would agree with me. But everyone is made differently. Everyone has different struggles and fears and worries. And the beauty of it all is that God loves that about you and me. And we should do our best to take those worries and offer them to God.

I don't know, maybe you don't struggle with this like I do. But every time I read that verse, I know all the decisions I am having to make right now will be answered in due time.

That makes me feel so much better.
