Will You?

Today's blog post is contributed by David Trotta:

Will you follow a God when you don’t know where He’s going?

Will you trust a God that you don’t fully understand?

My pastor asked these two questions this past week.  I hope by the time you are done reading this blog, your answer to these questions will be a resounding “yes!”

God knows exactly where He is going!

I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.  I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ (Isaiah 46:10)

Although God often reveals His plan to us one step at a time, He knows the beginning from the end.  He knows EXACTLY where He is going and has a specific purpose for every step we take while following Him.

God is trustworthy!

Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these stars, the One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, not one of them is missing. (Isaiah 40:26)

If God created the stars, knows each one by name, and doesn’t lose track of any of them, surely He can be trusted with your life.

In order to honestly answer “yes” to both of the above questions, you must completely surrender all areas of your life to Him.

During war, when one side surrenders, they lay down their weapons and cease resisting.  They choose to allow themselves to be captured, give up the ground they have been holding, and come under the control of another.

This day, stop fighting against God.  Lay down your weapons and stop resisting His call to surrender all.  Give up the areas of your life you are holding onto and let Him capture your heart.

Then, you will be able to confidently say “where you go, I will follow.”
