God answered my prayer today, I prayed last night that he would give me guidance on whether I was to leave FireFit and seek employment elsewhere. I asked that if I was to remain at FireFit that it be raining in the morning when I looked out and if I was to leave FireFit that it be bright and sunny. I had not looked at the weather forecast for the weekend and I figured that, given our weather, I was laying the odds further in the favour of remaining the same (the answer I didn't want) than in favour of change. And, Thank You Lord, it was bright and sunny when I got up and has remained so all day. My Dad and sister have doubts that this was an actual answer to pray but I have faith that a God who "spoke the world into being", floods the earth, parts the Red Sea and raises people from the dead can certainly make it rain for a brief period on a February morning in the Fraser Valley forecast or no forecast.
Glory be to God!
Finding God's will amongst my own personal desires has been something I've struggled with since recommitting my life to Christ and relinquishing my control over the direction of my life. I've been struggling for a way to discern between my personal desires for my life and the correct path for God's plan for me. Partly I'm afraid that I'm going to miss the signs and miss the exit on God's plan or that I'm going to be like the prodigal and take the easy road because that's the way I'd like to go. I've been concerned that I'll interpret the easier route as a sign from God.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
