A month ago, Me and Zoe, a friend of mine, had to find this house
deep in Pretoria North, having never been in that specific area I had no idea how
to find this place, fresh from Limpopo there was no hope in Zoe either, so we
were basically about to get lost and be hobos in the streets of Pretoria North.
However, thanks to my genius idea, we are not hobos, Hallelujah! lol we had the
street name and house number my genius idea was to GPS us … in a taxi. Who
knows that taxis aren’t Ubers?🙋 Well taxis aren’t Ubers, the taxi took all the
turns the GPS said not to, I noticed something though; the GPS kept re-routing,
over and over until we were standing at this house’s gate, it was amazing. I
mean I knew that GPS re-routes but this one time this fact was quite heightened
…
These past few years I have grown a lot in my spiritual walk
… that sounds weird, what I mean is that I have grown in my relationship with
God and I am invested in living out the purpose He placed upon my life. It is
my heart’s desire to know Him deeper and know exactly why I’m still breathing,
why He even formed me. That said I had just taken some turns in my life that I wasn’t
sure of, turns I had taken with fingers crossed that they were ordered by God
and leading me to a deeper knowing of who He is and who He says I am. At times
I had a full conviction that God had ordered the steps and I was doing the right
thing but there were also times where I felt like I had thrown my whole life
down the drain
A while after the ‘taxi GPS’ day, I was having another “I threw my life down the drain” week, Holy
Spirit whispered in my heart, during a conversation I was having with Zoe, I
found myself telling her as Holy Spirit whispered in my heart that just like the GPS, God Reroutes, immediately I
thought of the ‘taxi GPS’ day, and I knew exactly why it was so heightened.
A lot of physical things are a shadow of spiritual truth, this
is evident in the bible over and over; how Jesus teaches in parables, how the
old testament is shadows and shadows of the reality to come; perfect lamb offering
a shadow of Jesus, the garden of Eden a shadow of heaven, and how the bible refers
to the seed and soil as shadows of God’s word and our hearts…
“For the Torah has in
it a shadow of the good things to come, but not the actual manifestation of the
originals. Therefore, it can never, by means of the same sacrifices repeated
endlessly year after year, bring to the goal those who approach the Holy Place
to offer them.”-Hebrews 10:1
See I always had this FOMO, I had this fear that I would get
to heaven and find out all these great opportunities that I had missed all these
doors God had opened and I blindly walked past, and that’s all it would ever be;
a missed opportunity. So you can imagine the peace and relief I felt in my
heart when God told me that He re-routes, this didn’t mean that I had made a
wrong turn, but it was Him saying He gives me endless opportunities and
chances, He was saying I can never be lost while trying to find my way, that He
would always be there making a way where there’s none, It was Him saying I can
never be too far gone, that His love would always pursue and find me, His grace
is sufficient, His power would be made manifest in my weaknesses, God was
saying like a good shepherd He would leave the ninety nine sheep to find me.
That word from God lifted so much weight off my shoulders,
and reminded me that my life wasn’t in my hands, what a shame it would be if a wrong
decision I make meant -The End, but my life is in God’s hands, and He has the
last word, and what hope it is to me and you that His last word is ‘life and life in all abundance’ -John 10:10.
The word freed my clamped up wings, now I’m living in the moment, I’m more
present and living everyday with a full conviction that I’m where I should be,
doing what I should be, closer to where I’m going, and this isn’t about whether
or not I made the right turn, it’s rather about how I’m walking in faith, faith
is an absolute trust in God, beyond my understanding. Now life and decision making
is a lot easier
“Simplicity is best”
that’s what I’m writing about next, stay tuned …
