What If?

What if ? Can be a very dangerous question. When we are at a place in our life's and we don't want to be there. God has a word for us but it may not be one we want to hear. It's the same word Jeremiah brought to his people when they were slaves in Babylon, far from everything near and dear:

You're not going home anytime soon, so change your attitude, dig in and make the best of it. God placed you there to bless those around you. Instead of putting your life on hold waiting for circumstances to change, start sowing into other people's lives what you want to come back as a harvest in your own.

Why? Because when they are blessed, you'll be blessed too! Jesus said, 'Give, and it will be given to you, the measure you use, will be measured to you' Luke (6:38). Be determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may be. I've learned that the greater part of happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances. Paul: I have learned to be content in, every situation', Philippians (4:12). If you want to go from surviving to thriving, make the most of where God placed you. 


We often miss the mark when we say to the many whom are single, the ultimate plan for them is to marriage. God's plan for those of us whom are not married, should be to ultimately seek the lord and listen to what He is saying. For one's singleness could become one of the highest spiritual plateaus they have ever known in their life. I don’t know any pursuer of God who has not had to forsake certain relationships in order to maintain spiritual purity. What are your boundaries? Allow the Lord to speak to these issues today.
