God's Ways

I write in my profile that my husband is running for office.  What I didn't say is he ran in a democratic stronghold as a Republican.   He was assured God called him you do this, but not for the reason he thought. He didn't question God though and the next day, something came to me and I shared it with him.  I said "I think the purpose of this was so you could see how many people would vote for you because you couldn't tell who would, as there was no data because no one ever ran before.  Now you have a target goal of who to reach out to."   

There are stories we all could tell of things we believe God called us to do and we don't understand how it seems to not be working out the way we thought.  I was thinking on this when I wrote the following.

God's Ways

To fear God and follow his will.

To listen and to just be still

To Simply obey his voice

Making his will our final choice

It doesn't always turn out the way we think it should.

But his ways are not our ways that much is understood.

We may question sometimes why.

As we follow him on the road of life.

Success is measured by the worldview.

Not the same way that God chooses to.

We think it will be easy as God told us to do it.

But there are barriers and we can't always get through it. 

 . 

God tells us to do things and we don't always understand. 

But we still follow and obey His command. 

To run for an office they say we can't win

And when we lose he says let's do this again

You see when we promised him our lives

We knew there would be things that would be a surprise.

When the result of our choice to follow Him. 

Does not turn out like we thought in the end. 

God's ways are not our ways so we declare. 

That we will trust Him and not live in despair. 

We will keep going and joyously follow along. 

Knowing He will fulfill what he started making us strong. 

 

Just follow Him and when the cloud moves let's move too.

To the next destination, and He will show us what to do

Don't spend too much time trying to figure out the why

Just follow him as He shows you His plan for your life.
