confusion

i'm not sure what's happening lately. I feel like there is a lot of confusion and people searching for the LORD but there's not enough actual listening.

I don't know i can't put my finger on it. but i'm having God conversations with people but something is missing. i can't quite see through the confusion.

there is a lot of mourning right now and the LORD uses times like this to draw us closer to him, through his comfort he brings about changes for our good. but i don't believe it's a time to make life changing decisions. It's a time to recover, to get rid of all the baggage, to just stand still, talk to the LORD and then listen.....it's the listening bit that's missing because as you mourn it becomes all about you....your pain, your hurt, your anger, your sadness.....and you turn to the LORD but at the same time...you need to be still and know that he is God.

Isaiah 46:9,10 was my reading today:
Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.

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.

The LORD is trying to fulfil his purpose from the death of my cousin. But if we make it all about us then confusion reigns and we might do good but we miss the good the LORD had planned for us specifically to do.

In writing all this I am now clearer on why all this talking doesn't feel right. Thanks, Lord! show us LORD what your plan is, help us to sift through all the rubbish and find the gold that you are creating in our midst - to make the choices we need to make to walk in your way, your plans, and take our eyes off those things that don't matter. not talking about the obvious stuff but sifting through all the good that we can do to find the good that you want us to do....reminded of that impt message you gave us in the purpose driven life book - satan is happy for us to do be busy doing good as long as he keeps us from fulfilling our main purpose in life - what you created specifically for us to do for you.

love you LORD, you are my God and there is no other. you have redeemed my life and i praise your name for you plans are amazing. i can't begin to comprehend what you are trying to achieve in each of our lives but i know if we walk in your way we will draw closer to you. thank you LORD. in your awesome name I pray Lord Jesus.


From the east I summon a bird of prey;
from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that will I bring about;
what I have planned, that will I do.
(Isaiah 46:11)
