Wherever you go...

Joshua 19.jpg

I can remember a time in our life where we had two ministry doors open to us at the same time.

I prayed for God to show us the right way to go.

While, at times, I believe God has one way and only one that He wants us to go, in this instance, God very specifically led me to this verse.

It was as if He said, "It's your choice. Those are both good options. Which do you want to do? I will be with you wherever you go."

I'm not talking here about a choice between right or wrong, or even a choice between something God has told us to do and something we'd rather do, but a choice between two good and right options.

In that case, I think we can boldly step forward, knowing He is with us wherever our wherever may be!

Still following,

Elizabeth

  1. Joshua just happens to be my favorite book in the entire Bible, and I love that verse. I love the way you present the verse as God giving us a choice. How true.

    And how often, have I chosen the wrong choice in a situation? Too often.

  2. I like that. What a great way to explain that age old question of knowing Gods will. How nice to think that God gives us choices.

  3. I love this! I have seen people wrestle between which job to take and what God's will is. I feel like you, sometimes it isn't that one or the other is "God's will" but we have to go back to scripture and obey what we do know is God's will. :) Thanks for the reminder and always pointing us in the right direstion. :)

  4. Elizabeth, love your thoughts here. I have experienced similar things where God gave me the choice and it's such a beautiful thing! He wants us to co-labor with Him and though there are certainly times of obedience, there are many times of trying out and going on adventures with Him. Thanks for this.

  5. God has led me in the same way, many times throughout my days of walking with Him. He is EVER so faithful, and knowing that He is with me, even when I am SO indecisive...allows me to be courageous, finding strengths that I know I'd not have if He were not right here with me in all that I do.

    Oh man, I do LOVE HIM.

  7. Yes sometimes God allows us to use the mind He has given us if it's a choice between 2 good things. Blessings! Patsy from

  9. He's with me even when I forget it, but I'm even more thankful when I do remember.

  10. That verse reminds me of a song (I suppose made from the verse) sung by Michael W. Smith.

  11. I love how sometimes God will bring us to a fork in the road and allow us to choose the way to go. He is faithful to walk alongside of us no matter which way we go.

  17. I so love this, it is kind of like what we do when we give our children two choices, both are good, both are our choice but they get to choose. It empowers them to make a choice and get a blessing too.
