Coming
to a crossroads in life is not uncommon, although it may create uncertainty concerning
which way to go. Changing directions has the potentiality for creating
long-range, positive results or just the opposite. For each person whom God
calls to be a follower of Jesus Christ, God continues to provide confidence of
that calling throughout life.
A friend decided early in adolescence to
be a career military officer. Three years into his first tour of duty he sensed
God had other plans. To leave the military would mean giving up his dreams. This
was a difficult choice, fraught with sadness and apprehension. However, he knew
there would be a void in his life if he refused God’s call.
When
the Apostle Paul was on his second missionary journey, the Holy Spirit
prevented him from preaching the word in Asia. He later had a vision of a man
of Macedonia begging him to come to his country and preach God’s word to them. As
we seek God's will in prayer and with patience, He will make clear His plan and
purpose for us.
