Why do you blame God for the choices you made in life? Why is God the first person you get angry at for something you chose to do or not do? Our obedience or lack thereof plays a very key role in our present and future. I hear people all the time tell me that they "felt" a gnawing at them to leave their job or end a toxic relationship etc...but their heads talked them out of it. Their "responsibilities" would not allow them to be so "irresponsible". I was well aware that people perceived my bold move to leave my job without a replacement in the worst of economic times as extremely irresponsible, immature, and so on. But what they all failed to recognize was the power of the Holy Spirit and the faith that I had then and still have now in Him. When you hear the voice of God telling you to move, you move. It is not when all the ends are tied up and when logic is in place. It is when He asks you to. To this day some will say, "Oh well I can't afford to just walk off my job like you did" as if I had a choice. As if I was financially independent to do so. But I know it is their own reasoning for disobeying God. People stay in relationships that they know are not healthy but they choose to stay rather than the alternative of being alone or feeling lonely. Again, do you choose to follow God and His commands that we should not be unevenly yoked in our relationships or do you choose to do what works for you at the present time? People stay where they are in most cases because they base it on financial reasoning. What happened to seeking God for His provision? If God asks you to lay something down and walk away do you not trust in Him enough to know that He has something greater for you to pick up? People justify their actions all the time to stay in their safety zone. Faith is stepping out into the unknown and trusting and believing in the Lord. If we knew the outcome before we did it, then we would not need faith.
