"Moses told Aaron everything the LORD had sent him to say, and all the signs he had commanded him to do". - Exodus 4:28 

I was looking for a sign from God regarding which direction to take on a decision I had to make.  Then WHAM!!  I got hit with a ton of bricks.  "OK, God, you can back off a little bit; I get it!" 

We often look for signs.  Should I do this or should I do that?  Should I go here or should I go there?  Should I take this job or should I take that job?  Should I donate to this charity or should I donate to that charity?  We seek God to help us in our time of need to make the right decision for our self, our family, and those around us. 

But do we recognize the answer?  Do we hear the voice of God giving us direction?  Do we see the face of God showing us the way? 

Are we mindful of the answer given to us?  What if it is not the answer we want?  Do we wait until we find the answer we want? 

O God, show me Your will and I will see it; tell me Your will and I will hear it; teach me Your will and I will learn it; lead me according to Your will and I will follow.  Amen.

"For I know well the plans I have in mind for you—declares the LORD—plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope." - Jeremiah 29:11 

How did they do that?  The side of the building was a mosaic of stone and bricks.  But it wasn't a random mosaic; there was a pattern to it.  How did they create the perfect pattern of curved and crisscrossed lines on this vertical plane?  Much artistic ingenuity and foresight was necessary to ensure that the lines crossed at precisely the right location when the masonry work occurred. 

Having everything in place and executing as planned can result in an amazing feat.  God works like that in you.  With His plan, and your obedience, you can achieve anything.  If you wander from the path sketched out for you, and don't pull yourself back in line, you will not reach the end result that God has in mind for you. 

Chart the course.  Stay in line.  And follow the path laid out for you. 

Dear God, thank you for knowing the plans for me and for guiding me along the way of those plans.  Amen.
