Will You Pivot?

We have it all together…

Or do we?

I have one question for you?

What happens when you have put your all into something?

Your:

Time - Money - Heart - Soul

And God says NO….

Have you spent the majority of your life focusing on an specific aspiration without checking in with God first?

We live in a society that tells us to chase OUR dreams, keyword OUR.

But in reality we need to chase God. As believers the Word of God tells us to seek HIM first and HIS righteousness and the other things will be added unto us.

The problem is we rarely seek God. We long to fulfill our own selfish desires and then invite God to come along and get with our program and then when He doesn’t we blame Him for things not working out the way we had anticipated.

This last year I had my hands in so many different things, my head could not stop spinning. I was burning out fast with no end in sight.

Thankfully, I had a wakeup call recently in my prayer time.

I realized I had stop waiting on God and instead was doing things I enjoyed that SEEMED good. I think we all know… All good things are not necessarily God things.

God gave me something and I took it and began to nurture it and it was work, but it was fulfilling noncrazy zany work. However, I began to listen to the noise around me and eventually the noise (advise, business mentors etc,), became louder than God’s voice and the vision it began with.

After over a year of the crazies… I came to my senses and said “Sooooo God am I in your will in these areas? I began to pray about each area one by one. Not to my surprise… even after all my energy, time, money and effort, there were some things God allowed but did not bless. I would be loony to continue on without Him, right?

The blessing is I learned a lot and met some amazing people, but I have to pivot. OUCH… are you sure God? As if God is unsure of anything. To my surprise the pivot so far has been like a weight lifting from me. No whining. No grieving. No regret. Just relief and excitement. God’s ways are always better than our own.

So I ask you is there any area of your life that God is calling for a pivot?

If there is, are you willing?
