Major things are coming, for me this year. God is leading me to change some things, though the biggest of all won't happen until September (No. I'm not pregnant). It'll mean sacrifice on my part, but it's bitter sweet. Part of me looks forward to it, but the majority of my heart aches a little. Here's the thing: If the Lord is leading me into it; & I know that's what this is, He is leading me in His & my best interest. He desires to do good to us and promises to work all things together for our good. Obedience precedes miracle & blessing... & peace.
Luke 17:11-14
"Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed" (NIV-- italics mine).
Their faith took action when they were obedient. So often I look for God's blessing as a signal to be obedient; but that is not the order of things.
