Going with God's flow

Did you know that God has flow? Well He does! We've been on this journey leading up to our Great Trek to New Zealand from July 2011.

We learnt that you can't stop the plan of God(try saying no to God), you can't delay it(make excuses why you can't do it) and neither can you run ahead(start doing things your own way), you have to just go with God's flow(His perfect will). We chose the latter and surrendered all to Him.

This isn't easy because we are leaving our comfort zone, the familiar and the people who we love and treasure all these years and walk on the water to get to a foreign land. We've never been to New Zealand but God gave us an assignment to do and we will do it!

When we heard the word of God for our lives, we just kicked into motion and did all that we needed to do and God was on the other side just clearing the path for us to follow. We realised that all we had to do was our part and God did His.

When we started running ahead, God put the brakes on and we had to wait for a period of over 2 months - nothing happened, nobody from Immigration spoke to us, nothing but total silence. Talk about patience, long suffering and faith. God was teaching us that He was in charge, not us and He was working things out behind the scenes.

We went to a Mall over the Christmas period and there were these massive, gorgeous ornamented balls suspended from the ceiling. I had this thought that all the blessings that God had for us were being suspended. We stood there and asked God to please release the blessings and I had this image of the balls falling one at a time over us and exploding into this beautiful light of blessing. God was in total control and nothing we could say or do would change the perfect plan that He had in store for us.

The blessing bombs started falling very fast and we experienced the hand of God in such an awesome and powerful way. God was teaching us His ways.

We are now at this place where we are leaving the known, not for the unknown but for the perfect will of God to be fulfilled in our lives. To be hidden in God is the most safe and peaceful place to be. He has given us such peace that only comes with trusting that our mighty God has us in the palm of His hand and won't let us go.

Go with God's flow and He will navigate you into His perfect stream(will) for your life!

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1 : 9

God bless!
