The truth of circumstance cannot be made until you have heard from God. He has a master plan. We should never, ever determine the truth of any situation by looking at the circumstances. The Holy Spirit takes the Word of God and uses it to reveal God's perspective on the circumstance. Only God's perspective matters, surely that is difficult to swallow at times, but we must fight our flesh and try to see past it. A circumstance could be leading you into some kind of decision-making.The decision you make could make or break the purpose God had set out for you in the end. Perhaps the difficulty in your decision right now isn't choosing between good and bad, but choosing between good and best. You cannot expect any progress or good to be made if your answer to God given direction is "No". God works in sequence to accomplish His purposes.There is no skipping steps or trying to rush things, especially when God reveals things when He is ready for you to take a new step in direction in His activity. It will be in sequence with what He has already been doing in your life.God will give you a spiritual marker that will identify a time of transition, decision, or direction that will be very clear because it will be revealed to you that God is the one guiding you. What you do says so much more about what you believe about God than what you say. "Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him" - Hebrews 11:6
You may experience a crisis of belief in your circumstance. An encounter with God requires faith. When you encounter God, your encounter will be GOD-SIZED. What you do in response to God's revelation will reveal what you believe about God. True faith REQUIRES action. "If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all" - Isaiah 7:9
God's assignments are always beyond what people can do, because He wants to demonstrate His nature, His strength, His provision, and His kindness to His people and to a watching world in EVERY circumstance. Our world is missing out on seeing God because we are not attempting anything that only God can do. Is it because we are so caught up in the moment of our current circumstance? He is only going to start a job that He can do. If you or your church are not responding to God and attempting things that only God can accomplish, then there is a lack of exercising faith. God is more interested in you having an experience with Him, than He is interested in getting a job done. You can get a job done and never experience God at all. What have your experiences been lately?What are your circumstances right now? Are you frustrated, angry, or confused? What things do you think God is trying to accomplish through your situation(s) right now? Go to God right now and ask Him to show you His perspective on your circumstance. Settle in your mind that God has forever demonstrated His absolute love for you on the cross and that His love for you will never change. Do not attempt to try and understand God while being in the middle of your circumstance(s). Be patient and wait on the Holy Spirit. He may take the Word of God to help you understand your circumstances more clearly. Adjust your life to God and what you see Him doing in your circumstances right now. Do all He is telling you to do. Regardless of how it makes you look or feel. He may ask you to march around the walls of Jericho, He may ask you to do something that sounds absolutely like nonsense...do it anyway. The truth of your circumstances are in God's hands. Experience God working in and through you to accomplish His purposes.
Your circumstances may be the recipe that God is using to perform His amazing work.
