We each face a crossroads when confronted with a situation, person or comment which is unexpected, uncalled for or unwanted.
We can choose to ask God what to do, or take matters into our own hands.
There are times when God does call us to turn the other cheek, forgive and move on.
There are others where He calls you to move in and love up on the offender.
Both responses bring a shift of atmosphere into the situation, if we follow as He leads.
Matthew 7:7 reminds us:
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
When faced with a crossroads, are you asking for His wisdom and discernment?
God reminds us He gives wisdom to those who ask for it. He will guide us if we choose to follow.
How we choose to respond is based upon how whom we choose to listen to.
If you are seeking <peace in a tumultuous situation, your Abba will give it to you if you keep seeking him first.
If you are asking for clarification Holy Spirit will prompt you if you ask.
If you are knocking on the door of heaven to know how He would like you to bring heaven down, Jesus will answer.
Our part is to choose to follow, which begins with the choice to
ask,
actively wait,
accutely listen, and
attentively obey.
