Will You Go

Who had led them all the way, and had selected the best places for them to camp, and had guided them by a pillar of fire at night and a pillar of cloud during the day. Deuteronomy 1:33 TLB

Good Morning Girlfriends:

Every summer when my sister and I were young girls, our parents would take us camping to different places, when they were on vacation from their work, we would go for two weeks at a time. We always had our favorite campgrounds we set up camp each summer, with excitement, we looked forward to going on our summer adventures.

Our dad was always the one who drove the truck, that pulled the camper behind, because our mom was to nervous to do any of the driving. With suitcases all packed, food was ready to take with us, the camper had it's safety check for the journey, we were ready to go and being only two and half hours away it would be long before we would be there and be able to meet some new friends.

When we arrived, our dad would always ask for just the right spot to park the camper, a spot that was had tress for shade, a quiet corner lot, and it had to have water and electrical hook-up. When the owners of the campground gave us the number to our lot, our dad would back that camper up, usually with not too much trouble at all, aiming for the most level spot to be parked. There would be times, in order to back the camper in the spot, a picnic table would have to be moved out of the way from the previous campers.

My sister and I would usually sit at the picnic table as the camper was being leveled up, the legs underneath were cranked down to give it stability, hoses were attached to the water hook-up, and the electrical cord was plugged in. Then our parents would go inside the camper to see if anything had fallen out of the cupboards during the drive and when everything was all set up, it was usually time to have a lunch.

Just as God had went before the Isrealites, leading the way for them with a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of a cloud during the day, God had made sure He had selected all of the best places for them to camp out, He made sure each place would be safe for them as they stopped for a rest, God also provided food for them to eat. God does the same for us today, girlfriends, He is no different now as He was back then because God does not change. (Heb. 13:8) As I woke up this morning, I heard these words, "will you go," and I believe God is asking each one of us, will we go with Him where He wants to lead us to, will we trust Him to take us to wherever the "there," is. Each one of us is on our own journey in life, we are at different levels, so to say, in our walk with God. In Deut. 31:8, God's promise to each one of us is that He will go ahead of us, He will be with us, (every step of the way) He will not fail us or turn His back on us, so He reminds us that we don't have to fear.

Girlfriends, you may already know where God is calling you to go, you may already know what He's been asking you to do, and of course it's all for His glory, are you willing to take the step to go? This is a question that only you can answer for yourself, will you go or will you stay, will you do, will you serve, will you step into the unknown, knowing that God will be with you leading and guiding you every step of the way...what will your answer be, will you go?

Let's Pray,

Father God, we come before you today with humble hearts, as you have asked the question, will we go. Lord we help us to be brave like Peter as he stepped out of the boat to walk on the water with you. Lord help us to keep our eyes focused on you as we surrender our lives and our will to you and say yes we will go, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Be blessed sweet ones and pass the blessings on. Know that God has great things in store for each and every one of you.
