Where do we go from here?

When the dust settles, the vacation ends, the guests go home and the door closes, we might ask, Where do we go from here? This can leave us with a feeling of relief, depression or anything in between. When we face the situations of life that arise we often see a chapter in our lives concluding. Hope comes when we begin to look out not in. To the future not the past. God always encourages us to move forward, to not look back, to pursue not retreat, to be active not passive. So how do we begin the next chapter? If you feel like you are at the end of one journey or a fork in the road - this is a good time to ask the Lord, "Where do we go from here"? God is our cheerleader, a personal encourager, as well as, the all knowing God! He knows exactly what you need, He knows exactly where you are, He knows exactly what you can handle, and He knows exactly how to get it to you!

Last week in a Bible study I attend, we discussed Elijah being led to the Valley of Kerith. God told him he would be fed by Ravens. Birds actually came and gave Him all He needed. The hand of God directed them to act contrary to their nature and instead of being greedy they gave the food from their mouth to God's own. Daniel was thrown into a den with hungry lions for an entire night and yet they overcame their nature and didn't respond to their hunger pains. Over an over again we see God taking care of His people in situations they'd probably rather not be in! God knows us by name, He knows every head on our head, and His thoughts toward us are MORE than the sands on the seashore!

IF you find yourself at the end of a chapter in your life, the completion of a goal, or a place where dreams have ended (for good or bad) - you are at a beautiful place. The Lord says, if we will ask, the door will be opened. He encourages us to dialogue with him, to choose to be guided by him every step of the way. We are in relationship with the God of the universe. And He knows what you need. Let Him meet you here and aswer your question..."Where do we go from here?"
