Discovering God’s Guidance
When uncertainty grips our hearts, we often search for answers. Starla was no exception. As she contemplated becoming a missionary, she sought God’s direction. The Bible promises, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will watch over you” (Psalm 32:8, NLT). Starla took this promise to heart, praying for clarity on her life’s purpose.
A Turning Point
During a short mission trip, Starla’s fears began to surface. The thought of committing to a long-term mission sent her mind racing. Would she ever see her family again? Would she face danger alone? But as she walked alongside tribal children, singing a familiar chorus, “The Savior is waiting to enter your heart. Why don’t you let Him come in?”, everything changed. In that moment, Starla realized these children needed to hear about Jesus, and her fears gave way to tears of gratitude.
Peace Replaces Fear
Thirty years have passed since that transformative moment, and Starla’s journey has been marked by God’s faithfulness. Alongside her husband, she continues to serve, witnessing God’s power in reaching the world for Jesus. As Psalm 32:8 reminds us, God is our guide, advising and watching over us. When we surrender our plans to His direction, we can trust that He will lead us along the best pathway for our lives.
Embracing God’s Direction
In a world filled with uncertainty, it’s comforting to know that God desires to guide us. As we seek His will, we can rest assured that He will watch over us, providing peace in the midst of turmoil. Will you let go of your fears and trust God to direct your path?
