Embracing the Unseen Path
When opportunities of a lifetime arise, it’s natural to jump at the chance to serve. But what happens when God’s Spirit whispers a different plan? This is exactly what happened to me when I first became a born-again Christian. With a ministry project on the horizon, I was ready to dive in headfirst. Yet, just a week before launch, God’s Spirit intervened, instructing me to step away. No explanations, just a clear command.
A Lesson from Mark’s Journey
This experience reminded me of the often-overlooked story of John Mark. As he traveled with Paul and Barnabas, he had the chance to be part of something revolutionary. But then, unexpectedly, Mark announced his departure, leaving the mission behind. While we may never know the reasons behind his decision, one thing is certain: God had a plan for Mark, just as He does for each of us.
Following the Unseen Path
To be Spirit-led means surrendering to God’s guidance, even when it defies our understanding. This can lead to disagreements and uncertainty, as seen in Mark’s story and my own experience. However, we must trust that God knows the path we must take to fulfill our purpose. He is the master navigator, guiding us through life’s twists and turns.
A Prayer for Faith
Lord, we often struggle with surrender, wanting to control our own destiny. Help us to release our grip and have faith in Your guidance. Give us the strength to trust that You will never abandon or mislead us. May we truly be Spirit-led, following the unseen path You have laid out for us. Amen.
