"Along unfamiliar paths I will guide them." Isaiah 42:16
Sometimes following God involves leaving a secure and lucrative career. Moses left a palace, Elisha left a farm, and John left their fishing boats. But sometimes, following God means staying where you are and maximizing every opportunity He gives you to promote His kingdom. When David returned from battle with the spoils, some of his soldiers didn't want to share them with those who had remained behind. But David said, "The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that id him who went down the battle. All will share alike" (1Sa 30:24 NIV). What you must seek God about is, "Am I called to go or to stay?" It's amazing how many people you meet who don't like what they do for a living. Why do they do it? Because we all have to make a living. But what if God is calling you to do something different? It's a risk making a change from what you're currently doing to what you believe God wants you to do. You might not succeed. Or discover you don't like it to the extent you expected.Or not make as much money. But the greater risk is staying when God calls you to go. Why? Regret! Knowing you never attempted to do what God had called you to do. You say, "I have many unanswered questions, and here is much I don't know." Read this Scripture: "Along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These...things I will do; I will not forsake them" (Isa 42:16 NIV).
