THE UNKNOWING

( WE HERE AT WATCHMEN OF THE WALL MINISTRIES ARE PROUD TO BRING YOU ANOTHER DEVOTIONAL FROM ONE OF OUR YOUNG 17 YEAR OLD MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL. MAY IT BLESS YOU ON LIFE'S JOURNEY TODAY.)

THE UNKNOWING.......

Not knowing were you stand with God can be a string thing. It can leave you clueless, concerned, alone, etc. Not knowing is very stressful to most. Stress that you might not be were you need to be. Stress that you might lose touch with God. All these things come to mind when you do not know. You get scared that people might think different of you, or that they might judge you, or that they might not, since that you are not sure were you are.

Well there is good news. If you do not know were you are, you are not alone. There are many people who feel the same way you do. Many people are always filled with doubt, for the people who sit in the back rows of a church, to the preacher who is teaching the word of God. My friend there is a answer to your simple problem. Trust in God, he will show you the way. Ask for his help. Trust and believe in God and he will show you the way.

This is a cold hard world we live in today. It does get harder and harder to trust in anything at all. It gets harder to believe in anything anyone says. But there is one person who will not lead you astray. Who will not do you wrong. And that is God my friend. There is a battle that rages on right in front of us everyday, every night. The devil will try to lead you to believe that you do not know were you stand with the lord. He will try to manipulate you into doing things, and saying that doing these things are ok. But knowing that you do know were you stand, and that these things are not ok, is half the battle won.

That is not to say that you are never going to fail God. We fail him everyday. No matter whom you are or what you do, we all are only human. But learning from these mistakes and trying not to make the same mistake is the whole world of difference.

I am coming to you not as a perfect Christian nor am I coming to you as a saint. I am just like you, filled with doubt and concern about were I am with God. But I know if I believe in him he shall show me the way, just as he will show you the way, if you but will simply believe in him and trust that he will lead you in the right direction.
