Clarification

Jeremiah 33: 2-3 (ESV)
“Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it—the Lord is his name: Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

*God is waiting to answer our questions, and provide us with knowledge of our situations if we call upon Him. Talking to God helps provide clarity, and there is a sense of peace and guidance He desires to bring. First, we have to believe that He is capable of providing clarity and trust in the word we receive. We may also have to act on it as well. Be open today to talking with the Lord...He is your friend; therefore, u can talk to Him with respect, but in a friendly nature. He is waiting to guide u today. Are u ready to establish or grow in your relationship with Him by seeking clarity? Also, be patient when u ask for clarity. Sometimes His advice takes time and  requires patience.

Full Circle of Clarity

1 Corinthians 13:12 (NLT)
Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely...

*Many times, why we go through things or perhaps instructions we may have received from God may not make sense at first. We may feel like it goes against our natural, common sense. We may also believe that we have done everything right and we are in right standing with God, (be honest with Him and yourself about this), but yet we still feel as though we are going through an unnecessary trial that we don't deserve. However, we must be patient and wait for God to bring things full circle in order for our current circumstance to make sense. He often gives us instructions to follow in order to open up additional doors to get us to the prize or desire of our heart. These things often take time, and there is a growth process or a purging process that needs to occur before u are fully equipped and ready for what u desire. Therefore, do not focus on the situation at hand as much as u should be asking God "What am I suppose to learn from this," "What am I not doing for you to help me move forward," or "What should I do to open the next door?" I know the current state is not ideal and u want to understand it right away, but perhaps there is something more u need to do on your part...OR, perhaps it is just the need to develop patience and wait. Either way, this is not a time to lean on your own understanding, but a time to seek clarity regarding your path and the things u are after. Clarity is waiting to present itself in a full circle of understanding, but seek God in order to take u on the right path.

Better Days Are Here Through Submission

Romans 8:28 (KJV)
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose...

*If u are currently in a situation that isn't to your liking, know that u are not there by chance. God was aware of the decisions u would make to get u where u are, and He gave u free will to make those choices. However, those choices are what will lead u to being a testimony for others if u invite God into your situation. It is our job to fully allow him to intervene, and be obedient to His direction on how to get out of whatever u are going through. You see, there is someone who can avoid or will go through what we are currently facing, and we are called as vessels for God to show them the proper way of handling things and how to overcome them. In the meantime, if u submit to God and u are saved, God will work things out in your favor because you are allowing Him to use u as an example of victory. U see, it works out for your good because u are learning from the situation, stronger because u allow God to renew your mind on it, and will receive a reward for submission and obedience while winning lives over to Christ to show others the proper way out. So, do not be ashamed or dismayed. If u have faith, things will always work out for the betterment of us all.

Fleshly Desire vs Spiritually Being Led

As a believer, u have to be mindful of the things u are chasing after vs things u are suppose to be focused on. Sometimes we desire something so much that we allow our flesh to take over, and we start pursuing it based on our natural capabilities and mindset. However, you should keep in mind that u are suppose to be spirit led in EVERYTHING u do. Therefore, focus on God and utilize His skills as the wonderful counselor that He is, to avoid fleshly thoughts that try to interfere with spiritual purposes...

Romans 8:5 (KJV)- For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
