What Do I Do Now?

So this morning I asked myself the question. I said,
"Self, What Do I Do Now?"
and my self said,
"Uhhhh, I have no idea but, you should probably get ready for work!".

I wonder....... Have you ever prayed to God for something that you truly desired?
NO NO NO,
I mean really really really really really prayed! To the point where you were crying, laying prostrate, snottin', spittin' and rolling around on the floor (w/people fanning you only then to be covered by some old lady's scarf)??? .... lol. If and only if you have, then I think you might understand my Question Mark today.

I thought about it; In church we are soooo conditioned to believe God for our breakthrough, for our miracle, for our husband, wife, children, raise, house, etc.... The sermons always seem to be: "Pressing Toward Your Miracle", "Your Faith Will Bring The Increase", "How To Hold On To Your Promise", "Help Is On The Way", "10 Steps To Your Blessing". Please don't get confused, I'm not dealing with prosperity preaching right now. What I'm referring to is how the sermons are usually geared towards the steps, process, and how-to's of Getting-To-Your-Destiny...... but what the heck do you do once you get there?????? I mean really! I've taken all of the advice. I've believed God for it. I didn't wait until the battle was over, but I shouted for it before it happened. I kept the faith. I spoke those things that were not as though they were. I DID IT. I DID IT ALL. So, once you finally get there, once you get that thing that you've been up late at night praying for, once you make it to your land of milk & honey; WHAT DO YOU DO NOW? again I asked...... What do you do?

So, of course I called on my Daddy in heaven, and as usual, he spoke to me :)
He said and is still saying more but I'm tired of typing so I'll briefly share two things.

First, Father reminded me of Proverbs 5:5-6
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
Funny to think about it but he told me that once you get into your land of milk & honey you STILL NEED him to direct your path lest you forget! All of our worries, concerns and fears should be placed in his hand, b/c our own understanding is so miniscule and flaky at best. It's truly amazing that some of us have even made it this far leaning on our own understanding.... but then again, that's why we end up in so much mess!

Secondly, Father said turn to 1 Samuel chapter 2. He reminded me of how Hannah was barren of children, and b/c of it how she was tormented by her adversary, and how she desperately desired a man child. She was so vexed that the bible said one time she didn't even eat and she wept before God with so much fierce passion that only her lips moved but no sound was present. She gets up, believes God for her miracle and goes on with a difference countanace. Well, God brings her into her milk & honey. She conceived and bore a son named Samuel.
So what did she do then????
Hannah dedicated her blessing back to the Lord! (1 Sam 1:28)
Then, she had a praise party! (1 Sam 2:1-10)

Well I'm tired of writing, hopefully you get the point.
I would love to hear some of your comments about how you've handled arriving into your promise land!!
Go ahead...... Post A Comment!
