Leaning on the Lord. Trusting the Lord. Relying on the Lord. If you are a Christian you have heard those phrases a million times. They are almost cliche now. When someone tells you to "trust the Lord" is sounds so easy.
Ok, I am going to go trust the Lord. I am going to depend on the Lord, not myself. But what does that really even mean? It obviously doesn't mean go sit in a corner and "wait on the Lord" I mean that would be ridiculous, well unless that's what he told you to do.
So many times we throw these phrases around and although they sound really good, they are not normally followed by any practical information. So your basically left with, "what's next? What do I do next?" It can be so frustrating. There are things you can do like read your bible, a lot of times God will reveal himself through that alone. Other times it's through pray, sometimes lots of prayer, sometimes one prayer and then bam he answers and it leaves you flabbergasted. Those are the times that it strengthens your faith. Then you know God is listening. There also those "God winks". Those times in life where God just does this funny little thing, that everyone else sees as a coincidence, you know that he just answered your prayer, but only you seen it. For me personally he has used song lyrics, devotionals, people, I could go on for a long time. He has a long list of resources haha. One thing though that is not normally spoken of when you are wondering what God wants you to do is worship. I don't know understand why this happens, I just know that God loves for his children to worship him. Singing, dancing, playing instruments, he loves it. Worship should be natural for a believer, radiating from a place of thankfulness, delight, and Love.
So next time you are wondering, "what's next Lord?" Sit down, read your bible, pray, start noticing whats going on (God may be Speaking to you!) and then worship! Worship! Worship! But don't do it just out of routine, do it because God is really good. You can be sure in the end that God will come through for you!
