“O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.”

Proverbs 23:26

Sometimes I over-complicate things. Okay, most of the time I over-complicate things. I have always struggled with trying to figure out “what does God want from me and for me?” To be honest, I was always searching for this deep, profound, lightning bolt moment type of answer. Boy, was I off base.

I always thought that God wanted me at my very best, slaying giants and conquering mountains. In reality, I was setting myself up for failure because I had experienced the valley much more than the mountain top. When I take a step back and read this scripture, I realize that He simply desires my heart, and there is absolutely nothing complicated about that. He wants my dreams and my plans. He wants me to be surrendered to His will for my life, and always to be obedient to His voice and His word. He desires to lead and order every step I take in this life.

Do I want to do something great for His kingdom? Absolutely. But over these last few years, God has been revealing to me that greatness doesn’t always look like greatness. Faithfulness, obedience, and humility go a long way in accomplishing what God desires.

  1. Thank you sister for your clarification today. I also have had to learn direction while in the valley. Trying to not over think and following directions is a lifestyle I can live….one day at a time.
