So many times when we are looking to make a change in our lives we ask ourselves the question, "What should I do?" It is a logical place to start. What do I need to do to lose weight? What should I do to advance my career? What can I do to achieve a closer walk with God? While it is important to know "WHAT" to do, I have found that it is far more important to know "WHO" you need to contact in order to help you to achieve whatever goal you have set for yourself.
When you start with a "who", you greatly increase the chances that you have to actually be successful in whatever endeavor you pursue. We were designed to be in relationship and it is God's desire that we connect with one another and support each other in the pursuits that he has for us. If you begin each new challenge in life by asking God "Who can LifeWalk this with me?" you will find that He will open doors that you never imagined possible.
A few short months ago I was asking God what I should do with my life. I knew that there was so much more that He had for me but I wasn't sure what that was. I kept asking God "what" and he answered me with a "who" each time. He sent me to a close friend who was also wresting with some difficult life questions and He used that relationship to bring about His plan for each of our lives. Had I not listened when God gave me a "who", this blog would not exist and Journey Women would be a far off dream rather than an actively growing ministry.
If you are struggling with any area in your life right now and you want to find a way to move forward, start asking God "who"; He will not disappoint you.

Ellen, this is so true. Usually I ask god "what" and have not thought to ask "who." So I will be trying this now, thank-you.

ReplyDeleteTerrific post. My pastor, Jim Ladd has told me on several occasions that the best answer is only a few questions away. We just need to ask the right questions. Well said...keep blogging.
