Go And I will Tell You What to Do…

All things work together for good

When God says go, we need to move. Be obedient to His instructions. Partake. Step forward in faith. Then He will show His mighty power as He did with men of old.

Peter, when he was told to cast his net on the other side asked, “Lord I am an expert fisherman. What you are asking me to do, does not make sense. It will not work.” The Lord answered—try me. In faith, Peter did and could hardly bring in the fish.

In the same way, Cornelius was instructed by God to go, and he would see Saul praying. Me Lord? How can I? Don’t you know? Can’t you see that this is the man who has been harming the people who speak directly in your name, yet you are asking me to go see him? Well yes, Go to Ananias’ house. Then Cornelius stepped out in obedience and went to Ananias’ house. There he saw Paul who was immediately healed and went on to become one of the greatest teachers of all times.

Samuel was told to go to the house of Jesse, and he would be told which of his sons to anoint. Lord, how can I do that? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me. The Lord replied, “just go, and I will tell you what to do.” Samuel obeyed, went and anointed David who became one of the greatest kings, leader, and writer of many psalms that edify today.

The point is when the Lord speaks—obey. Even when things don’t make sense, just obey and watch Him work things out for your good. Remember it’s not your plan, it’s His! He will work it out!

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. (Romans 8:28)KJV
