Something Is Wrong Even When Things Seem Good Enough

I have picked this subject title from a devotional book I have read once. I read this at the bottom part of the article and found it interesting, so I got this and thought it may be a good opinion material. Honestly, I fear making or writing opinions for that matter simply because I am afraid to express my personal views and might get lambasted by readers’ comments later on. That’s scary and I might not have that much nerve yet to face such. However, with this whole idea of landing in a writing job (and most especially being assigned in the Opinions and Inspirational Categories), I have to write myself and produce articles that I have personally written. I am a producer and I have to be an example to others, at least on writing about something.

Heading on, I guess this will more likely end up to be an inspirational article. Really.

“Something is wrong even when things seem good enough” simply talks about sensitivity to God’s “leading” or a personal “conviction” in deciding one’s choices in life. Everyday, we are faced with many options to pick from and each decision can make or break the life that we lead.

There are times though that we feel things are perfect and in place. We rest on our laurels feeling we are in God’s will, but only to find out that we’ve actually overlooked some things and caused consequences.

Many times in my life, I have arrived at such state. By the sole grace of God, I have been prudent at chances, and there were those instances too when I felt foolish.

In my times when I have gone out of the country to serve voluntarily, I knew I was already in God’s place and everything went good, from the tangible to the intangible. Talk about financial and material resources, people support, etc.

However, I was carrying a cultural barrier when I arrived in that country assigned to me. I wasn’t supposed to, missionaries are taught not to be barred supposedly, but I did. My attachment to my Christian friends at that time barred me from being productive for God in that cross-cultural country. Thus, I was leading a seemingly good thing in me since I know that was God’s will for me but there were those things that needed to be dealt with there with my presence. Of course, those were God’s nudges and hunches.

So goes with the others. Anyone walking with God is not exempted from these challenges in life. The key to journeying in life is just to: NEVER LET GO! Never let go of God’s Word and, prayer. Let us draw to Him more each day!
