“A righteous man’s steps are foreordained by God.”
Immanuel Sun talks about the absolutely essential ingredient of faith in the believer’s walk with the Lord, most importantly those in leadership positions. Many times we make false assumptions after hearing something from the Lord that is His will for our life in that the carrying out of that will is going to fit into our imagination of how we think God will fulfill it through us. In essence, we place God in a neat, tidy box that fits our own comfort level in how we will allow Him to carry out His will for our life.
God’s endorsement of the expectation of our imagination does not require much faith on our part. True and real faith, the kind of faith that pleases God, and that a mature son embraces and walks in, recognizes that the fulfillment of God’s will through his life is exactly that- God’s will. When things happen, good or bad, a mature son is unshakably confident in knowing that it is God himself working out the fulfillment of His will in our lives in His way. We must choose to have faith and see it through in the way God chooses to fulfill it, or we will inevitably begin to create “something else” apart from God’s will that stands on man’s weaknesses and lower wisdom. Anything created apart from God’s soveriegn will can never be eternal. One of the most common methods of deception by the enemy is to deceive a son into thinking that there is “another way” to achieve what God has commissioned him to do. Is this not the idea that the serpent presented to Eve in the Garden of Eden? There is never “another way” in the obedient walk of a mature and faithful son of God.
