Yesterday during service the Lord gave me a word I want to share. He said “What flavor are you looking for? My flavors are as numerous as quail in the desert. You can have your fill of what you desire. But what I want for you is to harken to my will. See I have laid out mantles before some. Others are to pick up my yoke and carry my burden. This is my will for all.”

The flavors He talks of are the different types or paths a church is following. You can search and find something you like. The mention of quail is a reference to having so much that you are sick and tired of it. With the chance that you may not be happy at all. Still looking for something to please you. Hoping to find that which is going to the one. Yeah, good luck with that. Your focus is on yourself. Not on the One who will be the difference.

When you take the focus off of yourself and put it on Him you will find what you are looking for. In Jere. 29:11 it states ” I know the plans I have for you…” Notice its His plans for you. Its not my plans that I want God to be ok with. So if God is the God of your life, then let Him have all of it. Ask Him what He would like for you to do. By doing this you have the opportunity to be obedient to Him. Doing His will pleases Him. One thing to remember while doing this is that He gets all the glory, honor and praise.

Where is your focus today? Whom do you want to please? There is one answer and its not you. Talk to the Lord in all honesty. He will let you know what to do and where to go.

Be blessed, Ken
