Fork in the Track

Decision time..which way Lord?



maybe the fork in the track means its time for lunch ??



I received an email today sharing how those who belong to Jesus were seen being given a choice of which path to follow...some on a familiar road and some on an unknown road and it reminded me of a dream a  lady at our church shared with me that she had received about a week ago. There was however, a slight difference..

Dream: the dream in brief involved our church on a train going along a track and we came to a fork in the track.... in short she was asked by someone at the church to make a decision which way we were to go. When she was about to make a decision the Holy Spirit prompted her, UHHHH which way are you going? She then reaslised she was going to take the fork that she wanted to take but had not asked the Holy Spirit which way we should go. Once she asked, the Holy Spirit said, 'Take the left fork' As she looked there was no track to the left and we had to all get out and chop down the undergrowth as it was uncultivated ground and had not yet been established as a track.

What I loved about the dream was there was two tracks to take, but it was the Spirit of the Lord who showed us which path we should take once we asked him. Without consulting Him we would have taken which path we thought was best. Maybe the Lord would have led some at that place of decision to take a different fork, but it was not about taking the most impulsive, exciting or sacrificial fork etc. It was about going the way the Lord had called us... As it turned out we took the uncultivated route with the Lords blessing, but had he told us to take the other route (even if cultivated for us) that would have been perfect too.... because that would have been Gods best for us as a body of believers ....Obedience is better than sacrifice.
