There have been probably only four crossroads I have stood at in my life that have been real cause for concern as to which way to go. First, my decision to join the military, second my decision to ask my wife to marry me, third my decision to return to church. The fourth one I stand at now. This is my decision to retire. After 36 years of faithful service to Ma Bell, I think now it can be time to venture down a new path. It hasn't been an easy crossroads to face.
Pastor Gary has been preaching/teaching on Moses for a few weeks now and that story has been an inspiration to me. When God called Moses to stand at his crossroads, I can only imagine what that must have felt like. After all, Moses was somewhat comfortable at the time and now, to leave and return to Egypt, and convince a hardened Pharoah to release a couple million people from slavery isn't any small task. We must all trust God when standing at a crossroads in our lives. If we allow Him to guide us in the direction to take, the road may not be easy but I can speak from experience, it will always be the correct one.
I can say with some confidence that I have allowed God to guide me. I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't rightly know where the new path will lead, but I do know the walk will be with Him by my side.
