I have discernment and that's the problem. I know GOD is leading me a direction I really don't want to go and I HATE the direction it has gone. I'm sure Joseph hated being in the prison, Job hated losing his wealth, family and health. Jesus even told Peter, "Men will lead you where you do not want to go" Speaking of how he would die.
Submission to the will Of Him who guides me still
Is surety of His love revealed
My soul shall rise above
This world in which I move
I conquer only where I yield.
Not what I wish to be Nor where I wish to go
For who am I that I should choose my way?
The Lord shall choose for me
Tis better far I know
So let Him bid me go or stay.
Of Him who guides me still
Is surety of His love revealed
My soul shall rise above
This world in which I move
I conquer only where I yield.
Tell that to Job, Jonah, and others.
But he knoweth the way that I take:
when he hath tried me,
I shall come forth as gold.
Job
