Where are YOU in YOUR LIFE Right Now? (Part 2)

GOD REVEALS YOUR NEXT STEP
"I'm running away from my mistress Sarai," she answered. Genesis 16:8b

Hagar had to accept who she was in God's eyes:  The Servant of Sarai.  Hagar then had to tell God the truth about where she had come from and where she was going: that she was running away from Sarai. 

God's word, which is the truth, is "a lamp to your feet and a light to your path."  It tells you who you are, where you are coming from, and where you are going. 

Again, God's word is truth. To know where you are in your life right now, simply start from the truth about yourself and what you are doing. 

• Who are you? 
• Where are you right now? 
• Where are you trying to go? 

When you honestly answer these questions, God's word will be a lamp to your feet.  He'll show you where He wants you right now.  You may be exactly where He wants you to be. Or He may tell you to stop running away from where you are.

God told Hagar to go back to Sarai.  He gave Hagar the hope of a blessed future; God gave her the next step in her life.  But again, before all of this could happen, God found Hagar, told her the truth of who she was, and demanded that Hagar tell the truth of where she came from and where she was going.

In the same way, once you are honest about who you are, where you are coming from, and where you trying to go, the Spirit will tell you what you are to do right now, and He'll give you the very next step of your life.
