What Do You Do Next?

What do you do when you've done your best and it still wasn't good enough?
What do you do when you have tried and tried and tried and it still didn't work out?
What do you do when you feel as though the world is against you?
Questions that come to me every day of every week.
"I have done all that I can and there isn't any more to do."

Maybe it isn't in the doing but the simple fact that your doing is being fueled by your own strength and wisdom.
Maybe the reason things turn out the way they do is because you are the one who has been doing them.

Deuteronomy 2:2 reads: Then at last the Lord said to me, "You have been wandering around in the hill country long enough...turn northward."
Catch word would be "Wandering!"
You show movement.
You are making progress, although you don't really know where you are headed.
You are making effort.
Buy you've settled in to simply go round and round the mountain.
It took God speaking to Moses telling him, "Hey! Mo! Pack up and head north."
God gave them direction and purpose.
He took them from wandering into a predetermined way.

We keep living life according to our way and our nature. How's that working out? Not too good!
Maybe we need to ask God to speak to us and tell us which way to move away from the wandering.
Works for me....
If you keep beating your head against that wall, sit down and pray.
Ask God to give you direction.
Don't move until you've gotten it. It's not hard. He will speak and show you.
Trust Him....we've trusted in our own ability for a long time.
God on you......
