Mustard Seed Thoughts

and find out what pleases the Lord. Ephesians 5:10 NIV

I’m trying to get my life to the blank piece of paper stage. Please pray with me as I endeavor to present the Lord with a blank piece of paper.

Years ago I was explaining to a friend that I was at one of those “trying to discover God’s will” points in my life. His advice was something like, “maybe you need to start with a blank piece of paper, and give God ample space to plan out the rest of your life. Make yourself completely available to Him.” That made a lot of sense. I left our meeting, however, with a very probing question for myself. Do I have a blank piece of paper?

It wasn’t that I didn’t have any paper in the house. With two boys in school, we always have plenty of paper. I think my friend was talking in a spiritual sense. Have I given God a “blank page” with which to plan out my life? Or, am I helping God write the plans? Am I writing plans for God and then asking Him to bless them, or am I truly allowing Him to shape every major direction I take in my life?

Wow! After self-examination, I had to be honest. I don’t know that I have offered God a blank piece of paper. I certainly want to follow His lead, but I think my page is loaded with some of my own agenda items. I want my page to be completely blank, then I plan to offer it back to God.

Can I ask you something? Have you given God a blank piece of paper for your life?
