It’s funny how life works, I received an email from a ghost yesterday that I wasn’t expecting. Not to be cliche but the saying “When one door closes GOD opens a window”…It’s VERY true BUT sometimes what can appear to be a window may actually be the entrance to a trap. Not a gift from the universe or GOD at all but actually a distraction from the enemy to get you off the path you’re supposed to be on. Tricky, Tricky…SO the question is “HOW can you tell the difference?” Funny you should ask! You keep looking for answers, you keep asking for guidance, you get a mentor’s perspective and above all you sit quietly and let GOD/The Universe guide you. Through these people and places that you seek from you’ll know which is the gift and which is the distraction. In the span of a few minutes Joel Osteen and the E-Ministry posted such guidance:

Joel’s reads: 

God’s dream for your life is much bigger than your own. Don’t get satisfied just having your needs supplied. Be grateful, but know God has so much more in store. He wants you to come into overflow, into abundance to where you can be a greater blessing wherever you go.

E-min.org reads:

Prayer: LORD, when You put in my heart and mind to do a thing, I want to do it with enthusiasm, passion, and excellence. I know that if I do it well, You will be honored. On the other hand, if I do not do it well, it will be a shame to me. Help me to do my work with excellence–not just because others will see, but because it is a matter of integrity between us. As I honor You first, others may see, but Your opinion is what is most important. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Let the search for guidance commence!
