9-Jan-2021_sudden choices and new options
 (Jesus speaking: ) Beloved, be not moved by sudden choices. Some may indeed be for your good and to make things secure for what is coming around the bend. But not all are for the purpose of benefiting you, but simply confuse and complicate things. 
Life will always have tons of choices, and you do need to prayerfully deal with them. But don’t get so jolted by each new wave that hits that you veer too much off the road you are to travel. The road you are on is pretty plain, without a lot of thrills and exciting turns here and there. So if something really throws you off, even if it seems like something rather interesting, just pray and then keep going the way you were meant to keep going. 
It might be for the purpose of testing your ability to say “no” to some attractive ideas; or it might simply be an exercise in asking Me everything. Another reason for a test of attractive choices is so that I can reward you for taking, once again, the plain road, and showing your utter obedience and yieldedness to keep at it. 
See, every time you choose to obey and follow in the way I would have you take, I reward you for it. So sometimes, if it’s a particularly long road, there might be “exits” along the way to test you, because in your saying “No, thank you, I’ll keep on this pathway My Lord has ordained for me” –then you get a whole ‘nother reward, just as much a reward as when you lined up for starting on the pathway the first time. 
I don’t just wish to reward you once for your long obedience, but repeatedly. So again and again I give reason for Me to do that. 
Other times I’ll let you veer off for a bit, just for a change of scenery, to see and experience new things, then I’ll turn you around and lead you right back again to the main path you are to take. This little break gives you enough stamina to keep going for a longer stretch, and the conviction that you don’t really want to waste time like that again, but will simply pass up the other “veer off the main pathway” options. 
Keep at it, My brave knights. There is an end, and it’s not too far around the bend. I will sustain you. Be wise and keep seeking Me with all the other and new options. I’ll lead you and make each choice, each decision, something worth your time having to face. 
But don’t linger too long. Time is ticking along. Either it’s a pathway to go down for a bit, or it’s not. And if not, don’t keep looking longingly down it, hoping I’ll change My mind. If it’s not for you, keep on walking straight. 
Like Moses who kept asking repeatedly if I would reconsider and change My plan, allowing him to cross to the promise land with the team. Eventually I had to say, “Stop asking; accept My final decision.” And it really was for his good, and best that way.
I do have a best, but sometimes I’ll let you do a “veer off” for a bit. But you’ll know it’s fine when I give you the green light to do it. But then, keep checking with Me and I’ll blow the whistle and turn you around to keep making headway, more determined than ever, on the path I have laid for you.
