“If a Levite moves from one of your towns anywhere in Israel where he is living, and comes in all earnestness to the place the Lord will choose, he may minister in the name of the Lord his God like all his fellow Levites who serve there in the presence of the Lord.” (Dt. 18:6-7)
I thought I was walking according to my calling, but right now, I cannot see the path set before me. I have been at this standstill for exactly 14 months. At first, I accepted this as a time of rest, but as time passes, it’s true that a sense of frustration has begun to settle in my heart. Then, I came across verse 6 today.
“If a Levite… comes in all earnestness to the place the Lord will choose.”
There is an earnestness within me. But where is “the place the Lord will choose”? Is the place I am thinking of right now the correct one? Why is there no answer to my question, “Is that the place?” Am I wrong, or is the response simply delayed?
A path seems to be before me, yet it is covered in thick mist. There are moments when I am confused about whether this is the path I should take or not. Living as a digital nomad, I have the freedom to go anywhere, yet my steps feel heavy because I cannot discern the destination He has chosen. Where is the place the Lord has chosen? Until the mist lifts and His map becomes clear, I have no choice but to remain before Him, holding onto this earnestness.
