The unseen option

The enemy always presents options to fix problems we face in our life. If the problem is loneliness he will bring a suggestion (a person) to remedy the problem but his suggestions always has “strings” attached. There’s always an “attachment file” that has things in it you don’t want to deal with later. The “attachment file” always has compromise wrote in it.

It’s usually a very small compromise with the promise that “it will only be for a short time” or “just this once and afterward (after you get done what you need /want) you can let go of the compromising thing”. It may be a little lie you need to tell to get to the next step of this thing you’ve been trying to accomplish. It may be this little acting part you need to do to get to the “big” acting part that you believe God gave you and will glorify Him (but you know your spirit is bothering you about it). It may be a song that they’ve (some company / some person) has given you to sing or produce that will pave the way to the success you say God has in store for you but the lyric's don't agree with your heart convictions.

Don’t get me wrong… I know God has great things planned for each one of our lives (Eph 2:10 Jer 29:11), but since when do you have to compromise anything to get the blessings that add no sorrow! (Pro 10:22)

Satan always threatens us with the thought that “if you don’t do ‘this thing’ this way (the way that involves compromise) you will lose the deal, the person, the relationship, the job, the home, the credit rating etc, But what he doesn’t want you to consider is the “unseen option”.

What is the unseen option? It’s the plan that God originally had for you in this situation. It’s the way that you can accomplish even more than you thought and there is no compromising the thing you hold dear to your heart.
Consider the 3 Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego (Daniel chap 3). They where only given 2 options… “bow down” or “become barbecue”. But there was a 3rd option… an unseen option, not to compromise but trusts God's promise of deliverance to those that fully trust Him. Remember... there always is a unseen option, it's God's way of doing what you need acomplished.

The unseen option is not the popular option by far because it demands that you trust what you cannot see and many times it makes you face things you fear. It’s the option that requires you to put your trust totally in a promise from God. For Abraham the unseen option said “leave everything & everybody you are familiar with and go to a place that I will show you”. Never mind God telling him where he was headed, he had to 'just start leaving' (Gen 12:1-3).

The thought that bombards your mind says “if I don’t do what this person wants me to do I’m going to end up with nobody. Option 1 “says compromise what I believe”, option 2 says “end up with no one” but the unseen option says “Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Option 3 says “Phi 4:6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done (msg bible).
The unseen option says "Psa 84:11b ...No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly".

Don’t compromise any longer, go for the unseen option. Look into you heavenly Father’s word and find the promise that says “do it this way and you’ll be blessed… without compromise”.

Finally, look at what David discovered about the unseen option.
Psa 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.
Psa 27:14 Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!
