When I was in junior high, our church did a children's musical. I played the role of the High Priestess and sang a song entitled "My Way or Yahweh", forcing the king to make a decision between my magical ways and those of Yahweh- or God. To this day, that song has stuck with me for different reasons. (And it doesn't help that my dad likes to quote the title whenever my stubborn streak decides to spark!)
I've been attending a bible study at the church, looking into the lives of Jacob's family. Yesterday, this song was brought to mind again by something our pastor said in our bible study- (not exact quote) we need to be sure that we are not doing God's Will our way. In other words, the end does not justify the means; we need to not get in the way of God's plans for us; we need to stop trying to make things happen. He used the example of Jacob and Rebekah fooling Isaac into giving his blessing to Jacob instead of Esau. Yes, that may have been God's ultimate desire and plan as was prophesied to Rebekah in Genesis 25:23, but if they had been patient, wouldn't God have provided a plan that didn't lead through deceit?
But this poses a question in my mind: How can I be sure that my actions are Yahweh's and not my way? Where is the line? Where do our actions stop and God's directions take over? Is there even a line? Where do our dreams end and God's plans begin?
This question (or questions) carries a lot of relevance for me right now as I desperately want to leave the job I am currently in. I look for new listings online every week and check the local paper, but nothing has captured my eye. Should I be applying for positions that don't sound appealing because it might be different than I think it will? But I don't want to settle for just anything. And I don't think that just sitting around waiting for God to plop something into my lap is entirely right either. So how can I make sure that I'm following God's will His way and not my own? I want to choose Yahweh...not my way.
This is the only answer I have right now...
"Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

Heather Lee,
I am hoping to put on My Way or Yahweh with my choir this spring. I did it years ago but all I have is the singers editions of the books. I am trying to find the director's edition. Do you remember who your director was back in jr high? Do you still know where she is? Do you suppose you could put me in contact with her so I can see if she might have the directors book to my way or yahweh and I could buy it from her? The author composere Sue Farrar died 3 years ago . I cannot find the music anywhere. Help me if you can you are my last hope. I have been looking for two years.
sincerely,
ruth

I played the high priestess in my production of that play too! All I remember is the chorus of the song: My way, or Yahweh, the choice is up to you..." haha
