Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all our heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
As I was sitting thinking about our futures I just had such a sense of there being no need to be anxious about it because God has it all organised, already planned it out and it will be for our good and not for our harm.
We don’t even need to try and figure it out because He did that before the creation of the world so that takes all the pressure off us as well. All we have to do is keep listening for His promptings by spending time in His word and in His presence and He’ll make sure we know when to take any action if we need to. Sometimes just sitting and listening to worship music will tune us in so we’re open to hear His voice or to receive an impression from Him.
Our verse says He wants to see us leaning in to Him and trusting Him without worrying about it all. He wants us to be willing to obey His instructions, even if they don’t make sense to our minds! Samuel had to remind King Saul of that when he told him ‘obedience is better than sacrifice’ when King Saul had disobeyed God so seriously and only did half of what he was told to do. (1 Samuel 15:22)
God knows what He’s doing and His timing is never late so there’s no need to think I’m too old, or I’ve made too many mistakes, or it’s too late, I can’t afford it, or any other excuse. No, God is bigger than all of that and His heart is still to bless us and get us to where He wants us to be, and if He wants us to stay where we are for now then He’ll provide all we’ll need there too.
While the Israelites were in the wilderness they always knew they had to move camp when the cloud lifted as it meant God wanted them to move on. God was able to guide and provide for three million people through a wilderness for forty years so I’m sure He can show each one of us what to do, where and when to move on or stay, don’t you?😊
If we’ll lay down our worries about our futures and give them all to our loving Father, He’ll make sure it will all come together and all will be well for us, as we keep trusting Him.
Have a lovely weekend.x
