Proverbs 16:9, “The heart of man plans His way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”
I am constantly reminding myself of the call on my life to daily live for Christ and die to self. I am ready for whatever God calls me to next, but I am anxious. I am convicted that this anxiousness is not from the Lord, He has called His children to walk in His perfect peace. Isaiah 26:3 is a verse I cling so strongly to….You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you! God calls us to lean into His truth and rest in the assurance that He will take care of His children, we just need to TRUST in Him. At the root of it all, I don’t trust God as much as I say I do. That is reflected in my anxious thoughts, my desire to take matters into my own hands and my inability to be still in this time of uncertainty. Some days it is difficult to stand in the tension and gain perspective in the midst of extreme pressure, and anxiousness. As for today, I will choose life in Him, because at the end of the day, I can have nothing but still have everything in light of that truth. Thank you Jesus for holding me up, and going before me….
