Do you ever just feel like you are just walking in a pointless straight line in life? Like that moment when you sit back and think what is the purpose of what I am doing? As I personally have been thinking of what my purpose is, I have been reflecting on what it means to walk in obiedience. Sometimes following God means stepping into the unknown. For example a 9-month mission trip. Yes I know that I will be serving God and his kingdom, but I don’t know all the facts. And see thats part of it, as believers we are all expected to put more faith in God than expect to have God give us all the answers. How else are we supposed to have trust if we are constantly knowing what will happen next.
I have somthing called pray for YES. Instead of praying for the details in my journey, I pray for obiendence in my journey. Both 2 Samuel 22:31, and Psalms 18:30 say “As for God, his ways are perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.” To me if the Bible has to state it twice its got to be important. Another thing to point out about these two verses is they were written many many years apart. God is faithful to his people throughout all time. At the end of the day, everything works into Gods plan. Another verse to consider is Proverbs 3: 5-6, ” Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him.”Even if you are in the worst of it, it will get better. Sometimes we dont understand why things seem to happen the way they do, but Gods got it under control. If any of you ever forget that I have a spoiler alert for you guys, GOD WINS!!!!
Such good words for all of us! No matter what Gods calling us to! Leaving for the mission field, or sending your children off into the unknown! ?? TRUST! It’s amazing how God comes alongside of us and reassures us! Mom
