I think I committed this verse to memory when I was a little girl. I had the privilege of being raised in a home where Scripture was emphasized and obedience to God was strongly encouraged. I am thankful for that upbringing, for without it, I wonder who I would be today. This verse stood out to me this evening. Of course it is highlighted and underlined in my Bible so it wasn't hard to miss! Lately, I feel the Lord has been shouting in my heart the concepts of trusting Him and His perfect plan. I do feel that this is lifelong lesson but it seems very relevant right now.
As I mentioned in my first blog, I feel that I am at a cross roads right now, trying to figure out the next step that He has for me. I am seeking His face to lead me to that next step. I desire for my eyes and ears to be keenly aware of His light and voice so that I will not be led astray. I had to laugh this morning though at God's sense of humor in trying to teach me to keep my heart still and wait on His timing. In the past month, I had taken a bit of a risk with an area in my life, and just when I think that God is closing the door on an opportunity and I wrestle with thinking and feeling TRUTH, He cracks the door back open ever so slightly! I know God doesn't just play with our hearts...dangling something in front of us to just pull it away, for that is not the loving God that I know. It has felt that way before,believe me, I have been there! But I truly think this is God reminding me that He loves me enough to tell me that I have to trust in His timing of life's events. So, whether it is a relationship, a new job, a new ministry, a new home, a new child or new health, it is GOD who is writer of my life. God has me at the very time and place that He wants me to be and at this time and in this place, I will find joy and peace in His goodness and love in my life!
