Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
We are in unknown territory. We don’t know what to expect. Phew… it’s challenging. It is causing us to trust God in a whole new way.
As you may know, we recently moved. And it was a big move!
Most of our old routines are gone. We are starting from scratch, you could say.
Even where I would pray in the morning has changed.
Everything we were so used to is gone. Nothing is in its usual place, if you know what we mean.
It’s not anything that any one person can help with. It hits everyone differently. But one thing we have in common is that change is change!
If it is change that God has brought, we either go with it or we stop moving forward.
God will bring change to us in different ways at different times. Some changes aren’t that hard and we enjoy them. We welcome then with open arms.
Some are changes that will cause us to feel like we cannot do it. Those changes will make us or break us. We will either go the full distances or faint on the way.
But, on this journey I have learned not to faint or be ashamed if you feel you can’t do it on your own, because those are the moments we make a very difficult choice; a choice to let go of what we know and lean on Him.
He will give us things at times that are impossible for us in our human strength to do or to bear.
But He does not want us to do it on our own. In fact, we can’t do it on our own.
What are you doing today that requires you to have God’s strength, wisdom, and joy to fulfill His plan in your life?
Don’t get down on yourself because you don’t have what it takes. Reach out for His hand. He planned it, He has the answers.
Isaiah 40:28 (NKJV) 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
