My most annoying habit.... Control Freak. Yep.... me too!
Sometimes, I think I control the future chapters of my story, but ultimately, God is the real author of my story.... tested by Faith, born of adversity, grown by the Spirit.... God knows every page by heart!
The dictionary defines Trust as “A firm reliance on the integrity, ability or character of a person or thing; confident belief; Faith”. There it is, right there in the Webster!
The Bible has a lot to say about Trust too, but one of my personal scriptures says this:
“Trust the Lord with all your Heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do and He will show you which path to take”. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
So…. It all boils down to this…. Anything I can’t control (which is most things in my life), is a lesson in Trust…. Teaching me how to “Let go and Let God”.
Our Life Journey will take many winding paths, and the most direct route between point A and point B, is an unwavering Trust in God. On my own personal journey, when my Trust and Faith falter, I often choose a path that takes me well out of my way…. I know I will get there, but I’ve lost valuable time and energy, losing my way and eventually, losing my life. The farther I travel down the path of unbelief, the harder it is for me to remember who I am in Christ. And yes… I have “been there, done that”!
Anxiety and Fear seem to branch off in all directions and I find myself…. Well…. Out of Control, taking me dangerously away from His Presence.
This is where I need to speak up and voice my Trust…. Loud and Clear! Yes Lord, I really do Trust you with all my Heart and I know when I rely on my own understanding, it’s hard to know your will for my life and which path to take…. Always…. The Teaching of Trust. Thank you!
Our confident Trust in God gives us the Power to live within His control, which results in Perfect Peace!
Perfect Peace in the chaos of the things we can’t control.
Perfect Peace to allow God to write the rest of my story along the path of Life’s Journey!
What is your Story and are you willing to let Him help you write the chapters?
Safe Travels, my Friend and God’s Blessings on the Road to Your Inspired Life!
