A Day Late...

Yesterday's devotional was just as good!

How much do I trust God? It's easier to just type it out, from the book, "Jesus Calling" October 10

Trust Me enough to let things happen without striving to predict or control them. Relax and refresh yourself in the Light of My everlasting Love. My Love-Light never dims, yet you are often unaware of My radiant Presence. when you project yourself into the future, rehearsing what you will do or say, you are seeking to be self-sufficient: to be adequate without My help. this is a subtle sin - so common that is usually slips by unnoticed.

The alternative is to live fully in the present, depending on Me each moment. Rather than fearing your inadequacy, rejoice in My abundant supply. Train your mind to seek My help continually, even when you feel competent to handle something by yourself. Don't divide your life into things you can do by yourself and things that require My help. Instead, learn to rely on me in every situation. This discipline will enable you to enjoy life more and to face each day confidently.

This really goes hand in hand with Crazy Love - I am ordinary and inadequate, but God uses ordinary inadequate people to do His will. How blessed I am, to be chosen to go through the trials I've endured in the last 14-16 months. Not only am I blessed, but God is using each and every situation to His Glory! Not all prayers have been answered, in this moment of time, however I know that God has answered ALL of my prayers....

Psalm 37:1-6
1 Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;

2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Delight yourself in the Lord
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:

6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

Philippians 4:19 (ESV) - "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
