Been meaning to update this bad boy for a while.
Here's some of my journal entries as of late... adding and subtracting some.
I read from a devotional the other day:
"When you are weary and everything seems to be going wrong, you can still utter these four words: 'I trust You, Jesus.' By doing so, you release matters into the security of My everlasting arms."
"You tend to feel more secure when your life is predictable. Let Me lead you to the Rock that is higher than you and your circumstances. Take refuge in the shelter of My wings, where you are absolutely secure... When you are shaken out of your comfortable routines, grip my hand tightly and look for growth opportunities. Say yes to the ways I work in your life. Trust Me."
Lately God has just been bringing me back to these verses:
Isaiah 12:2// Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation.
Psalm 61:2-4// I call to You when my heart is faint. Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I, for You have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. Let me dwell in Your tent forever. Let me take refuge under the shelter of Your wings.
Now, don't get me wrong. My life is by no means out of control. BUT I have realized that I do have a bit of a trust issue as far as my future goes. Blah. Bleh. So silly.
When has my Beloved EVER failed me?
Theme as of late: Walk in Love.
How am I doing this?
How can I be doing this better?
For starters... If I choose to walk in love, my attitude will be better, I'll be able to look at people and situations through God's eyes, AND (tonight's revelation) I'll be able to trust my Beloved more fully.
A lack of trust shows a hesitancy.
It shows a lack of faith.
So again, when has my Savior EVER failed me?!
Proverbs 10 says, "Whoever walks in integrity walks securely."
If I'm walking in HIS love, walking with Him and continuing to seek Him diligently, I can be confident that He will order my steps. He will lead me on solid ground.
I know He is the perfect shepherd.
I know that I can trust Him wholeheartedly... For He is perfect in all of His ways.
He won't lead me astray.
