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.
I don’t see the wind, but I hear it and feel it at times. It moves the branches and blows my hair. Thus I know it’s real.
With God, I don’t see Him standing in front of me. But I see Him in everything around me. I feel His touch at times and I know it was Him.
When we know, we know!
I have been living this life as a believer for some time now. And just the other day as I laid in my bed, slowly waking up from a good night’s sleep, a few things came to my mind.
One of them was how powerful God is!
I pondered things that have come to me by way of God opening doors. And because of that, here I am today, in North Carolina.
I realized that most of the steps I have taken were ordained by God, and they brought me to this place.
I often find myself saying, “where am I?” This was especially true after we left all we knew, and moved to a new land.
And “what am I doing here in this place?”
I don’t always understand. But I do acknowledge Him and His ways before my own.
I understand now that He knew all along. He planned my journey for me. I just needed to trust Him even when I didn’t know how to do some of it.
There have been a few things that, even today, I still cannot believe how I or we, my husband and I, did it.
I know now it was not ever us. But in the past I thought differently. I didn’t see the big picture. I simply thought we were making decisions that were good and life was just happening.
But life doesn’t just happen if you truly trust God with the reins!
God has guided me in ways that I can’t even explain. He has prompted me at times without me even knowing.
And I’ve made decisions based on the promptings I was feeling at that moment and hour, not giving it any thought that it was God; His Spirit leading me.
God is truly powerful. His understanding is so far beyond what we can contain in our minds.
Don’t worry today if you are in a place you’re not familiar with. Don’t go back to what you knew. He will unfold the new thing before you as you stay true.
Trust His promptings and guidance. If you are following Him, you are RIGHT where you need to be.
2 Samuel 22:31 (NKJV) 31 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
Amen.
