Trust God from the bottom of your heart;Don't try to figure everything out on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go.
He's the one who will keep you on track.
Proverbs 3:5-6
I know, O Lord, that a man's life is not his own;
It is not for man to direct his steps.
Jeremiah 10:23
In his heart a man plans his course,
But the Lord determines his steps.
Proverbs 16:9
Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come when the time comes. Matthew 6:34
I was up at 4 am today, thoughts of resumes and job possibilities chasing off any hope of sleep. I hope this isn't an indication of what the next six months will be like as we prepare to return to Charlotte and begin the next chapter in our lives. I finally got up and opened my Bible. It always seems to have the right answers for me in the middle of the night.
I have so many dreams and plans about what the next few years will look like, but at the end of the day (or in this case, the beginning), my life is not my own. I've been bought with a price. My future is in His hands and not my own. The only peace I'll find is trusting Him with it.
Indeed, that is a peace that passes understanding. He has a plan for my life, each day designed for His glory and my joy. I can trust Him to give me everything I need and more good than I could imagine.
