I am leading you, step by step, through your life. Hold My hand in trusting dependence, letting Me guide you through this day. Your future looks uncertain and feels flimsy- even precarious. That is how it should be. Secret things belong to the Lord, and future things are secret things. When you try to figure out the future, you are grasping at things that are Mine. This, like all forms of worry, is an act of rebellion: doubting My promises to care for you.
Whenever you find yourself worrying about the future, repent and return to Me. I will show you the next step forward, and the one after that, and the one after that. Relax and enjoy the journey in My Presence, trusting Me to open up the way before you as you go.
The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. ~Deuteronomy 29:29
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My loving eye on you.
~Psalm 32:8
My Thoughts:
That other ugly word… ‘worry.’ I do still worry but I am trying not to so much. I worry less about the things I used to but now it is focused on my daughter. I should trust Him with her life like I trust Him with mine! From time to time I still worry about mine but I do know that He will guide me and show me what is in store when the time is right! He always has His eye on me!!
So.. a friend of mine was/is doing a daily devotional called Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. I decided to head on over iTunes and see what they had since I had a gift card for iTunes. They had it so I got it. I really like it. The one I got is more like an app than the audible book but I still like it.
Worry is one of the most difficult things to let go of, especially when you have kids (and grandkids). It helps to remind myself that worry is a sin...but of course I'm reminding myself a lot!
